ygsgrl is right. Your hair grows from the roots. Hair, once it grows beyond the folicle, is dead tissue, like your fingernails. Nothing can "revive" your hair, except in a figurative sense. Cutting off the split ends keeps the ends from splitting futher up and the hair from breaking off, so it may appear that a hair trim helps your hair grow. It really just prevents damage. To help your hair grow, just be sure to get plenty of protein in your diet, since your hair is made out of proteins. Get enough rest, because sleep is when your body regenerates damaged cells and when growth happens.
Good luck.

Additional Info: In the rating you asked for further info. Think of it this way. When you trim 1/4 inch off your hair, it keeps the split ends trimmed off. If you let the split ends stay, the split can spread up the shaft of the hair, due to dryness and heat damage. Then the split can go, say 3/4 of an inch up the hair, causing it to break off. In that case, trimming 1/4 inch of your hair saves another 1/2 inch of damage from occurring. The net result is that healthy hair, properly trimmed and undamaged hair, seems to grow faster because it's not breaking off. Does that make sense? Hope I helped.

Answer Edit:
If you want to grow your hair long, you might as well keep it at its healthiest. I would suggest getting it trimmed, but you don't have to do it every 5-6 weeks. I'm trying to grow mine long, and I only go when I notice a split end. I'm due for a trim, and my last one was in July.
You can prolong the time between trims by washing your hair every other day, and conditioning everyday. Shampoo dries hair quite a bit, even if it is a conditioning shampoo.
I always leave conditioner in my hair for at least 2 minutes before rinsing, even if the brand doesn't require it.
Follow that up with a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Something like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, V05 Hot Oil Treatment, or whatever you like to use best.
This works on mine, and my hair is dry and damaged due to chemical processing.
Uh... funny website...
Hair grows from the roots in the scalp. Trimming keeps your hair from splitting and breaking and eventually getting shorter.
I've never heard of such a thing as your hair stops growing at the split ends. It sounds ridiculous to me. Makes me wonder what they are trying to sell...
Nothing makes it grow faster, either. Human hair, on average, grows 1/4" per month.
