Man I could go on all day about my hair, it's so curly and gets so frizzy, and it's really damaged too.
I have a ritual of buying a leave in conditioner and and treatment and putting them in my hair when I wash it at night. When I do my hair before I go anywhere I rinse it with conditioner then put a little bit of leave in conditioner or treatment and then mousse. I know none of that is really HOME MADE treatments though. But the key to growing your hair 'faster' is to take care of it. For you see my dear, you can't actually make your hair grow faster. Some people's hair grows faster than others, and by the time your hair is a few centermetres long the ends of you hair are a few years old. So whatever damage has happened in the years that your hair is growing is all going to make a difference.
So you have to take care of it, plait it at night, eat foods that are good for your hair, and it will affect the outcome of what it looks like.
