  1) Every Tuesday and friday apply warm oil (gingelly) to your hair. Keep it for a couple of hours or a min 1 hr. Wash it off with shikkakai.
  Next day wash with shampoo.
  2) You can soak henna overnight (add amla powder, coffee powder, lemon juice, sugar - all optional) in a iron kadhai. Apply to each parting of the hair from roots -> tips.
  3) Each a lot of greens (containing high iron content)
  4) Be Stress free
  5) Washing hair with hard water everyday is not good. Once or twice a week is good.
  6) Most of the pools have a high chlorine content, so cover your hair with a wrap (available at most swminning stores) if you want to swim everyday.
  
  HOPE all this helps.

  Cucumber juice promotes hair growth due to its high silicon content. It is more beneficial if taken daily, in combination with juices of carrot, spinach, lettuce etc. Even regularly eating cucumbers is good but NEVER peel them; max. nutrients are in the skin & just beneath it. Include more of curry leaves, coriander leaves in your daily diet.

  Eating a spoonfull of dried mixed furits and nuts daily helps its growth.
  
  Heat a cup of gingely oil, add some grains of rice(any), pepper seeds and cumin seeds and apply an hr before bath and then wash. This helps solve dandruff to a certain extent.
