Is there an actually proven way to make hair grow thicker/longer?
My hair is awful :( I've always had very thin, fine hair but since having a baby 7 months ago, it's now almost see through it's so fine. It's now shoulder length and refusing to grow any further.

So, been told need to…

Cheapest place to buy B2 and CO-Q10?
It was suggested by my neurologist that I start taking these and they should help with my migraine. They do help but they're not cheap! I currently buy my B2 at Holland and Barrett and my CO-Q10 from Boots. Happy to buy online. But is there anywhere cheaper?
