Answer 1

Hi,

I feel your pain. I have short hair right now, too. My hair is about 2 inches long because I cut out all the relaxer from my hair to go natural. I don't really like it this short, but it comes with going from permed to natural. My advice is to keep realistic expectations about your hair and don't expect it to grow 10 inches in one month, for example.

There are a couple of misconceptions that I want to quickly debunk. Firstly, nothing can make your hair grow faster. Hair growth is genetic. If you want to know how quickly your hair can grow then think back to when your hair was in a very healthy state (possibly now) and try to remember how quickly it grew. How fast your hair grows is based on genetics and nothing else. There isn't anything magical you can buy to make it grow faster than it's pre-determined rate.

On average, hair grows about 6 inches per year, but based on *your* genetics your hair might grow faster or slower. There is nothing you can do about this. Now, what you can do is help your hair grow at it's optimal rate, by this I mean, if your hair can grow 8 inches per year then their are things you can do to make sure your hair grows this fast (like taking good care of it) because it's easy to do things to make it grow at a much slower rate. Take good care of your hair, wash it regularly, make sure its well conditioned and moisturized, and make sure you're not doing anything damaging to your hair like using too much heat, which can cause it to break. How long it takes for your hair to grow to mid-back length, again, depends on how fast your hair grows, which, of course, depends on genetics.

Another misconception is hair length. Like hair growth, hair length depends on your genetics. Everyone cannot get their hair to grow down their backs because their hair will not, no matter how healthy it is, grow past its pre-determined length. Have you every had your hair grow this long before? What about your family members, do they have very long hair? This can help you determine if your hair can grow that long. Also, if your hair will not grow past a certain length, even when healthy, then this could be a sign that it's your terminal length. Basically, hair has a terminal length and everyone's terminal length is not the same, and it is determined by genetics. What you do have to focus on, besides having very healthy hair, is hair retention. Once you reach your terminal length you want to keep it there and not have it become damaged and break off. Hair growth is meaningless if your hair keeps breaking off, so remember to focus on retaining it.

Good luck.

ok i dunno whats bad in that coz the bob hairstyle is so stylish right now and trust me you have to wait a few days to see how it will look; i mean you cant judge from the first day you cut it or so coz it looks really bad when its first cut. i just got a hair cut from a week and i was really sad about it but now it looks okay and better than before so try to wait maybe its going to be better and really its not gonna stay like this forever coz it will grow alot and you're not even gonna notice that just take care of it and try to ask your stylist which hair creams and stuff would help

hope i helped :)

Ok hun. Just relax. Can we see pictures of your hair? Short hair is very stylish right now!

Try the style out for a couple days. I think you'll see that it's very fun and versatile. Right now you are in shock, but that's understandable since it's such a huge change.

If you absolutely hate it, you might try extensions. Otherwise you'll have to wait for it to grow out. Massage your scalp every day to stimulate root growth.

Good luck. But I love short hair..!

Answer 4

It will take a very long time....months...years. The key to getting your hair long is not breaking it. Make sure you keep the ends moisturized (try a hair grease with olive oil in it) You should use a neutralizing shampoo or one that is made for people of color (only wash your hair once a week because your natural oil are important) Use a wide tooth comb and and a boar bristle brush. The brush helps to spread your natural oils. If you put it in a pony tail or something once it gets longer then use something that is covered in satin type material, so it won't dry your hair. You should wrap your hair at night with something satin like or get a satin type pillow case.
