You can take vitamins. Fish oil works well for your hair and nails (and heart, too). Visit any GNC, drug store or like Walmart or Target and talk to the pharmacist.

Technically, you can’t make your hair grow any faster than it wants to.
But the best thing you can do is not wash your hair everyday to maintain the oils necessary for hair growth. Take vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin A.
Also, check your daily diet to make sure its healthy and encouraging your health. The healthier your body, the healthier and thicker your hair will be.
Good luck

I MAY SAY THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME IN THIS ANSWER!!!!!!!!!
Assess the current condition of your hair. Is it healthy, shiny and smooth, or has it been damaged from heat, sun, coloring, etc? You don’t want to grow out hair that is damaged and scraggly. If you suffer from split, thin, and dry ends, seriously consider getting a trim to remove as much of the damage as possible. Split ends will not slow down growth, as your hair grows from the scalp, but getting rid of them will make your hair more neat and attractive.
Look at your overall health and your lifestyle. How is your diet? Do you exercise and sleep enough? Are you under a large amount of stress? If your body is lacking in health, your hair will be lacking as well. Your hair growth rate will be at its maximum when you are at your healthiest.
Make some dietary changes. Hair consists of protein (because hair is keretinized protein) so be sure that you are getting enough. Incorporate foods from all food groups – especially protein. Nuts, poultry, vegetables, fruits, grains, eggs, etc. all contribute to hair health. Bacon is a hair superfood because of the B-Complex vitamins and protein, but frequent consumption is not recommended because it can add to your waist line.
Consider taking a daily vitamin supplement. There are many options on the market nowadays. Research the multi-vitamins which may work best for you. Other vitamins and minerals that are believed to contribute to hair growth are: biotin, beta-carotene, biosil, b complexes, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, silica, nettle, and flaxseed oil.
A good hair vitamin will contain all of the nutrients necessary for overall health, as well as those specific to hair growth. Biotin and MSM are ingredients every hair vitamin should contain. Biotin promotes cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. MSM lengthens the hair growth phase. Using a combination of the two is beneficial for healthy hair. Using an amino acid supplement is not necessary for growing longer hair. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Thy are found in foods of animal origin, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Most Americans eat more than enough protein for to supply these amino acids. Only strict vegetarians need to be concerned with their protein intake. So one may assume that using an amino acid supplement can only make hair grow faster.[1]
Stimulate blood flow to your scalp. One of the two main ways is by doing cardio. There are many benefits to cardio – staying fit, being healthier, glowing skin, and increased blood flow, which can get rid of strange hues that some people get on their legs and increase hair growth. The other main way of stimulating blood flow is by massaging your scalp. Take the tips of your fingers and message your scalp all over, for about 5 minutes.
Do not over brush your hair and NEVER use a bristled brush, as this will tear and damage your hair. Not to mention it doesn’t feel very nice. (Boar bristled brushes, however, are in fact good for your hair as they “maintain good hair condition by keeping it clean, stimulating the scalp and distributing oils for a healthy, glossy look, without ever damaging it or causing split ends.”
Do not brush your hair when it is wet. Wet hair is very elastic and prone to breakage. De-tangle your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb.
Do not over wash your hair. The oils that your scalp produces can be beneficial to the health of your hair. If you wash your hair every day, consider skipping a day or only using conditioner one day instead of both shampoo and conditioner. Shampooing everyday may be necessary for oily hair, but normal hair can get by with shampooing about 2-4 times a week, and dry hair is best when you shampoo about 1-2 a week. Curly hair (types 3A-4C) can be shampooed as little as once a week, to once every two weeks, because curly hair tends to be dryer.
Use a shampoo/conditioner that is right for your hair. For instance, if you have dry, frizzy hair, you should not be using products designed for oily hair.
Look into using a leave-in conditioner and/or hot oil treatments. Your local beauty supply store (i.e. Sally’s) will have many options to choose from. Make sure to read the directions beforehand!
Cut back on the coloring sessions, which will inevitably cause your hair damage. If you must color your hair, look into some of the newer dyes available which offer more moisturizing protection when dying. If you want to dye your hair a shade of red, try dying it naturally with henna. If you want to dye your hair black, you can try dying it with a combination of henna and indigo.
