The easiest way to make your hair grow is to keep it healthy. Don't mistake me, the rate at which your hair grows is determined by genetics, and nothing you can do will make your hair grow faster than it naturally would at its healthiest.

First, trim any split ends. If you don't, they will keep splitting up the shaft and ruin even more of your hair. That means that when you do finally cut your hair, you'll have to cut off even more of it to get rid of the splits

Second, invest in a sulfate and sodium chloride free shampoo and conditioner (I like the L'oreal EverStrong, as well as Pureology, because my hair is constantly died and Pureology is great for maintaining that. Occasionally, I use the Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo, which is neither sulfate free nor for dyed hair, but it makes my hair feel SO clean, and that's not the worst thing once in a while), and a hair mask or deep conditioner (I like Macadamia Deep Repair Masque and the L'oreal Power Moisture Mask). In the shower, wash your hair first thing, shampoo only the roots and condition from your ears down. After that, apply your mask, focusing on the ends of your hair. Finger comb until you don't feel any knots, and then put your hair in a bun. Leave it that way for the rest of your shower, washing it out should be the last thing you do. I wash my hair around 3 times a week (with dry hair I can get away with it) and do the hair mask every time. If you need to wash your hair more than that, reduce your hair mask usage to 3 times :) make sure you're finger combing your hair in the shower so that you don't have to brush it, because brushing it can break it off like heck.

Third, in terms of heat protectors, I like the Tressemme and It's a 10 Leave in Plus Keratin. However, I advise you to cut out heat styling as much as possible (It's not the worst thing as long as you take care of your hair, so if you can't I wouldn't worry).

That's my hair routine, my entire head is bleached and it is just as healthy as it was before I dyed it.

Thank you, Maria. Kitty has a much more in depth explanation involving foods you should eat and how to keep your hair healthy that way as well, but I've never been that worried about it :) you can certainly ask her if you'd like to know more about how your health relates to the health of your hair.

Never take vitamins or supplements without consulting your doctor. If you don't have a deficiency (which if you eat an adequate diet you generally shouldn't) you can overdose and cause nasty side effects. Some supplements interfere or interact with prescription medications. At best, you are paying money for something your body doesn't need (resulting in expensive, vitamin-enriched pee).

Hannah pretty much covered everything you can do when it comes to hair. Keeping it healthy and preventing breakage is the best thing you can do.

Try olive oil:) Warm it up and apply it to your roots and wait for it to cool and then wash it out.
