My hair never grows, looks dull, lank and straggly

This!
I'm early 40s and have struggled for most of my adult life with fine, bitty hair. It never grows beyond shoulder length even though I've tried every tip and treatment going. I have a health diet, don't drink, smoke and have plenty of fruit and veg.
I'm going to a family wedding next year and would really love my hair to grow for it.
I use coconut oil as a weekly deep treatment.
Any tips?

scalp massage daily for several minutes, there are special brushes or you can just use finger tips. have your iron checked (it’s marked normal At ridiculously low levels but needs to be above 70 for healthy hair growth), low b12, folate, vitamin D can all cause hair issues, even if in the low end of the normal range.

If all else fails Regaine hair growth mousse. You can get it on Amazon, it does need to be used every single day -not something I could do tbh, but more and more women are using it.
