Sometimes genes affect how long it takes for your hair to grow. But you can keep it healthy and do hair masks, washing your hair ATLEAST 2-3 times a week depending on your hair type, don't brush your hair when is wet unless your using a wide tooth comb, massaging the roots, this can all help your hair! Furthermore providing better results. Hope I helped beauty xx

Hair growth depends on genetics & the health of you & your hair. there are no miracle products or methods. just keep your hair healthy to promote growth.
some tips are;
get trims as needed
use as little heat as possible. always use a heat protectant. eat healthy. drink a lot of water. use hair masks & deep conditioners. also leave in conditioners. coconut oil, olive oil, & castor oil are all good for your hair.

You can do as much as you can to simulate hair growth. Unfortunately there is no such thing as growing your hair faster. But by keeping your hair healthy through TLC, it will grow as fast as it can!
Genetics do play a major role here, your hair is meant to grow up to a certain length before falling off ( like how some people have shorter lashes than others)... So if super long hair doesn't run in the family, don't get so bummed out if your hair stays at a certain length!
To help you out here.. Two common answers on BL have been to use Mane n' Tail and Biotin. You should avoid these, however...
Mane n' tail shampoo/conditioner is not PH balanced for human hair or scalp, over time it begins to dry out your hair and make it brittle ( Scientifically, and speaking from personal experience with this one. )
The reason people claim Mane n' tail makes your hair grow is because of the heavy amount of wax in it. The wax present in Mane N' tail simply weighs down your hair and this wax can actually cause flakes. The wax in Mane n' tail is the reason for dullness, and dryness that it can cause. The wax builds up on your hair and overtime causes that side effect. In other words, Mane n Tail is as effective as lard.
Do NOT Take Biotin, especially without consulting a doctor. Biotin is initially meant for those who have a biotin deficiency or a related illness. Taking biotin is not needed as you get enough from your own intake of food.
Biotin can also yield nasty side effects, many girls ( some on here ) failed to yield the warning and ended up with high fever, vomiting throughout the day, mild to severe acne.. some as odd as getting acne on your legs. Biotin is also NOT approved by the FDA. There are foods that contain Biotin already ( Peanut butter is a good example. ) It is better to look up foods rich in Biotin. And believe it or not, you can make your own Biotin rich smoothie.( A yummy smoothie just for hair growth and no side effects vs a pill not approved by our own sketchy government is enough say for me at least. )
Now - time for hair growth tips!
Following a healthy diet is essential for hair growth. Take proteins into consideration, such as keratin which makes up most of your hair.
Your body needs to produce more amino acids to increase hair growth. Proteins can come from eggs, nuts, beans, fish, etc.
Check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any deficiencies. Iron and zinc play a big component in hair growth as well as nail growth. Cereal, breads, pastas, have a healthy level of iron and zinc.
Make sure you take enough vitamin C as well ( Lack of such vitamin can cause dry, dull, and weakened hair... Citrus fruits, strawberries, guava, broccoli, kale, peppers, etc.have a good amount of Vitamin C. )
Consume healthy fats such as unsaturated fats and fatty acids such as omega-3's. Fats are indispensable to hair growth.
Exercising, scalp massages, and avoiding stress. Exercising allows blood to flow to your head, and massaging your hair stimulates new hair growth ( for at least 5 minutes when you wash your hair or apply a product, massage your scalp. )
Stress causes hair to fall out so avoid stress if you can.
Hair masks and treatments are a must. Stick to treatments involving Coconut oil. Coconut Oil stimulates hair growth because it penetrates deep into your hair follicles ( and is considered protein. )
Oils work great for hair, for maximum benefits heat them up indirectly. ( Heat up a cup of water in your microwave for two minutes, and in a separate enclosed container with your hair masks, place it in the cup of water to heat it indirectly. )
Avoid heat if you can.
You don't need to get a haircut every x number of months, that just causes it to stay at the same length.
Get a cut if you really need to ( dead ends, split ends, etc ), cutting hair won't just randomly make it grow twice as fast.
You can wash your hair everyday, it's shampooing you want to stray from because it's very stripping due to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Shampoo your scalp ONLY or look for a shampoo that is free of SLS.
Don't rinse out all of your conditioner. This helps immensely and when you wash your hair again it will be de-tangled. Stick to moisturizing your hair 100%.
Try to brush your hair outside of the shower with a wide tooth comb or a 'wet' brush, be very gentle there is no need to tug on your hair. Adding products like a leave in conditioner can help detangle your hair.
If you have any questions - feel free to contact me. I have grown out my hair following all of the above!

Honestly I've heard the shampoo and conditioner pack called Mane and Tail my cousin had it not only did it make her hair longer it made it thicker but it may work differently for different people it worked for me for a while and the only reason I switched to something else was because I colored my hair and am currently using something for color treated hair but the only down fall is it makes all the hair on your body thicker and grow longer fast you probably won't look like a werewolf but you'll be pretty hairy lol hope I helped.

Castor oil in hair 3 times a week , wear it in your hair over night and wash it out in the morning.

Mane n tail doesn't make it longer or thicker. it gives the illusion because it's coating your hair with wax & weighing it down.

Make sure to get your hair cut if it begins to get dead ends (every 2-3 months or so unless your hair is perfectly healthy then you can skip cutting your hair)
Don't use heat
Keep it healthy and moisturizers I use Argan hair oil (I used to use Morrocan oil but I just decided to switch)
Use shampoo that it sulfate free
Don't wash your hair too much
Don't wear your hair up to much ( because it causes breakage and can thin out the hair)
Use a tangle teaser or a wet brush or a wide tooth comb ( so if you get knots your not ripping out your hair which causes breakage and split ends)
But other than that hair growth is based on genetics which I know kinda sucks because I'm also stuck with the slow hair growing gene lol but just keep it healthy and get the dead ends cut every so often so it can grow healthy
Hope I helped:)
