Well, I decided that my shoulder length hair needed a change. I went to a new salon today and got it cut. Well, now it is really short and I HATE it! My bangs were as long as the rest of my hair, but now it is laying on my forehead. This hairstyle makes me look ALOT older. I am 26 yrs old, but I could pass for 40 now.lol I feel bald! I so wish that I didn`t get it cut off! It was at a difficult stage and I got tired of trying to fix it. It was so limp! Can anyone suggest any kind of hair care that will help grow my hair out faster? I need some hair!! I don`t even wanna step outside my house now. Please help me!

Sorry you are suffering from "cutter`s regret". It happens more often than you think...you are not alone. It takes some effort to get through that awkward stage when you are growing your hair out. I wish I could tell you there is a magic elixir you could take and your hair would be as long as you want. There isn`t. However, my clients have had really good luck with the H37 hair vitamins sold on this web site. I must say their hair did indeed seem to grow in faster and healthier since they started using the vitamin. I highly recommend it. Others have told me they got very good results with the Nature`s Bounty vitamins (sold at Wal-Mart). A book I have about hair gives these tips for growing hair: 1) Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks which weaken the body and block maximum growth. 2) Eat a healthy diet, avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat. 3) Treat your hair carefully and avoid any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling. 4) Avoid the use of hot water, hot blow dryers and other hair care tools that may stress the hair. 5) Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles. 6) Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier. 7) Believe it or not, the water you use to wash your hair can cause damage if it is too chlorinated. After you wash your hair, just rinse with mineral water, it will make a big difference to the split ends. You have a number of things to try and I hope at least some them work for you. Good luck!!!

Hi Tina,

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you and your hair. I wish that hadn`t thought that your hair needed a change, let alone rushed in and had your hair cut. It is sad to see how many young women do as you did and then realise that their hair wasn`t that bad after all. I am really upset for you Tina, especially as your haircut now makes you look so much older. I am amazed how many women withink cutting their hair off will make them younger, but ineviatably it more often than not is the reverse.

To you Tina, I wish to offer you any support or friendship that you may want or need to console you over what has happened and to encourage and support you in regrowing your hair. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to, I will do anything I can to help.

Best wishes,
