So, I got my hair cut a lot shorter than it has been in a long time, and now I want it to grow back out. I am a 19/M, not sure if that really changes anything. I have biotin pills, but is there anything else that I can do to help my hair to grow more quickly? I am also going to start brushing/combing my hair more to see if that helps any. I am desperate for it to grow back out! I miss my long hair so much. Thanks in advance!

I followed the link given by YoungMommy and read the steps.
I think, for the most part, the steps tell you everything you should do according the current Society's Standards.
My grandmother was 2/3 Indian and she had the longest, thickest, healthiest, fastest growing hair and nails. I only see hair like hers in women who keep their hair braided constantly, and almost NEVER use any Shampoo, Soaps, or Conditioners. They wash their hair with plain water, since most shampoos strip your hair of the natural oil BUILD-UP that is essential to protect your hair and prevent damage.
Using chemicals in your hair is a nasty way to care for it. So when I see you getting advice that tells you to use shampoos and conditioners, or pills to get your hair to grow, I want to scream "MISINFORMATION!"
Believe it or not, even brushing your hair will damage it, always use medium tooth combs and never comb it when it is wet.
Once you have not used shampoos or conditioners on your hair for about 3 weeks, you will start noticing your hair getting healthier. Also, your diet will affect how fast your hair grows. Massaging the scalp helps too.
Use food to help your hair grow faster. Eat foods that are medicine for the body.
Everyone is different. What helps my hair grow, may keep yours from growing. Pills are not the answer, but part of the problem. Depending on your genetic background, those hair pills are probably doing damage to your system, and possibly slowing hair growth. Everyone is different.

So I was looking up information on hair growth and how to make your hair grow faster when I clicked on a link that had a video. I am hard of hearing so I have the speakers turned up quite loud on my computer most things I can barely hear on this thing, so anyway the speakers are up loud and this video comes on and very loudly (and almost like the girl is trying to be seductive about it) "Do you want it longer, stronger, and thincker than ever?! Try these easy steps and you will be very satisfied with your results!" Everyone in my house quickly turns and gives me this look like "oh my gosh you pervert!" haha...ok just thought I would share that with you I found it to be quite funny after I got over the explaining it was just an ad for hair growth :)
anyway to the point now :) As I said I did a little research for you and I found some information that may help :)
I also found out that vitamins A,B,C AND E are great for hair growth so take you vitamins :)
Dead ends not good slows down your hair growth
keep your hair clean and be gentle with it... dont pull on it or pull it back too tight... and when you condition make sure you massage it into your scalp apparently this helps with hair growth as well good luck [ YoungMommy's advice column | Ask YoungMommy A Question ]

You can get it at walmart for sure , I'm not sure about other places. [ cheryl_diamond's advice column | Ask cheryl_diamond A Question ]
