First of all noting externally can change how fast your hair grows. Secondly whoever said putting motor oil in your hair knows NOTHING about hair, That would result in a greasy, dirty, stinky mess. All you can do externally is to treat your hair like a piece of lace. As for speeding up growth, eat a balanced diet, exercise, try not to obsess on hair(guilty on that charge), enjoy the growing out process, and take progress pics once a month.

i would really really really suggest you dont use motor oil! a natural oil like jojoba will keep your hair healthy, but theres not much you can do to actually speed up the growing process, just don't cut your hair! looking after your hair will mean you don't get split ends and have to cut them off, so try and avoid anything damaging like bleach and tangles and heat (hair dryers etc)
I m sure motor oil is not going to help. Even any oil for that matter. It can only keep your hair smooth and healthy. I think u can have a balanced diet and good exercise and ofcourse healthy mind.

How long does the average person have to wait to grow their hair? a month? two months? Right now i have 360 waves, and my hair is kinda high, what would i do if i wanted braids?

How long do you want the braids to be, roca? Can you share a
picture? Keep in mind that the strand length will be longer than
the braids due to texture and the braid itself.

for cornrows (like Alan Iverson) or extensions, i would suggest at
LEAST 1" of growth, more if possible. the longer the hair, the less it
has to be pulled to get it into the braid...hence less breakage (and
less pain in the hands of the person braiding). i would also
suggest oiling the hair while you're growing it out. roca, how fast
does your hair grow? that will answer your question as to how long it
takes to get to 1+" :)

Thanks^^^ Well i usually leave my hair the height below,left corner, and i cut my hair myself every 2wks after that height. Would i have to "pic" my hair to expand it?
r u sayin it 1" for extensions or 1" to get braids? also im havini da same probs that alot of dudes on here its been bout 5 months since i xstarted growin hair out and i sarted with a bald head and on some areas like at the back hair is bout 2 inches hair on top is bout an inch and half. plus im have nappy hair that gets knots and tangles so wat kinda of oil should i be puttin in my hair and wat kind of shampoo and conditioner?
Jojoba and olive oils work well for me. Oiling your hair with
oils like this will help your hair stay moisturized. Nappy hair
tends to get dry -- if yours does moisturizing conditioners will
help keep the hair from drying out, and only use shampoo as much as you
absolutely have to.
Some people with nappy hair only detangle when the hair is covered with conditioner so it won't break.

Sugarcube could not have said it better. Motor oil? Please Please promise us you will never go to that person for hair advice. He is either on heavy drugs, or really mad at you for something you did in the past and is trying to get you back. You know, like that girl who switched her girlfriend's conditioner for Nair, because she found out she had slept with her boyfriend LOL.
Hair grows at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month. So that can help you stimate how long it will take you to grow the length you want.
