Here are some ways you can grow your hair:
From the inside:
-Drink lots of water! Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day.
-Get lots of protein!
-Eat healthy!
-Eat all foods with necessary vitamins that help with hair growth. Mainly vitamin C, A, E, & B.
-Take vitamin supplements that help with hair growth. Ask for permission if you're a minor and make sure you have your doctor's approval. I recommend Biotin!
-Exercise regularly.
-Get a reasonable amount of sleep. 8 hours is a reasonable amount of sleep.
-Don't stress yourself out too much.
-Let it grow naturally.
From the outside:
-Shampoo and condition regularly. Wash hair depending on your hair type. I'm not sure how often you should wash your hair. It's all up to you and it depends on your hair type. Do NOT wash hair everyday because this can strip hair of natural and necessary oils that it needs and will become dry once stripped of oils. Then, your hair will be forced to become oily if not washed every day. So, don't get on the habit of washing every day. If you already do, try a new washing routine! TRY MANE N TAIL SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER! Works so well for hair growth.
-Deep condition with a deep conditioner/hair mask. Deep conditioning is very important for your hair because it hydrates and moisturizes your hair. It also makes it shinier. You can buy one at a store of simply make one at home.
-Trim your hair, but not too often. Don't listen to what others say about trimming hair every 6-8 weeks. You should only trim your hair when you NEED to such as when you have split ends. When you have split ends, you should immediately get split ends trimmed so they won't rise higher. The more split ends you have, the more hair you'll have to get cut off. So, take care of your hair and get split ends trimmed whenever needed. Do not get hair trimmed to often, though, because you need to let it grow. If you keep cutting it, it will not grow, you won't see any results, and it'll stay the same as it was before.
-Don't use too much heat on your hair. If you do use too much heat on hair, it can cause dry, damaged, unhealthy hair and slow down hair growth. Try no heat hairstyles instead. When you DO use heat on your hair, make sure you always use a heat protectant to protect your hair from the heat.
-Rinse hair with cool or lukewarm water, but NOT hot water.
-After washing, comb out with a wide tooth comb instead of brush to prevent tangles and knots that will lead to breakage of hair.
-Comb hair starting from the bottom and work your way up to the top to prevent tangles and knots that will lead to breakage of hair.
-Massage head/scalp every day.
-Do not perm/relax hair. This can cause breakage of hair and stunt or slow down hair growth. Leave hair natural.
-Do not dye hair as often. It's okay to dye hair sometimes, just not too often because this can also cause breakage and stunt or slow down hair growth.
Hair products that help with hair growth:
-Hair fertilizer: You NEED to try hair fertilizer. This will help your hair grow super fast and it actually works, trust me! Hair fertilizer is basically a root stimulator that helps hair growth, that's why it's called hair fertilizer because it fertilizes your hair and makes hair grow from the roots. You can also try their hair serum or hair balm.
-Coconut oil: Coconut oil works wonders for your hair. It makes your hair super healthy and contributes to hair growth. Trust me, coconut oil is very good for your hair. Coconut oil works for a number of things. You can use coconut oil as a hair mask. Coconut is very good for your hair, and even skin. It's good for your body overall, and you can use it for a great amount of reasons.
-Mane 'N Tail shampoo and conditioner: This has to be the #1 shampoo and conditioner that will help with hair growth. I've never seen a shampoo or conditioner make hair grow except for this shampoo and conditioner. This has been talked about for decades on how it makes your hair grows and mainly everyone loves it. Some people say that it doesn't work, but I'm guessing it's different for everybody. BUT, the percentage of people who say it does work for hair growth outweighs the number of people who say it doesn't work. From personal experience, it has made a difference in my hair and has made my hair grow. Not only does it make my hair grow, BUT I also notice a difference in the health of my hair. It also makes my hair super shiny and soft in texture. You must try this! This shampoo and conditioner was made for horses, that's where it gets its name from, BUT humans use it more than horses do. This is also made for humans and can be used on humans, that's why on the back of the bottle, it gives directions for human use. You can find this at a drugstore like Walgreens, Walmart, etc and it'll usually be in the hair aisle, but if not, check in the animal aisle where the dog stuff is.
You can also try the inversion method: I did this only once and it did work. The inversion method is supposed to make you grow an inch in one week. This is what you do: Choose an oil of your choice. Olive oil is recommended. You can use castor oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, etc. You can even mix them all up together. You can heat the oils up if you want, but if you don't you don't have to. Massage the oil in your scalp. Then, bend over and invert your head over for 4 minutes and no more. You do the same thing for 7 days a week to grow an inch. Now, do NOT do this more this more than once a month. Don't do more than 7 days because if you keep doing it, your body will get used to it and wont work anymore. The maximum is once a month, you can do it the next month but I suggest waiting a couple of months to get best results! READDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: Before you do this, you have to know that it can be dangerous if you have certain health problems. Google the inversion method and see the health problems that you can't do the inversion method with. If you have any of these health problems, do not do the inversion method. Also, ask for permission from parents/legal guardians before doing. You may want to have someone sitting with you just in case you get a little dizzy. Rise up from the invert very slowly, don't move fast or else you'll feel super dizzy! The inversion method is supposed to raise blood flow to your head and increase scalp circulation if massaging. It's a shock to your body because your body is not used to be reversed for that long so that's what makes it grow. For further assistance, look up inversion method on youtube and google!
Hope this helps you!

Lots of people swear by head massages, so either when shampooing and/or conditioning your hair massage your scalp, or even during the day if you aren't afraid of messing your hair up! Another way is using a caffeine shampoo, I think alpecin or something does them? They're supposed to stimulate your hair follicles to increase growth, good luck :)
