How to Get Your Hair to Be Long and Healthy
Do you want nice long hair? Here's how to get it. Follow these simple steps and your hair will be long and healthy in no time.
1. Take vitamins! Multivitamins are good! (But only if you can't eat a healthy, varied diet - if you can, this makes the need for vitamin pills obsolete.)
2. Eat healthily and drink lots of water. Make sure your diet includes plenty of protein and essential fatty acids, as these really help your hair stay in excellent condition. You can find these in nuts, seeds and oily fish.
3. When you shower, use shampoo and massage your scalp.
4. When you use conditioner, make sure it stays in for a good 2-3 minutes.
5. Go get your hair trimmed every couple months. This will not make it grow faster, but will ensure that the hair ends stay healthy and prevents split-ends.
6. Brush your hair gently. Don't pull! Work any knots out with your fingers. Also, pick your hair brush wisely. Pick one where the end of the bristles do not look or feel scratchy.
7. Treat your hair to hot oil treatments or masks weekly- if on a tight budget, simply heat a bit of olive oil on the stove (never in a microwave) and massage into hair and scalp. Leave on for at least 10 minutes, then rinse, shampoo, and condition hair.
8. Try buying some products like Garnier Fructis Length & Strength. Its specialy made for split ends, or hard to grow long hair.
Tips
* Try not to wash your hair every single day; it's bad for you because your hair has natural oils that you shouldn't get rid of. Wash every third day, or second day if you need to (depending on your hair type). Remember, less is best!
* If you have really dry hair, try conditioning before you shampoo as well as afterwards.
Warnings
* Fat free diets or diets containing nearly all fruit and vegetables are not the way to go if you want healthy, shiny hair. They sound healthy and do have their benefits but your hair needs proteins and EFAs in order to look good.
* Do not use too much shampoo- it will dry your hair out.
* If you have fine hair, using too much conditioner or too rich a conditioner will cause it to lose volume. Pick a conditioner for your hair type for the best results.
Good luck!!!

Just be patient---hair grows an average of 1/2 - 3/4 inches per month, so there's nothing you can do to dramatically speed up hair growth. Just take good care of your hair by limiting your use of heat styling tools like hair dryers and curling irons and also limit your use of hair products, which will ensure that your hair remains healthy and looks good as it grows out.
If you're patient, your hair will be 6-8 inches longer in about 1 year.

the only way to get longer hair without extensions is to grow it out. it takes a while, but it's the most natural and healthiest way to do it. go in for a trim every 5 weeks to keep it fresh. it will help it to grow faster.

i have that same problem. i got a bag haircut now my hair is short. my hair used to be so long. You should get proffesional hair extensions done until your hair grows longer. (:
That is thee only way. unless, you want to wait like me until your hair grows.

Waiting is really the only way.
And extensions won't look weird if you do them right. And usually, they last more than a day.

just let it grow and have it trim like every three months to cut off any split ends and dry hairs.
I let my hair grow out last year and I always used it shoulder length and my hair is now down to my waist.
I have straight hair.
Just let it grow.
