I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY HAIR TO GROW OUT-HAD LAYERS FOR YEARS-FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND STILL I HAVE MANY DIFFERENT LENGTHS. FOR SOME REASON ALL MY LIFE (MOST OF WHICH) I HAVE HAD VERY LONG HAIR. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF CUTTING IT A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW I WANT LONG HAIR AGAIN!!!! MY HAIR SIMPLY DOES NOT GROW--IT'S STILL JUST BARELY PAST MY SHOULDERS. ANYONE KNOW WHY I CAN GROW FINGERNAILS UP TO A FOOT LONG (IF I WANTED TO) BUT CAN'T GET MY HAIR TO GROW!!! IT IS HEALTHY AND SHINY BUT WON'T GROW FASTER!!!HELP!!!

I know how you feel. I had long hair from the time I was six until I graduated from high school, at whcih time I cut it to my shoulders and permed it. Now, three years later, my hair grows, but never past my shoulders. My stylist swears I have healthy hair but that for some people, their hair length just "maxes out." What I'd really like to do is cut it all off and try short hair, but my hubby doesn't like short hair and I'm afraid of looking like a dude! What do you think? =)

I had very long hair and I cut in all of four years ago. I say cut it all off I really just got a shag but it was at my collar or a little longer so that was way short for me. After four years of it that way I decided to jump in head first and go with the super short tapered up against the neck almost but not shaved in the back look. I look like a boy or a stereotypical lesbian. These are quotes from friends and family. If you are thin and have a beautiful face then go for the super short. If not I advise not to b/c my self-esteemed dropped. I am desperately trying to grow it back out but no one seems to be able to tell me which vitamins, shampoo etc. works for that. I am open for ideas.
