Newbie wants to know more!

You'll get lots of different advice here. This is what I'm doing...

wash hair 2-3 times per week with diluted shampoo (I dilute Aveda Shampure 50/50 with spring water since my water is hard).

the night before a wash, heavily oil hair with coconut oil and put in braids to sleep.

In the morning, before washing, apply deep conditioning treatment to oiled hair. Leave on for at least 30 minutes.

Rinse hair with diluted apple cider vinegar to get rid of minerals from hard water and to make hair shine.

Towel-dry hair (don't rub, blot!) and apply a little jojoba oil. Comb carefully, and let hair air-dry.

I also don't sleep with my hair down. I always wear it in braids at night so I don't wake up with tangles. Plus, it gives me really nice waves :)

Growth of 6" is pretty normal. If you are gentle with your hair, search out and snip off split ends individually (as possible), and eat well /drink enough water, I don't see why 6" is unreasonable.

Jojoba and coconut oil can be found in natural food stores, or natural beauty shoppes such as Pilgrim's Nutrition Center, or Trader Joe's, Whole Foods. Jojoba usually ranges from $2 - $4 per one ounce. Coconut oil ranges from $2 - $5 per pound.

Happy Growing
