------Long Hair------?

I cut six inches off my hair in september 07 to get rid of damage. it is currently slightly longer than shoulder length. I have been trying to get it to grow but it has grown about 1 inch (literally) since i got it cut. I get regular trims to keep off split and/or dead ends.

Any other tips on what i can do to help it grow?

    Well there's a couple of ways to make it better and healthier. The healthier it is the faster it grows and the better it looks.

    You could go to a salon and ask if they do hair treatments. Hair treatments is when they put a steam machine over your hair for 15minutes, then they wash your hair and brush it out. When they brush it out if it very important they brush from the root not only the ends. then they massage your scalp with there fingers not there nails.

    You could go to the salon to do that or just do that yourself without the steam.

    Another way is when ever you get spilt ends you trim them. When you get split ends it makes your hair stop growing, by trimming them it makes it grow stronger.

    You could also cut done on using straighters, curling irons, blow dryers, these damage your hair anything with heat involved damages your hair which makes split ends.

    Also when you finish washing your hair i know this might feel a little cold but your last rinse let it be with cold water.

    Another thing when people brush there hair they never brush from the root you should always brush your hair from the root this way it spreads the natural oils and makes the hair more healthier.

    You might hear of certain hair products that make your hair grow faster, but i wouldn't suggest them they just end up damaging your hair in the long run and even could cause hair lost. I advice not to use them.

    You could also buy treatments that help make you hair stronger with less split ends from a pharmacy they could help a bit too.

    Depending on the person some peoples hair grows faster then others. Just remember the more you damage it the less it grows... The average person's hair grows 1inch/permonth

    Good luck with growing your hair, Wish you all the best.

    drink lots of water, and take a multi-vitamin. Keep getting it trimmed too, this keeps the split ends from getting worse, and breaking, which can lead to damaged and unhealthy looking hair.

    Heyy,

    Good that you trim it regualary, that helps it to grow.

    If you wanted to make it look longer you could always straighten it.
