It depends. If you just got a really bad hair cut, then hair seems like it does not grow at all, while hair that you have to shave every day seems to grow like a weed!
Ignoring these perceptual differences, human hair seems to grow at a pretty consistent rate of about half a millimeter or so per day, or about half an inch every month (this study quotes a specific rate of 0.44 mm per day). It may grow faster or slower depending on your age, your genetics and your hormonal state (pregnancy seems to have an affect on hair), but half a millimeter per day is a good average.
What this means is that the maximum growth rate for hair is about 6 inches (15 cm) per year. If you have short hair and are thinking, "It sure would be nice if I had hair down to my waist," then you are going to have about a four-year wait!

Mine takes about 9 months when I take really good care and protect it. Never sleep without wrapping it in satin or using a satin pillowcase. When I don't take good care of it, 6 inches can take 18 months or more. Did you trim your ends recently... you should.. some people say every 6 weeks, but I find that ludicrous. I do every 4 months.

The healthier you are the better head of hair you'll have. It doesn't take the same amount of time for everybody's hair to grow. A good trim every six to eight weeks will help to prevent some breakage.

Probably about 6 months on average, depending on the individual grwth amount of your hair.

The rate of growth is approximately 1.25 centimeters, or about 0.5 inches, per month so about a year to get 6 inches!!!

Good question, because mine grows to a certain length and then stops. My doctor said it was genetics. Weird!!
