Okay this is an unflattering picture of me but oh well. It was taken in March so my hair has grown some since then. Oh and excuse the natural face.. it was during my no makeup year.

My hair was to my bra strap but I went and got it trimmed today for my split ends and now its pry an inch shorter. I wanted a clean start so I figured Id go and get it trimmed. Now I'll have a healthy start with it.

I'm trying to grow my hair out from a bob. So far it hasn't grew much, but does cover my neck now. I want it to all grow out one length too because it looks like I have layers. I hope to get it to touch my shoulders, that is my short term goal. Any helpful suggestions?? Does shampoo & conditioner make any difference when growing out hair? tia!

 

[lyss-ox]

i know that this question has probably already been answered somewhere in this form but i really dont feel like ready over 100 pages..

so i was just wondering what exaclty are prenatal vitamins,

also user sweetnsexy6953 mentened that they did a hot oil treatment on there hair every week and i was just wondering if there is any way that i could do one at home cause right now i have no money and i would like my hair to grow by the end of the summer and it has been very hard!!

and because my hair is wavy and layered and such i have to straighten or style it almost every day and i would like to stop doing that aswell..

thanks

Prenatal vitamins are the multi-vitamins that you take while trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and for a while after pregnancy. If you do a search you won't have to read every page in the forum. Try an advanced search in haircare for growth.

You can easily find hot oil treatments in any drugstore, and they are really easy to do at home.

Try using a smoothing or straightening balm if you don't want to straighten every day. It won't straighten your hair, but it will calm it down.

Mari you look so different with short hair!!!

Good luck to all you ladies growing out your hair. I have spiral curls, extremely curly hair. I am terrified of cutting it short, giving it layers, basically doing anything to it... I'm afraid it will poof up like crazy and I don't rock a very voluminous look, I'm petite lol it overwhelms me. I keep my curls controlled, styled, and Ive always had at least bra strap length to weigh them down. I wish I could rock shorter hair, bangs, etc. but unfortunatly I can't

Count me in. I used to have super long curly hair (it was long before I permed it) That went to my waist. Then I permed it, ultimate damage.

After awhile, I wasnt feeling the perm so I straightened it everyday with a straightener, but not a ceramic plated one so it really damaged the ends, not to mention the cuticle. Anyways. I cut it the end of my senior year for grade... so it looked like this

The perm was still at my ends tho..

Currently, my hair is straight with the bottom half bleached, & though i cut it after the second picture grew out, I want to grow it out longer.. at least to bra strap. I miss tossing it around. I'll probably perm it, but I'll be smarter and get a texture wave this time.

your hair is still gorgeous, even shorter!
i understand exactly what you're saying about the perm. i'm trying like heck to avoid texturizing my hair, but it's growing like crazy and a bit puffy in the roots. i've been trying to control it with products rather than the texturizer. so far it's been ok, but i've been conditioning it everyday. that helps quite a bit.

 

[pinksugar]

well, I just checked the date of my first posts in this thread, just over a month

my hair has grown approximately one inch. Woohoo!

it's suuuch a slow process

I guess prenatal vitamins might be a good idea to shorten the time

I had one of my regular clients come in a couple days ago for a color touch up and I was in shock at how much her hair had grown in the past month. So of course I made a comment to her and she informed me that she had picked up some Biotin vitamins from Smoothie King and had been taking them for two months. She said her hair & nails were just growing like a weed. I mean, I was truly surprised at how much regrowth she had for just being in 5 weeks ago. I've been growing out an a-line bob since January and I'm in the inbetween stage where it is so freakin ugly. I'm going to purchase some of these Biotin vitamins though!
