in Growing out
hi,
im 2b 2c and a few months ago i gut a super short cut ( in the middle of my jaw and shoulders) i absolutely hated it. i didnt want it that short so now im growing it out, il be happy a little below my collar bone and longer. 3 ish weeks ago i became vegetarian and i have no desire to go back to eating meat for a long time. although as i thought about my two commitments i realized that i get protein from meat and hair is made of protein, ive been really careful eating as much protein as possible, beans n stuff. is there any other ways to ensure my hair gets a little extra and grows long and mermaid like
does that egg thing work?any other growing tips will also be greatly appreciated

Most people, even vegans, get more than enough protein.
If you are still worried, up your intake of beans, tofu, nuts and vegetables. You will be fine. I promise you.
I have been a vegetarian for a year and a half and my hair grows pretty fast.
Flax seed oil is just as good if not better than cod liver oil.

Is flax seed oil expensive? How much more hair growth have you seen since using it?

I would suggest taking cod liver oil only if you do not mind the presence of fish derivatives in your diet, as cod liver oil is derived from the liver of cod fish.
but its not all about protein,
here is other vitamins and minerals you should get:

almost all of them (if not all) come from at least one thing other than meat.
congrats on becoming vegetarian:)

No, not really.
This is the one I was taking (yes, it has gelatin in it. I haven't been able to find any that don't, other than the oil in a bottle, which tastes utterly disgusting), but now I just sprinkle ground up flax seed on my food. It tastes much better.
I can't remember not ever eating flax seed or taking flax seed oil, though I know I used to take cod liver oil. I never have tracked how much it grows but it grows pretty fast.

www.vegweb.com ---this website is for vegan's specifically, but works just as fine for vegetarians. I get most of my recipes from this site! They have everything from desserts, drinks, meals, and snacks!
www.vrg.com ---is purely informational, very few recipes.
FYI: Fish IS MEAT!!! I can't stress that enough! I can't tell you how many people have asked me if I eat fish--yes they are meat. They may swim around in water, but they are still meat. Are they a vegetable? They don't look like carrots to me! Are they a starch? The last time I checked you don't make fish from wheat. So....
BUT: You can be a pescetarian if you still want to eat fish. A Pescetarian ONLY eats seafood (fish, crabs, etc.). PLEASE do NOT call yourself a vegetarian if you only eat fish, because you are NOT a vegetarian if you still eat fish. There is a BIG difference. You're still eating meat, you're just not eating as much meat.
Styling & Finishing: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz serum, Garnier Fructis Moisturizing Leave in conditioner
Sorry, but I LOVE to straighten my hair!
2B, a few 2C & 3A strands in there
This here is the flax seed oil I usually buy but I'm not sure it is available in US, it has a bit of a bitter taste but as long as I don't drown my salad in it or put it in my smoothie I don't mind it.
I also put LSA (linseed sesame almond) mix in my oats or smoothies. Read about it here. It may be helpful for you.
