Everyone's hair grows at about 6 inches a year, unless there are medical problems. So your problem is probably hair care. You have to ask yourself some questions.

How often do you wash your hair?

Do you get the proper balance of moisture and protein to your hair?

Do you clog your follicles by greasing your scalp?

How is your diet?

Do you protect your ends from breakage?

I suggest you go to some hair sites.

http://healthytextures.typepad.com/ (great information here)

Hope this helps. Using these sites I have gone from ear length to shoulder length)

You can also search fotki for pictures of proof that proper hair care works!!
