How can I get my hair to grow?! It doesn't seem to be growing at all :(?

Question

I used to have quite long hair but with constant dying it and using harsh colours in my hair like purples, its just gotten so short. I also have anemia and i have been told this could also be a reason, although i do take iron medicine for this now so hopefully i see some changes soon. 
I get my hair coloured every 6 weeks, just sticking now with brown and staying away from the vibrant hard to keep colours!, my natural hair colour is dirty fair. I got my hair cut maybe 2 and a half months ago, because i noticed how bad it had gotten, short and unable to do anything with it.. i was hoping it would have grown since then but i dont think that it has... i went and got my hair coloured about 4 weeks ago and nothing cut off that time but it still doesn't seem to be getting any longer.

i drink plenty of water, i have stopped dying it, i only use straightners/hairdryer at weekends, i take iron medicine, i use serum before i use any heat on it, i am using a shampoo & conditioner called fast... nothing seems to be working and its really depressing me as i do not suit short hair at all and i miss having it longer.

has anyone tips for me? or does anyone know why its not really growing? thank you!

Answer

Dyeing hair has been proven to slow down hair growth.  I dye my own hair.  It's shorter than it would be if I kept it natural.  But, my natural hair color is ugly.  And it's still long, anyway.
Using too many chemicals might stop hair growth completely.

Answer

Your hair just got too tired from all the torture you've put into it, I think. You've been using really harsh chemicals and you're not even letting your hair take a rest nor recover before using chemicals again. And I guess, now, that even if you've stopped dyeing, it would take a long time for your hair to get back to normal. The best thing you can do is to just let it be. Do not use any chemicals, but try to use some organic hair products. If you badly need to have a long hair, you can opt to wear wigs from thelacewigsstore.com. If you want different styles and colors (assuming you miss dyeing your hair), you have many options to choose from.

Answer

pretty harsh comments considering im in your position. i dye my hair every 1-2 months, which is the only bad thing i am still doing to my hair this day. i laid off the heat and shampoo, still trying to lay off the ponytails and buns (those cause hair breakage). i am super into all-natural stuff recently and i am very disgusted with more than half of my products. i ordered a bunch of essential oils that at first were going to be for my acne, then ended up being for my skin AND hair. if youre interested in what i use for my face you could ask, but what i use for my hair is Jamaican black castor oil, sweet almond oil, peppermint oil, vitamin e oil, and a little bit of grapeseed oil. i have heard many great results and i believe it because its natural, from the earth. i did a bunch of research before i purchased them because theyre not super cheap. the castor oil will make your hair grow 3 cm in one month if you use at least 1x a week. rather than the regular 1 cm a month (which i dont believe because my hair never grow past this length) HERES TO BETTERING YOURSELF.
