Hi Kellie and welcome to the board

What condition is your hair in? Is it healthy? Are u experience breakage? Is it oily, dry, frizzy etc. I think that's the first step. I would also beware of wrapping too much as it can thin your hair out especially around the hairlines.

But I agree with the condition washes, that really helps to grow your hair and to retain the length that u have.

Wash you hair frequently, this will help as you can massage scalp to simulate blood and promote growth.

Also take care of your ends keep them well moisturised

Keep hair well moisturised.

There are a lot of products out there that you should be careful of, anything especially containig mineral oil, and alcohol, and petroleum.
