How can I get long hair naturally?

You can try the hair, skin & nails or biotin vitamins. There seems to be mixed reviews about them, but they may work for you.

Otherwise, I think the best you can do is keep your hair as healthy as possible. Split ends will cause it to break off and not get any longer, so do what you can to prevent them and cut them when you get them (you don't have to cut much, just enough to get rid of the split ends and keep your hair healthy). Supposedly, there is a wives' tale about trimming your hair on a full moon or something like that, that is supposed to cause your hair to grow faster. Some people swear by it, but I'm not sure if it really works or not.

Keep your heat styling, dyeing, or any other type of processing to a minimum as well. Use heat protectant spray when you do use heat, and try to opt for a color that is essentially a coloring conditioner if you can (I admittedly don't know a lot about hair dyes, but did fry my previously beautiful, healthy hair with layers of store-bought permanent box dye as a teen; I had to cut off several inches to get rid of all of the damage).

I have heard that massaging your scalp helps promote hair growth as well.

Try to keep your hair in some sort of protective style at night (I just do a loose braid without tying it at the end; it does come mostly undone throughout the night most of the time, but the ends aren't damaged by the tie and the braid keeps it a lot more tangle free than it would be without it), and maybe even during the day (though some people say frequently wearing your hair tied back can cause it to break where the tie is; I have to wear mine tied back for work, so use a soft scrunchie and tie it back loosely so there's less stress on it, plus it's much more comfortable for me- I hate regular hair ties because they give me headaches). Most importantly, try to keep your hair out from underneath purse straps, rubbing against backs of chairs, etc. I've heard that is why so many people (including myself for a long time) have had issues growing their hair past bra-strap length.

You can also do oil and deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy. Try to be as gentle as possible when detangling as well (I've heard wooden combs and brushes are best for your hair, but have yet to try one; my favorite is a wide toothed comb).

Biotin and rice water helps me. I have curly hair but these should work with any hair type

Well i was going to be a dick and just say stop cutting it but i do remember being told by a hair dresser than cut hair grows faster than uncut hair and it will also remove split ends. So the correct answer is probably something like cut it frequently, what that means i dont know, but less than it is growing?

Is... this a trick question? or do you really not know hair grows naturally? Only thing that stops it really providing your hair is growing normally is split ends which is great if you want your hair to stay samish length but otherwise it stops the growth and not good if you want it longer.
