Get rid of those split ends

Your hair isn't all the same length, so if you're trying to grow it out just trimming it every two or so months might not cut it (tee hee hee, pun). You may have dry or split ends throughout your hair that won't be removed from a simple trim and that means they can continue to dry and split further up the shaft, leaving your hair dull, brittle, and tangly.
Every two weeks or so in my spare time I'll have a sit down to watch a movie and I'll look for damaged ends to cut off. It's not difficult at all and your hair will thank you for it.
Start from the top of your head. Take a small chunk of hair and gently comb it out so it lays flat. Then weave the strand between two of your fingers so that when you run your hand from the base of the hair to the end, you can see the different lengths sticking up. Trim off any broken, brittle, or split ends. I like to do this about four times on each strand of hair, flipping it over to the other side as well. When you're done with the strand, just clip it up!

I've only been doing this for about a month or so, but I've noticed that my hair is a lot less tangly and feels much smoother. And I sort of find this relaxing, almost like taking a bath :P

All the best,
