Does weave help your hair growth or retain length?

so girls, I had a weave 4 days ago for the first time ever! I'm so excited it looks beautiful and natural but my goal is to help my hair growth and keep it away from heat and styling. (I can't believe how I don't have to spend 30 mns every morning trying to make my hair look descent) and I don't have to see my hair breaking everyday everytime I brush. so what's your experience with weaves? have it help your hair growth?
