She said to wear shirts without a collar like a dress shirt. Her theory was that when you wear a collard shirt your hair will hit the collar and start looking messy. So no collar means that your hair can go all the way down to your shoulders without being interupted. It sounds silly but it worked for me.
Good luck and when in doubt stick with a smoking hot short cut!

I cant really explain it...I'd have to find a picture and post it.
Basicly,it looks kinda layered.The hair is cut at an angle in the front so that it starts out longer and gets shorter as you go up sort of framing the face.
It grows out nicely since the back grows faster.

Good luck, and munch on thoses vitamins. My daughter loves the Scooby Doo multi-vitamin! I understand angled in the back, but how do you angle it in the front?

Conrad,that is the beauty of pregnancy...alass it is not the pre-natal vitamins that make the hair grow fast,but all the extra hormones and protein the pregnant lady's body is producing.My hair grew super fast when I was pregnant too.Shame that's not an option for me at this time,LOL
I dont think it's too safe to take pre-natal vitamins while not PG because there are extra vitamins in them a non PG person doesnt need and it could POTENTIALLY be dangerous.(for instance,too much iron can be bad)
However,a muti-vitamin does help wonders.
Since I started this thread,I have changed my hairstyle in order for it to grow out easier. I kind of "angled it" in the front.Now I dont have to constantly trim the back to keep the bob shape and can let it grow.
The exercise is great advice.I think you're right that anything that gets the blood circulating will increase circulation in the scalp as well.

It shall be better if your wife replies. I shall prefer any lady to share her experiences, and I have no doubt gone thru their views earlier, and I repeat, I was thinking I am the only one, who thinks so, but really gals or women face this prob and so, my worries were not minplaced, but any solution?
Firstly, my reply was for julesyjul88 . Secondly, Im not sure how my wife replying with the same information makes it more or less valid.
So JULESYJUL88, i hope this info was useful. It was just an observation about my wife, however, if you would like my wife to repeat it, i will certainly ask her too

Not sure if this applies or not. But when my wife was pregnant, she took prenatal vitamins and her hair grew like a weed along with her fingernails. She also increase her exercise routine. I know the vitimans work, but not too sure of the health issues taking prenatal vitimans when your not PG? So maybe ask a medical person!
This is really a problem and I too am passing thru the same prob, as I am crazy on getting my hair cropped in BOB, but something which stops me from taking the extreme step is that in case my hair do not suit me, I ll have to keep it short, as when it wll grow up, it will luk shaggy, and so always or throughout my life wil i have to

LOL! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! The only thing that has saved me at all is having clip on fake ponytails. On days when it looks like utter crap I just pull it back and clip on the instant hair.
I just get tired of doing that all the time (those clips hurt your head!) so then I want it to look nice and neat and trim again
Hannebash,I do remember you.Yes we have alot of similarities!
Bob S~good to know. I do really want to have very long hair I'm just so impatient! You are right though,once it hits the shoulders it gets easier. just getting to that point that sucks.
Kb If I had known before bobs were this big a pain to grow out I wouldnt have done it! I do like how they look but geez.
Thanks for responding,just knowing others are going through this makes it easier (I was starting to wonder if it was just me or if others had this problem)
