In a nutshell I would say this:

1. First evaluate your health. Find out if there is a medical reason why your hair is not growing. Find out what nutritional deficiencies you have if any and correct them. Healthy hair starts from inside. Take care of your physical needs.
2. Clarify your hair with a clarifying shampoo no more than once per week to remove product build-up. Start with a clean slate.
3. Use a protein treatment such as a reconstructor to stop any breakage.
4. Use a moisturizing conditioner to infuse it with moisture and regain elasticity.
5. Cut off all damaged ends.
6. Avoid chemicals, heat and harsh hair appliances and accesories. If they are used, use with extreme care.
7. Let a competent trained professional do chemical services when at all possible.
8. Use high quality products when at all possible.
9. Stimulate the scalp with gentle massages.
10. Be diligent about your hair maintenance. We do a lot of unecessary damage by improper maitenance (ex: not sleeping on satin pillows, combing roughly through tangled hair etc.,)

Wow, we're almost in complete agreement. Except the professionals part. Ain't nobody touching my hair w/ chems. I also have regular henna treatments to my list.

Says it all in a nutshell.

Keep your hair and ends moisturized.
Stay away from heat (or use minimal, indirect heat), especially if relaxed.
Keep it simple.
Have a good, healthy diet.
Drink lots of water daily.
Exercise regularly to get that blood flow to the scalp.
Be consistent with your regimen.
Love your hair now, exactly as it is.

Just leave your hair alone and avoid everything that will more than likely cause damage or breakage to your hair.

what she said. Just leave your hair alone.

In addition to what everyone else says, I would add one thing. Pray. Remember, a woman's hair is her "crown and glory" !

Stretch relaxers
Use protein treatments as needed
Moisturize daily
Wear protective styles to prevent breakage as it grows out
Take a multi-vitamin and a hair vitamin
Deep condition weekly
Use a topical growth product regularly (optional)
