there are certain pills and things you can use for your hair that claim to make it grow longer, but ive never tried it before. i suggest you do some research or talk to someone at a sally's beauty supply and see what options best for you.
to help the damage to your hair, start by tryin to cut as much of the damage off as you can. i know you want to grow it long but this can help you get sort of a fresh start. if you dont want to cut off a lot, just try to get as much of the damaged ends as you can. then, try to just moisturize it as best as you can. they have certain creams you can buy that you let sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes, like aussie 3 minute miracle. also, i was in the same boat you were in so i used the dove intense damage therapy and i like it a lot ! stay away from straighteners but if thats a necessity in your life, put the heat on a lower settin and try to get a spray or serum that you put in your hair to protect it.

Hair growth rate is largely determined by genes. However, staying healthy will help ensure that your hair grows to its full potential. Make sure you get enough protein and vitamins.
Not dyeing your hair helps a lot. Using the kind of shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair's condition will be enough. The ones that are made for dry hair generally work well. The brand doesn't matter. Pick one that you like. [ The_MoUsY_spell_checker's advice column | Ask The_MoUsY_spell_checker A Question ]

What trimming your hair does is get rid of split and damaged ends and keep it healthy. Split ends are the result of damage from styling products, heated styling tools and pollution; left alone this split in the hair shaft will travel higher and higher up the hair shaft, the hair will split higher and higher up until you get around to having it trimmed off.
