All hair grows at a similar rate unless there is a medical condition or nutritional deficiency. Genetics decides the texture and whether it's thin or thick but care has a major impact on how long it gets. AA hair is fragile and you have to find a routine that works for that particular head of hair.
Is the hair moisturized? hair that is dry and brittle breaks off.
What type of sheets do you use? Some people use satin pillowcases to keep hair from being dried out by cotton or flannel sheets. If you use cotton... use higher thread counts that are silkier. Flannel will suck all the moisture out of hair.
What type of styling implements do you use? Boar bristle brushes are best for distributing natural oils. Other brushes need to be evaluated on a case by case basis... some may damage the hair. Use a comb that is appropriate for the texture.
Some types of hair can handle more manipulation than others. Hair that can't handle a lot of manipulation requires a protective style.
