    Hair grows an average of half an inch per month. So, in a week it only grows a tiny bit, maybe 1/16th of an inch.

    Biotin is the only supplement that I've seen a big difference with. Topical treatments with argan oil and tea tree oil can also be helpful.

    You can't really make your hair grow faster, but you can prevent it from breaking. To prevent breakage, you can lessen up on hot tools and have some deeper conditioning done by a professional or even by yourself. You should also consider getting adequate trims as you grow out your hair. Trimming your hair adequately and consistently can actually help the hair grow a little bit longer, as it prevents the hair from getting to that split end stage.

    Sometimes people cannot grow their hair past certain distances. This can be the result of aging or because their hair is very fine and cannot grow past a certain length without breaking.
