I tried getting my answer on the hair general topic board but it was drown with other things.
The other day I heard on city line from a stylist that our hair can stop growing for three months straight. Now i had to go out that door that exact moment so I couldn`t find out why or how often it happens.
My question is does this only happen to us once in a lifetime or every so many years?

Please anyone that is a qualify stylist please answer this.

I`m not a hairstylist but I think I read somewhere that hair does indeed go through a period of non-growth, for anything up to 3 months, and that this can take place as often as every two years. It might be called "telogen". I hope someone who really knows can bail me out here!

Hi diane I am a hairstylist .To answer your question Yes hair does go through stages when it does not grow for up to 3 months at a time . However , don`t panick because it does not all stop growing at the same time . All hair strands grow at a different rate. while some are growing the rest is ( taking a break). This is why it is so important to get regular trims , since it does not grow out evenly . I hope this helps .
