That depends on how you treat it. The hair is ALWAYS growing, it's just a matter of retaining length. Healthy hair grows about 1/2 a month. The trick is, keeping all that growth and preventing it from breaking off. Here are some tips:
*Wash your hair regularly with sulfate free shampoos.
*Moisturize your hair regularly with a quality leave in conditioner.
*Seal in your moisture with oils (as needed)
*Protect the ends of your hair by cutting back on heat styling and wearing hair in protective styles (like buns and ponytails)
*Trim your hair as needed to get rid of split ends.
*Eat a healthy balanced diet and take vitamins
*Deep condition your hair regularly
*Do protein treatments to strengthen the hair.

Trimming anyone hair will will cause it to grow. When you trim African American hair you take of the dead ends and make the hair more healthy which encourages growth.
It does not grow out your hair. It just protects it and helps retain length.

No, but it can benefit the hair by adding oil to the natural hair.
You can user a flat iron (there are little ones for short hair & bangs!) or straighten it chemically.
Trim you hair every week,from split ends. Take naps more often.
an African American's hair grows slower because of the strand being so curly. it coils in the hair follicle make the hair harder to come out. a cacausain woman's hair doesnt have the same texture and coil as of an African American's. if an African American would like their hair to grow a lil bit faster. you should get braid, corn rows to pull the hair out of that coil.
Washing and conditioning it and moisturising it
You can't remove a perm. You have to wait for your hair to grow all the way out, or you have to shave your head.
Black people may choose to keep their hair short by trimming it often, but their hair can grow quite long. Since it is extremely curly, or kinky, it appears shorter than it actually is. If you consider the huge Afros of the 60s and 70s -- think Angela Davis -- then you will get a good idea of how long the hair of an African-American can be.
