Okay its going to sound kinda gross lol but it makes your hair shiny,smooth and helps with growth but very little. Nothing will really make your hair grow its just how you take care of your body. drink lots of water!!

Take 2Tbsp of mayo
1Tbsp if olive oil
1 egg
*coconut oil and mix then rub your scalp with it for 5-10 min...
Then wrap your hair with a plastic bag for like 20 min.

I don't know if it works but you could try 1. Massage aloe Vera into your scalp
2. Let it sit for 1 hour
3. Rinse out

Hot oil treatments with coconut or olive oil, not using shampoo as much/ not washing your hair as much in general, using a satin cap or pillow while you sleep (prevents breakage), and not using heat everyday (ex. Only on weekends but with heat protected like Tresemme's heat tamer) Hope I helped :)

Oops sorry 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
Half and avacodo
A small amour of aloe Vera gel
And one egg
Mix it together and leave in for a few hours and if you do it once a week your hair should start growing and it will look healthier

Eat eggs and poultry for protein, your hair is protein so it requires it to grow. Drink plenty of water to hydrate and eat plenty almonds, fish and dark green vegetables. Biotin also helps, and check your iron intake too. And make sure to maintain the health and moisture of your hair using hydrating hair masks, like the Moroccan argan oil hair mask from Pro Naturals, that’s what helped me a lot.

You cannot make your hair grow faster. Nor are there any products to make your hair grow faster.
To begin with, you want to STIMULATE hair growth and encourage the strength of your hair.
Genetics 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.
Avoid Mane n' tail shampoo/conditioner... it's not PH balanced for human hair or scalp, so it will simply dry out your hair and make it brittle ( Scientifically, and speaking from personal experience with this one. ) And like I said, it's been proven that you cannot make your hair grow faster unless you modify genetics.

Do not Take Biotin ( I say it because it's a common answer on BL ), 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, some as bizarre as getting acne on your legs. Plus, it is not approved by the FDA.

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 cut 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 ), cutting hair won't just randomly make it grow.
You can wash your hair everyday, it's shampooing you want to stray from because it's very stripping. Shampoo your scalp ONLY.
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.

If you have any questions - feel free to contact me. I am in the process of growing out my hair and the above has really helped me. I have a few in progress photos on my profile if you'd like to check them out.
Good luck with your hair!
