i used to blow dry & straighten my hair everyday, so the ends of my hair got to be pretty bad. but now i wear my hair curly everyday, and i use mousse and hair spray in it & then blow dry it some. i'm also trying to grow my hair out, so i havent gotten it cut in a while. what are some tips to make my hair healthier and grow faster?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
The majority of hair products on the market are terrible for your hair. No matter what the company tries to tell you, the majority of hair products strip your hair of its natural protective oils.
Most "cheap" shampoos for instance, the ones at the local grocery/beauty store, are silicon based.
If you want HEALTHY hair, back away from any heat-styling product (there's no "safe" way of frying your hair.) Don't use mousse or hair spray often, or at all preferably, and get your hair trimmed.
Yes, this means you'll need to lose an inch (or more) in order for your hair to grow properly. It won't actually "grow" if you never get it trimmed. What will happen though, is that you'll develop "split ends" that can split all the way up to the hair shaft. The longer you wait to get your hair trimmed, the chances of having to get inches of it chopped off increase. You're damaging your hair by not getting it cut.
I'd advise you to go to a local salon (normally they accept walk-ins) so you won't need an appointment, and ask them about their specialty shampoos. They carry the best when it comes to hair treatment and they'd be able to pin point the exact type of shampoo and conditioner you'd need for the quality of your hair. They can also offer you tips on how to take care of it.
