There is NOTHING that you can do to make it grow faster than it does.

Your hair can't be made to grow faster, Ive had fairly long hair all my life its 26inches now from crown to bottom, and its not grown much in the last 3-4 years.

Hair on average grows about half an inch every six weeks. Diet may help it grow also washing it every 2nd day not every day that will strip out the natural oils, also use conditioner, don't use any heated tongs or straighteners they cause split ends or can, have it trimmed regular, this could help but unless you get some hair extensions and they're a lot of money, then you have little hope of it growing more than half an inch in 3 weeks at the very most.

Don't let that put you off though once it goes beyond shoulder length it seems to get really long really fast, and once its long its long. Im pleased you want to grow your hair, long hair looks lovely on young girls or even not so young ones and you'll be able to wear it up or down. So keep at it its well worth it.

Also always comb or brush it when still wet from the ends up, doing it the other way is more likely to rip the hair or break it, just gently, also don't use a plastic brush, try to find a natural firm fibre bristle type brush. Brushing it a lot doesn't help it grow either its likely to weaken the hair, just brush it 2 or 3 times a day, when longer and whilst its short, twice a day is plenty. Let it dry naturally too if possible. Also wash it twice, once to clean it once for the shine, and condition it too. If you can get pantene shampoos where you are they're good, and reasonably priced also never use the all in one shampoo and conditioner they coat the hair with polymers which prevents growth. Use separates.

Also every 6 -8 weeks give it a hot wax treatment it feeds the hair folicules, and aids growth, not by much but a little plus after hot oiling it your hair will feel like silk, its great stuff. Good luck. You'll get the hot oil in a supermarket or hair care salon.
