That's Pretty Normal
by: Donna in Ct.

Hi...It's perfectly normal to only grow about 1/2' a month. That's an average rate of growth for most of us. If you eat healthfully, massage your scalp, use good quality brushes and products and keep up with your trims on a regular basis...you'll gradually get it back to where you'd like it. Don't sacrifice trims...just be sure you ask for a precise amount off....don't tell a stylist to "just take off the dead ends". Sometimes that's misinterpreted!

Hair health relates to body health

Donna is right about diet. You also need to know that circulation at the scalp is important. This equates to having a clean scalp. If your hair is dry, shampoo 2X a week instead of daily but condition every day. Exercise is important to your circulation so make sure you're getting aerobic activity too.

If your hair is growing 1/2 inch every other month as you said, which is 1/4 inch a month, then it indicates your body is being limited by something. Check the diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. If you're careful with your hair while brushing, conditioning and detangling, you shouldn't need a trim more than 2-3 times a year.

Good luck!

You're not alone

I've been growing my hair for 7.5 years. When I started, it was below my shoulders. It is now only just past my boobs. I get regular trims only .25 of an inch every few months. I've tried not cutting it for 1.5 years, it still didnt grow. It used to be really long too but since that dreaded haircut 8 years ago, it wont grow much past my chest. I eat right, take biotin and prenatal vitamins everyday religiously and straighten my hair only about 5x a year, never dye it or blow dry it either. It gets so damaged and I dont know how or why. I treat it like lace, do treatments once a week and use leave in conditioners and split end treatments daily. My hair should be down to my ass twice over. You are not alone. Nothing will work. I even tried rogaine. If anyone has an answer please let me know
