How can I get longer and smoother hair?

im tired of those shampoo comercials with those girls and their long flowing hair. what stuff really works? my hair only grows a little past my shoulders but it wont grow anymore after that and I want my hair to be really silky. anyone know of any hair products that actually work?

if you want your hair to grow faster, take biotin. Its a vitamin that you can get pretty much anywhere that has vitamins. To get healthier, smoother hair that doesnt look as fried/frizzy, take a tea bag and soak it in about 3/4 cups hot water. Put it in the refridgerator until its chilled. Next time you take a shower, rinse with the chilled tea. The ingredients in the tea help to smooth the hair shaft, and close the cuticles to lock in moisture for an ultra sleek look. Don't worry about rinsing it with water after the tea, It won't make your hair greasy or weigh it down. (Just be sure that you don't tear the tea bag while soaking it, unless you want little chunks of tea-leaf all in your scalp.)If you dont have any tea bags, just rinse your hair with ice cold water to close the cuticles. Don't blowdry your hair everyday, it really damages it in the long-run. I rarely ever blow-dry my hair. Instead, just use your fingers to comb through it as it dries.

Hope this helps.
