Answers:
Coconut oil- pretty cheap!!!!
Mint oil- From herbal store- alot more expensive but works a lot more!!!!! It's about $20 for a small bottle
Comb it or Tidy it up tightly 🙂 Braiding tightly will also do the trick 🙂
Trimming it makes it grow faster
Oil, trim it now and then, dont straighten or curl or nothing like that and Then it GROWS!
I wanted to grow my hair for ages and now I have. And do you know how I did it? I stopped cutting it. Seriously, if you look after your hair and make sure you use heat protective spray when you blow dry/ straighten it, you can go months without cutting it. DON'T LISTEN TO HAIRDRESSERS WHEN THEY SAY GET REGULAR TRIMS. Of course they would say that, it gets them more money. Stop cutting it for a while 🙂 I get mine trimmed about every 4-6 months.
NEVER take supplements without your doctor's OK.
If you're healthy, & very active, your nails are growing, your hair should be growing RIGHT NOW. My 4 years old grand daughter knows how to let her hair grow. It's almost down to her waist. If you want perfection, you NEED patience.Even anorexic models have long hairs, and they're not considered 'healthy'. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/articl
I was one, and had long hair when I weighed 85 lbs.
Babies can do that, by drinking their milk. . . . so can you, so can any of us without any help. From your: good genes, good hair care and all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, that's where you get all your vitamins & minerals for growing from head to toes. Shampoos are meant for cleaning the hair, not for growing.
If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.

NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.
Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .
Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. Hormonal changes can have a big effect on hair.
Watch the movie "Side Effects". Hair products are not made of glue to fix, prevent, reverse hair from getting damaged or hair loss, they are a trillion dollar business and they also do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss caused by heat & chemicals – hair's worst enemies.
