Can you make your hair grow faster some how?

I want long hair, but my hair is curly so it takes forever to make it look long. Is there any way I could make it grow faster? Oh, and I have another question…my hair is really really dry. I dont even know why. I dont straighten it that much..but I used to put a lot of hair spray in it. How can I get my hair long and shiny?
