for me .. my hair was the healthiest when I started avoiding the hairdresser.
I think conditioning is key and styling your hair that is most appropriate to your hair texture & the way it falls.

Re: The secret to growing longer hair
i think nutrition is the key. nott'n you put on the outside will make your hair grows. it grows from the inside of your scalp, just like your nails grow from your nail bed.
laws mi memba all dem tar sitt'n deh mi aunty use to buy bout it mek hair "grow" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Edited to add: i notice when i exercise and sweat nuff that my hair grows faster - probably because i'm getting lots of oxygen to the cells, but i'm no scientist - just an observation i made on myself.
another lady i know says when she uses the sauna her hair grows faster. she has locks as well.Comment

Sue, have you ever used a product that prevented breakage, i.e. retain your growth?
I agree nothing you put on your scalp is going to "grow hair" other than a scalp massage might increase blood flow.Comment

<span style='font-size: 11pt'><span style="color: #FF0000"><span style='font-family: Arial Black'>Rule No. 1 for Avoiding Breakage: Comb your hair gently</span></span></span>
- Part your hair in sections.
- Comb from the ends up.
- Take your time.
- Avoid using brushes.
Banish words like "tough", "coarse", etc. from your vocabulary when referring to your hair. Because of it's coily nature, afro hair - whether natural or straightened - is extremely delicate, so handle with care.Comment

Mimimal manipulation and not using damaging hair accessories also help to prevent breakage.
I hear you on the hairdresser, kia. Many black hairdressers are trained in hair styles, not hair care. They tend to cut too much so you never see any growth from one visit to the next.Comment

when my hair starts breaking (prolly from di hole heep a red dye) i just cut it to where it stays thick, like i posted a couple months ago. i usually wash it everyday in summer in the mornings. so i don't really get a chance to moisterize it as often as i should between washings. otherwise, any coconut oil, balsam products or even john frieda oil based products will do.Comment
