    You can't make your hair grow much faster than it naturally does, but you can do some things to make your hair stronger, which can keep growth steady. Don't shampoo too often, as this can dry out your hair and cause damage. Once or twice a week is enough. Make sure to keep your hair hydrated by using a conditioner or oil-based serum, too. Lastly, you should get your hair trimmed every few months. Trimming your hair gets rid of split ends, which keeps your hair healthy and will allow you to grow it out longer.
