What is the best way to get your hair to grow longer?

Question

My younger brother is in a band and wants to get his hair to grow longer. Any advice on how to help it to grow quicker? Supplements, Vitamins, ect??

Answer 1

Stimulaton, which is pretty much combing and massaging your head

Answer 2

To grow his hair longer tell him to NOT stop cutting it, and to make sure he gets a 1-2 inch trim every once in a while or else he'll get split-ends and it'll look really bad. Also use shampoo and conditioner that hyrdrates the hair.

Answer 3

chuck you look so cool on the phone and smoking.
tell your brother that nothing can be applied to the hair to help it grow. hair is dead. hair receives nutrition from your blood flow. to increase blood flow, stimulate the scalp by brushing, massaging several times a day. also, he may want to take vitamins, a multivitamin will do. the blood will carry these nutrients to your hair root, feed it and hair will continue to grow. good luck.

Answer 4

If you regularly get a trim, it will keep the ends from splitting and it will grow faster and healthier. I also heard eating things with gelatin in them, for example Jello, will make your nails and hair grow faster.

Instructions
STEP 1: Dispel the notion that growing your hair out means never cutting it. You will still want to have your hair trimmed to keep it healthy and give it some shape. Spacing out your trims to once every two months or so is a good start. STEP 2: Decide on the style you eventually want. Let your stylist know what length or style you’re working towards. This way she can trim your hair in a way that can help you reach your goal as quickly as possible. STEP 3: Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Although your hair is dead once it grows out of your scalp, the root is a living part of your body. To ensure maximum growth, take care of yourself by eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep. STEP 4: Grow out all or most of your layers. Have the bottom of your hair cut while allowing the layers to “catch up.” This a great step towards longer hair. Try aiming for a blunt bob-type hairstyle first. It’s an easy first goal to achieve and will give your hair a style while it's growing out. STEP 5: Buy a good shampoo and conditioner for your hair. Since you won’t be cutting your hair as often, you’ll want to make sure you take very good care of it to avoid dryness and damage. If your hair gets dry, it may begin to split, which will rob you of the length you’ve been working so hard to obtain. STEP 6: Experiment with different looks. Your hair is going to go through many different lengths and styling possibilities on its road to your ultimate hair goal so go with it. Invest in hair accessories such as headbands to keep unruly bangs or side layers at bay and funky clips to add style to layers as they grow out. STEP 7: Fake it. If you’re getting frustrated that you’ll never get the length you want, try investing in some clip on hair extensions. Having “instant length” is a great way to keep you motivated and make your hair look great during the grow out process. Overall Tips & Warnings
Be careful about overdoing it with heated styling tools. Too much blow drying or use of flat irons or curling irons can damage hair, causing you to have to cut off more than the small trim you'd normally need.
A great color can be a super addition to your ever-changing looks, but be careful not to over do it. Too much coloring can severly damage your hair so opt for just getting your roots touched up or using a semi-permanent color for complete color changes.

eat enough protein foods and foods rich in calcium. also what I did when my hair grew really fast was to dunk it in a sink full of cool water every morning. (it also woke me up and I could stay away from caffeine)
