1- make sure you use shampoo and conditioner for your hair type- if its dry use on for dry hair, if its oily, use one for oily hiar..... dont mix like a voumizing shampoo with a thickening conditioner.. use the same "type" of shampoo and conditioner. However they dont have to be the same brand. I use suave professionals shampoo -i like it better than most expensive brands. But i use usually dove conditioner... you just have to find what is right for your hair in general. Just because it is expensive does not mean it is better.
2- do hot oil treatment every couple weeks- try jojoba oil- it is very close to hairs natural oil
3- try not to over process or style your hair. Dont brush it more than you NEED to, dont dry it or heat style it very often, if you do, try to let your hair dry on its own and use a ceramic straightner/ curling iron. Use a hair serum when you use these too- helps seal in moisture
4- when your hair is wet- use a wide tooth comb and brush it startign from the bottom and work your way up- it helps to eliminate breakage
5- if you wear your hiar up a lot- use the bands with out the metal clasp and dont put your hair in the exact same pony tai areound on your head day to day so that the stress isnt on the same spot weakening your hair every time
6- take vitamins. Folic acid (vitamin b-6) is good for your hair and nails. Also you could try hair vitamins.. they sells them at gnc, sally beauty supply to name a couple.
7- find a hair treatment like a conditioning treatment that has keratin , panthenol, humectant. Keratin is naturally in hair and is a basis of your hair... helps with elasticity, panthenol is like vitamins for you hair.. same with humectant- it helps your hair absorb moisture.
8- you could try a scalp treatment. Sally bauty sells a product called nutrishock hair and scalp nutrient. It basically helps cleanse your hair follicle and open them up.. as well as promoting blood flow to your hair shaft with will stimulate it to grow
Another thing
IT is FALSE that cutting your hair makes it grow faster. Your hair grows from the root- once it hits your scalp it is dead protein.... it only seems to grow faster becasue when you dont cut your split ends off- they keep breaking and thus making your hair appear thin at the ends as well as not lengthening your hair.
If you are really dedicated and do the things to keep your hair healthy, you wont have to worry about a trim very often. My freind hasnt had a hair cut since last year and doesnt have hardly any split ends because she never does anything but washa nd dry her hair only on a very rare occasion does she heat style it or wear it up.

keep growing your hair out, it takes forever i know but it's worth it in the long run the only advice i can give you is everyso often get your hair trimmed to cut off split and dead ends and your hair will grow faster than if you don't cut off the split and dead ends

LET IT GROW, i have the same problem, my hair is like 8-9 inches long, and longer than some of the girls. and all my friends are like "dude, you look like a girl, cut it" but dude, its what sets you apart from the crowd, and it makes you an individual.

i have the same kind of hair as you do and it does grow out but it takes a lot of maintnence because the ends die easily try to save up money to get a weave, i tried one for 3 months and my hair grew 3 inches! If you do get a weave make sure who does it puts a net on your hair because if you've never had one they might pull your hair so try it you wont regret it, but they are expensive, they're worth it though!!!

Ok. Well, just let it grow. But in order to keep it healthy you need to do some stuff...
1. Don't let it get too much sun. It will get damaged.
2. Try avoiding styling with heat like blowdryers, straighteners, whatever.
3. Don't use garbage shampoo. Buy something professional for you're type of hair. You're trying to grow it, so maybe you should buy something that prevents breakage, split ends, and other damage.
4. Don't wash it every day. That takes all of the natural grease out of your hair and eventually dries it out. If your hair easily gets greasy, wash it every two days...if not, wash it once a week. (besides, if you get a good shampoo, you will only need to wash it once a week!) DO condition it everyday though to keep it moisturized and soft.
5. Don't dye it, highlight it, lowlight it, anything. No chemicals.
6. If you're hair starts growing out and you see lots of damage, get a trim (but a trim does NOT help it grow faster although that is a common misconception), and if the trim doesn't help, try a hot oil treatment or a cholesterol treatment. Also, put some leave in conditioner on it to keep it soft.
Hope that helps

The same thing happened to me. But the reason my hair was short was because my hair was damaged, so I ended up cutting my hair very short (ear length). My hair has grown alot. So if your hair is healthy make sure you give your hair TLC (tender love and care)
The thing that made my hair grow like crazy was a vitamin called
Ultra Nourishair by GNC .

you have to take 2x a day, mourning and night.
If you have any more questions email me.

A simple fast way is too get hair extensions. You can get clip in ones at sallys beauty supply store. Or you can pay more money and find a salon that does them.
