How to increase hair growth?

I don’t remember ever cutting my hair very short for years now. And when I do cut it, it’s a trim, (and that’s a rare occasion), yet for some reason, my hair doesn’t seem to be growing. It’s where I’ve always remembered it to be. My mid-back. >:( I know people who constantly chops off their hair and have it grow longer than mines in a couple of months.

Is it like genetics or something? My parents said it’s because they didn’t shave my head when I was an infant and most babies get their heads shaved to help hair grow faster and thicker. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Answer #1

Because its common sense. When you shave anywhere on your body, it’ll grow longer, faster, and thicker than before. Your babies have a lot of hair, then thats probably genetics. But I didn’t have a lot of hair as a baby and shaving it (like all my cousins did) would’ve helped it grow thicker and faster.

Answer #2

you’re supposed to get a trim every 5 or 6 weeks, that’s why your hair isn’t growing. the reason you have to trim it so often is to prevent spilt ends. your hair is growing normally- but remember hair grows from the SCALP. when you have damaged ENDS, the tips break off, thus leaving you with hair that never seems to get longer.. because as it’s growing from the scalp the tips are breaking off little by little. and like you said, you’ve seen people chop off their hair and have it grow back in a short amount of time.. and that’s because they also chopped off any damaged hair that would cause breakage. you need to get rid of all your damaged hair so it can grow long and healthy.. go to a salon and ask them to cut a few inches..

Answer #3

They have lovely pills containing half the periodic table.

Answer #6

I don’t know what your parents are talking about…shaving a babies head? I have two babies and I didn’t have to shave their heads to make their hair grow!
Anyways, here’s a quick tip for fast hair and nail growth…prenatal vitamins daily, it’ll only make you healthier, and gelatin.

Answer #7

I used to trim my hair but it can get my hair grow longer but your case is different. Most women trim their hairs in order to grow their hair faster. That is like genetics or something. Try using Reloxe because they are the best in natural hair growth/regrowth.

Answer #8

To speed up, when your in the shower give your scalp a massage, it’ll get the blood flowing and that will speed up the process. Thats what i do, and.. yea my hair’s long. To make it shiny and sleek, there are products you can use like Reloxe but when your in the shower and you’re about to finish, put cold water on your hair. Cold water gives your hair that shine. good luck!

Answer #9

Take vitamins that stimulate hair growth like Reloxe and Nioxin.
