so discouraged :( PLEASE HELP!

in Growing out
as you can see from my signature down there, i'm so desperate to grow out my curls! i've been taking GNC's hair, skin and nails formula along with GNC evening primrose and GNC collagen for about 2.5 weeks now and i know it's early, but i can't really tell anything. once this month's worth of vitamins is gone, i'm considering trying the GNC ultra nourish hair b/c i've heard good things about it in this forum.
i'm so discouraged about growing my hair out. i've been trying for 2 YEARS. i've been modified CG since then (now i'm 100% CG) and i've taken a lot of precautions with my hair and treated it very nicely. since then i've stopped flat ironing/curling so much (i only do it like maybe once a month) but still it breaks off on the ends. i get it trimmed once every 2 months but i can see split ends going ALL THE WAY up my hair. does that mean i have to cut it all off in order for it to grow?
here's my BIG QUESTION:
is it possible to grow out hair that is already damaged and split WITHOUT cutting it all off? i refuse to chop my hair! help!:banghead:

As for growing more quickly, I've used biotin and MSM with some degree of success. My hair just doesn't grow as quickly as some others. Speckla had a supplement routine that made her hair grow inches in a few short months. You may want to do a search for that.
Hopefully one of the science geeks will chime in.
