It is mostly a myth. However, proper eating habits as hair is a mainly made up of protein will help. Not damaging your hair with chemicals, colors and heat, if possible. Keeping it as natural as possible and applying as little heat as possible as infrequently as possible will help it grow as much as it is genetically able to.

Yes, it does to a certain extent. It will also strengthen the hair shaft as you will be getting nutrients that are needed. Also trimming your hair on a regular basis, every four to six weeks helps with growth. Gelatin will also help if you want your nails to be stronger and grow better.

I don't think that this is true. The rate at which your hair grows can vary from person to person, it all depends on your genes. Eating a balanced diet will keep your hair healthy though.
