I CAN'T GROW HAIR WITH SEW-IN WEAVES!

I think cause you keep your sew-in so long you taking your hair out so it's no progress you give your hair no break you should let it rest some sounds you put alot stress on your hair don't think your hair respond well to braiding or your whole regimen.

I would take your weave out after 2 months. I don't recommend washing while in the weave (this works for me..). When you take your weave out do this:

I agree with CyrsAngel, I wore installs and my hair barely grew. I switched to wigs that i was able to take off nightly and I moisturized my hair and my length went from ear length to shoulder length in 4 months. I was surprised myself.

i tried posting here before, but BHM was acting up.  "Only members w/sufficient access..".. any way...

congrats on acknowledging that everyone cannot have the "best of both worlds".. it's been over 20+ years of weaves.  Each "weavologist" promising me while taking my hard earned cash - we're talking tens of thousands of dollars over those years - they could grow my hair with weaves.

First off?  i'm a fine 4c hair.  It took over 20+ years to realize that my fine hair cannot handle the weight of the tracks, the hair and the tension of a weave.  There were also "inappropriate" practices in play. 

Perming my full head of hair,
 
then tightly braiding it in tracks while still wet,

then putting it under a net,
 
then the weave on top of it.

Those weavelogists saw the bald patches all over my head from different "anchoring" positions of the tracks.  But didn't acknowledge them.  They just kept right on taking my money - gladly. one of those beauticians in Las Vegas who's now an ex-convict (her name is Stormy, btw), slipped and said that i would be a "weave head" for the rest of my life.  That's a person who has barely any hair on their head - but just enough to hold a few weave tracks..

After several setbacks - and i mean several - i came to the conclusion that everyone can't wear them.  Thanks to being on able to come on a hair board like BHM, and vent, lurk, vent, learn, experiment, fail, and try again, i'm on a hair journey.

You can't go on just ANY hair board and do this.. believe me.  i learned my lesson with LHCF.. lot of divas there.  you just can't "be real" there without being e-stoned.

and pay them to do it..

I agree with mostly everyone here... I was able to go from APL to MBL in 6 months just from wearing wigs. You can pay so much more attention to your hair wearing wigs than you'd be able to accomplish wearing weaves. I think weaves are fine, but, like you, my growth was slow and I'm not sure it was receiving the moisture and care that it needed.
