  Well, it's hard to tell from the pictures because you're wearing a hat, but I'd say that you're a 3A or 3B hair type.
  
  You say you want to know how long it will take your hair to grow, but it's hard to answer that without knowing your current routine. What do you do daily? Weekly? What sort of products do you use? This way, we can help you figure out if you are helping or hindering your growth.

  Thanks for your reply, 3A seems to be the nearest type for me and sorry for the pictures there the only two decent pic's i have.
  
  As for products i use this:
  
  Asda Jojoba Shampoo - Review - Jojoba me up baby!
  
  I also use the same product but conditioner.
  
  Both say for dry/damaged hair on the front of them.
  
  I wash my hair everyday in the shower first i use the shampoo then use the conditioner.Then i dry my hair with a dry towel.

  Would you mind listing the ingredient in those two products? it has jojoba in it, i assume, and that is great.
  
  You might want to consider only washing once or twice a week with shampoo, and then if your scalp becomes oily in between your shampoo washes, you would "wash" with conditioner. Believe it or not, symptoms of dry scalp include oily hair and flaking scalp. While I'm not suggesting that you have dry scalp, I still recommend that you cut back on shampooing so often, as it can be drying to both your scalp and your hair.
  
  Hope that helps!
