Hairrrrrrrrr.


Question Posted Sunday January 3 2010, 6:27 pm

Does cutting your hair more often REALLY make it grow faster?

ARE there any methods to making hair grow faster?

What is the best way (and/or product) to restore health to hair? my hair's pretty damaged right now becuase i've been dying it a LOT for the past 2 years (I've stopped now).

cutting your hair more often makes it grow more SLOWLY. most of the time they cut your hair more then its growing for instance, if they cut 1/4 of an inch and you get it cut every month, its cuttin more then its growin. it is good, though, to get your hair cut because not treatin it can make it look reallllly damaged and make your hair break. ask them to 'dust' the ends without takin off any of the length. this will get rid of split ends.

there are certain pills and things you can use for your hair that claim to make it grow longer, but ive never tried it before. i suggest you do some research or talk to someone at a sally's beauty supply and see what options best for you.

to help the damage to your hair, start by tryin to cut as much of the damage off as you can. i know you want to grow it long but this can help you get sort of a fresh start. if you dont want to cut off a lot, just try to get as much of the damaged ends as you can. then, try to just moisturize it as best as you can. they have certain creams you can buy that you let sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes, like aussie 3 minute miracle. also, i was in the same boat you were in so i used the dove intense damage therapy and i like it a lot ! stay away from straighteners but if thats a necessity in your life, put the heat on a lower settin and try to get a spray or serum that you put in your hair to protect it.


hope i helped !

No, cutting your hair does not affect the rate at which it grows. Frequent brushing doesn't either.

Hair growth rate is largely determined by genes. However, staying healthy will help ensure that your hair grows to its full potential. Make sure you get enough protein and vitamins.

Not dyeing your hair helps a lot. Using the kind of shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair's condition will be enough. The ones that are made for dry hair generally work well. The brand doesn't matter. Pick one that you like.

No, trimming your hair does not make it grow faster. Your hair grows at its own speed, usually a little faster in summer than winter. If you really want it to grow longer you have to look after it properly.

What trimming your hair does is get rid of split and damaged ends and keep it healthy. Split ends are the result of damage from styling products, heated styling tools and pollution; left alone this split in the hair shaft will travel higher and higher up the hair shaft, the hair will split higher and higher up until you get around to having it trimmed off.
