False. It must be "Your hair has grown so quickly!"
Explanation:
- If you say that someone is grown up, it implies that they are an adult and that they behave in a very responsible manner, example, Katie's children are all grown-up now.
- Grown up also means not being childish or immature
- Someone who is grown-up is physically/mentally mature and no longer depends on their parents/another adult
- Also there is punctuation error. This an exclamatory statement and not an interrogative statement, hence the statement should end with an exclamation (!) only and there should not be any question mark (?).
- Next error is, within double quotes/quotation (") the first letter should always be capitalised, even if these quotes are in the middle of a sentence (your should be Your) when such quotes/quotations form complete sentences.

False
Explanation:
- As per the question, the given expression is grammatically unacceptable as it contains two errors.
- The first is the formatting error where the 'initial letter of the sentence must be written in Capital letters.
- Thus, the 'your' must be converted to 'yours.'
- Another error is the incorrect use of the phrasal verb 'grown up.'
- Phrasal verbs convey a meaning distinct from the combined meaning of the words.
- The phrasal verb 'grown up' implies 'an adult who displays a responsible behavior.'
- Thus, 'grown up' must be replaced with the 'grown' to indicate that her hair has grown significantly in length and amount.
- Therefore, the correct sentence reads as: 'your hair has grown up so quickly.'
