okay well i used to get a perm but i have stopped. I haven't had a perm in 6 months and my hair is nappy so i straighten it and wear it in micros and braids. In the 6 months it has grown but not enough for me. Can i do anything extra to get it to grow more. Or am i doing anything wrong now.

Relax, you probably still have permed hair on your head right?
If so the new growth, coming in will eventually break off the permed hair because it will be to weak to hold up to your natural head of hair.
On the real tip, your hair has growth stages it goes through. Don't worry everyone's hair does this. You might want to try an hot oil treatment and frequent deep conditoner until the hair shows signs of relief.

First, I have to ask, we are talking "perm' as in "relaxer" right?
If so..
When you relax your hair for years and then stop, your hair will naturally have a reaction as the relaxer is like a "drug" to your hair. Since it has been 6 months, you should be past the "withdrawls" stage.
Now, there is a line of products by Dr. Miracles that I know works great, they have a few different products you might want to look at. They are sold at most drug stores and beauty supply stores.
You can learn more about their products at this website/ http://www.drmiracles.com/
Hope that helps!

Knowing how to grow long hair is only a challenge without knowing how to properly care for our hair.
On average, hair grows 1 inch every two months and usually sheds 100 hairs per day. But the discarded hairs are quickly replaced with new growth.
Hair growth also varies with the seasons. Many do not know this but our hair actually grows faster in warm weather and sunshine! So, make sure you get lots of sun but don't forget to protect your hair and scalp.
If you are experiencing slow hair growth, it is important to note what you are eating daily along with your lifestyle choices.
A diet high in vital nutrients mainly beta carotene, iodine and protein are necessary for shiny healthy hair.
Iodine is necessary for the production of the thyroid hormone thyroxin. This hormone promotes hair growth. The foods that contain iodine are seafoods like cod, mussels, seaweed and haddock.
Beta Carotene is actually converted by the body into vitamin A which makes the hair strong. You can find it in green and yellow fruits and vegetables like green peppers and cantaloupes.
Protein can be found in foods like meat, eggs and nuts to name a few.
Whatever you do, cut back on the foods that slow down hair growth like candy, soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. What these food ingredients do is rob the body of nutrients that are necessary for hair growth. Nicotine in particular has been proven to destroy vitamin C - an essential vitamin for healthy hair and skin.
HAIR GROWTH TIP: Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. This is believed to increase hair growth :)

Massaging your roots (like while shampooing and conditioning) will help your roots become active and start speeding up the process of growing. Its not significant in all people but it does help. You also might want to keep you hair in a braid at night when your sleeping to lessen the damage that may occur with the slight nugging that may occur.

The rate of your hair growth has nothing to do with what you use in your hair or what you are doing. It all has to do with genetics. You just have to continue to braid it ensure that the braids are not too tight or pulling on the hair roots. just keep on treating with the best of care you can. and ensure sure to treat it at least every two weeks to prevent the relaxed section from breaking.

Try eating more food that has protein and drink lots of water. The protein helps your hair and nails grow.
