Question

Answer 1

The old thing in movies about brushing your hair so amny strokes each night is because that stimulates the hair folicles and therefore the hair is supposed to grow faster and healthier.
also, hair is made of protein and eating enough protein will help. You can go to Nutrition Express Website and type in hair vitamins and they have all of that there, you can get the 800 number and have a catalog sent to you also. good protein products also. Good luck.

Answer 3

In short, no pun intended, you can't. Putting illness aside, hair pretty much grows at a maximum rate of half an inch to one inch per month no matter what you do. A little faster in the summer than in the winter.

Different hair and different hair colors will grow at a different rate. In general at the rate of 1/2 to one inch per month hair will grow about one foot per year. At about 100,000 hairs per head, this would average well over 100,000 feet per year.

Answer 4

it's not possible to change the rate of hair growth. that's a genetic thing. sorry dude. the only thing you can do is keep it conditioned so it stays long once it gets to a length you like and doesnt break off.
