I started taking 1000 mlg a day 5 weeks ago. It grew a full inch+ since. I get my hair weaved with bleach every 7-8 weeks and have done so for like 20 years. Now, after fish oil/omega 3, my hair is in the BEST condition it has ever been. I thought my hair was oily and all but really its just super healthy hair. I'm just used to dry thin hair that breaks a lot. Seriously, it works. It's cheap also. HIGHLY recommended.