Use protective styles, which are hair styles that keep your hair up and unexposed from environmental damage. Some examples would be buns, ponytails, plaits, cornrows, French braids, etc. This is very effective for a person whose hair is above shoulder length, because the hair tends to rub against clothes. Use them loosely, though, as you don’t want to yank on your roots and scalp.
When pulling back your hair, use smooth bands and clips. Avoid metal clips that can tangle and break hair, and never use bare rubber/elastic bands on your hair or hair bands that contain metal connections.
Avoid excessively hot water as well as blow dryers and curling irons. If you must use a blow dryer, invest in a diffuser.
Consider wearing a cap or scarf of some sort when outside. Excessive heat/cold, wind and the elements can damage your hair.
You may also choose to invest in a silk/satin hair wrap or a silk/satin pillowcase to reduce damage to your hair when you toss and turn at night.
Remember to have patience. Scalp hair grows at an average rate of 0.4 mm/day (approximately 0.5 in/month). Unless you are genetically programed that you grow hair faster, it will take some good old fashioned time and patience to see the desired results. [2] Your hair growth tends to decrease during colder months. Try as you might, it may take years to grow your hair to a desired length, curly or straight. With trends changing so quickly, you have to consider that by the time your hair is long, it may be more in style to have shorter hair. Be diligent and have patience, and you will at the very least be rewarded with beautiful, healthy, if not long, hair. Love your hair and don’t damage it!
For some of us growing long beautiful hair is not a problem, but let’s face it, not all of us have it that easy. While there is no magical instant cure for longer hair, there are a few things you can do to make sure you’re hair will grow, grow, grow!
1. First and foremost, take your vitamins! If you can’t swallow the thought of popping a pill, then at least eat your way to healthy hair. A well balanced diet of foods rich in vitamin A, B, C and especially E are all essential for growing healthy hair. Foods that are rich in iron and zinc have been proven to encourage hair growth. If you don’t care for beef, try fish, raisins, spinach, beans and yogurt, which are also great sources for protein. Soy is also rich in proteins and has even been found to strengthen hair. Also try prenatal vitamins! They do wonders for not only growing hair, but growing nails as well!
2. Get rid of the dead ends. If you have tons of split ends and you haven’t had your hair trimmed lately, your slowing down your hair’s growth potential. Getting a regular trim at least every few months will keep damaged ends at bay and will allow hair to grow faster.
3. Stimulate the scalp. Increasing the circulation to your head by messaging the scalp can make the hair grow. You can do this by, simply rubbing your fingertips in circular motions against your scalp for 2-3 minutes a day. For an added treat, mix ½ cup of rosemary and 1 cup of tea together and mix half of this with your normal shampooing to open up scalp pores and increase blood circulation.
4. Get out and move. Everyday stress and no exercise have actually shown slower growth to hair. Getting a good night’s sleep (at least 7 hours) and putting your worries to bed, combined with a daily exercise regimen can improve not only your hair’s growth, but your health as well.
5. Squeaky cleanliness is a must hair essential, not only for growth, but for sanitary reasons as well. If you’re running around with oily roots or a nice big build-up of dirt in your hair, you need to change your routine and shampoo hair at least twice a week to maximize your potential for long hair. While you’re at it, don’t forget to wash your hairbrushes and combs.
6. Treat your hair with care. If you want your hair to grow, you must take care of your hair. Don’t brush wet hair unless you want to damage it. Use a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically formulated for your hair type. Skip the heated styling tools, perms and dyes as often as you can, and avoid any unnecessary rough stuff that can cause your hair to break.
7. Fake it! If you don’t have the patience to wait for your hair to grow, you can always try wearing a hair extension like your favorite celebrity, until your own hair grows to the desired length you’re aiming for.
Increase blood flow by gently massaging the scalp. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables and plenty of protein. Soy (ie., tofu) and a variety of beans is a good source of protein. Drink plenty of water. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Keep a healthy diet. This regimen should be followed for several months as hair only grows approx. One-half inch per month. Do not comb or brush hair when wet as this causes breakage. If hair has been damaged, (perm or coloring) use a good conditioner. Try to air dry versus using a blow dryer.
The only proven way to grow hair faster is pregnancy. There are things you could be doing that make your hair grow slower (like bad nutrition, vitamin deficiency, chemicals, sedentary lifestyle, etc), bu
