    Annabelle and Breanne are both doing the right things. A messy bun or any type of bun is a really good hairstyle choice. If you want to avoid breakage, 9/10 times wear a hairstyle that protects your ends.

    I wash my hair once to twice a week. The amount of times you wash your hair is fine, but don't wash it anymore times than that.

    It's really good that you drink only water and that you eat healthy! That definitely is going to help you grow your hair. But, is your diet rich in protein? Protein is really helpful in growing hair. That doesn't mean only eat protein, because that will backfire.

    I use a lot of food in my hair. And I mean food like coconut and eggs. That's really all I use is different fruits and home remedies off of different websites.

    Also I've heard that people use silica supplements and msm. Bamboo silica works the best out of all the silica supplements. I don't really know anything about msm. Bamboo silica DOES work and it gives your skin a really nice glow and grows and strengthen your nails and eyelashes. And I haven't heard of anything life threatening or negatively altering about them. It just that if you have type 4 hair, bamboo silica is known to make your hair come out naturally straighter permanently. Meaning you go from 4 hair to like 3 c or b. you can find reviews and testimonials of bamboo silica online. YouTube is definitely where you should be going.

    At night I wrap or braid my hair into big braids then wrap. So far this all has been working for me. Hopefully I helped! If you have any questions ill be happy to answer!

    My hair has grown 3 inches in 9 months :O

    I think it's mostly genetics but ill tell u what I do.

    1. I wash my hair ONCE a week. If you need to go out and want the illusion of clean hair, buy a dry shampoo or use baby powder.

    2. Take biotin. U can find it at dollar store. Drink plenty water with it because it is a water soluble and if u don't u will break out.

    3. Monistat. Crazy but works! Just apply to scalp overnight.

    I straighten my hair once a week only.

    Source(s): Edit - the other answers are right :) I constantly have my hair up in a loose bun and only take it down and brush it once a day.

    Make sure to drink lots of water and try to stay away from hot tools on hair (Straightener, Curler, Crimping, etc..)

    And if you are trying to grow out your hair (This might sound weird) but taking Cod Liver Oil pills daily help hair growth and add a nice shine to your hair :)

    (P.S. I had my hair at my shoulders 2 years ago and its now all the way down my back)

    i personally have 3 1/2 foot hair. i have trimmed it twice in my life and i just turned 13. I shampoo and condition my hair almost everyday, a tip i would have for you is try to use horse shampoo.. it helps alot with growing out your hair. also try not to color your hair, straighten, blow dry, or curl. it slows the process down with growing your hair out very much. but the main thing i would have to say is try to make sure you are treating your hair well. here is what i do with MY hair personally.. i shampoo and condition, i let it air dry, i eat regular, and i dont staighten or do much ever with my hair. hope this helped. :) <3

    -the most important thing for good hair is good health so eat healthy ( make sure you don't have any vitamin or any kind of deficiency because that can hinder hair growth

    -message your head because it stimulates blood flow

    -use natural conditioners like olive oil because oils prevent breakage, make hair soft and shiny

    -don't use too many styling products

    - vitamin A, E, B complex and Folic acid are important for hair growth

    GOOD LUCK
