Here are somethings I did to grow my hair out (my hair has grown 11 inches since I started this regime)
1. Diet -- eat more fruits and vegetables. It sounds SOOO cliche, but it actually does help. [added bonus...you might shed a few pounds, and have more clear skin when doing this]. Don't go overboard on the fruits, though, they're packed with sugar. Be moderate.
2. Cut back on heat -- blowdrying, flat ironing, etc. can damage your hair and stunt its growth. When you absolutely HAVE to use a good protectant (like Biosilk; or if you're on a budget, moisture max, Oilsheen the spray is also great to use; not to mention they all make your hair silky smooth).
3. Wash your hair daily. (or at least every other day). Washing it removes a lot of the built of oils on the scalp and also the actual movement of massaging your scalp while washing it stimulates growth. Don't be too rough, but give your scalp a good massage.
4. Carrot oil -- (avail. at beauty supply stores, and drugstores everywhere) put this on your scalp once a week or so, just for a day. It has some great essential oils that help promote growth.
5. Save your money -- don't fall for all the products that claim they help your hair grow. It's a trap and waste of money (not that they're ALL croaks). Find what works for YOU. Just take care of your hair. The hair that grows the fastest is HEALTHY hair.
Good luck!!!!!!!

You have to be patient. I know! It's really hard! I'm growing mine out, too. Brush your hair gently and start at the bottom, so you don't break any hairs. Conditioner helps, because as your hair gets longer, it tangles easier. Especially if you hair is thick.

use good products (shampoo and conditioner...I like Flex, it's an old product). Long comes from 5 or 6 years of letting your hair grow. If you use the conditioner (rinse) then you won't have to keep trimming it for split ends.

I think you have to deal with what your family genes gave you, unless you want to go the route of getting extensions but that can get pretty expensive for the high end.

well grow your hair out and take good care of it....there's no magic potion out there. I use Pantene...it makes my hair soft....and I think if you eat more, you hair grows faster cuz hair is waste afterall but you might gain weight so what ever floats your boat.
