I'm trying to grow my hair long, and have been since September. It seems to have stopped growing though! I have pictures charting its progess:

September:

I'm on the right

I had it cut again in early october and by early December it was this long:



The last time i attempted to spike it up was 27th of December and it was this big:


Now, im currently wearing an alice band and want it down by back long, but it seems to have stopped growing!!



How long off having it Paul Hunter long am I?



I straighten every day, shampoo and condition twice a day (Toni&Guy detox it shampoo and straight and protect condition?)

Last time i had it cut was early October and am thinking whether i should get it thinned out and maybe just have the ends snipped to keep it healthy? Will that help it to grow faster?

When using an alice band should i put anything on it after i've straightened to make it look better? I usually put a bit of bedhead on the top to keep it back and Dax on the back to keep it nice and straight.

Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks

hmm its just a theory ok...

some people, their hair will cease to grow longer or will grow very slowly after a certain length. why do you ask? i  really dont know.

Hi,

I ask because I was wondering if it is normal for hair to stop growing or grow so slowly. I'm starting to wonder if all the crap I used to put on it to keep it spiked has killed my scalp or something.

Thanks anyway

James

you want to talk about crap...

well how about hairspray and gel everyday, 9 months, in a year when i was 10-12 yeard old

shampoo twice a day, with dollop of colt 10 gel, when  I 13-17 yrs old

chemically relaxed my hair twice a month, colour it every 2 months when i was 18-21 years old.

now that is what i called putting a lot of crap to hair

the effect... empty wallet

my hair still grows normally, i still have my monthly hair cut to keep my curly hair under control. so you really have nothing to worry about, its just your follicles are stagnant for a while
