Normal hair growth?

How long would it take for an average girl to grow her hair from the middle of her neck to her wasit if she gets it trimmed as much as needed? And how long should you wait before getting your hair trimmed if you are growing it out?

Growth cycle



Hair has its own growth cycle , - it grows up to a certain point and then it rests and drops out. Fortunately, this doesn't happen to all of the hairs at the same time, otherwise we would go periodically bald. It does have repercussions though. If you've been trying to grow your hair long, you'll notice that it seems to grow to a certain length and then stops growing any longer. Don't worry, this is the natural length for the growth cycle of your hair. Your hair is still growing but it is also shedding at the same time. To grow your hair until it touches the floor would mean that you are not very tall or that you have an abnormal hair growth cycle.



In practical terms this means that even if you are trying to grow your hair long , you should still have it cut regularly to stop the ends looking thin and straggly. For long hair to look healthy and strong it must be cut regularly.



Hair grows from the roots at an average rate of half an inch (1.25cm) per month. The natural growth cycle for a hair is between 1.25 to 7 years before reaching its resting stage. The arithmetic is simple;



Length of growth cycle X 0.5 inches per month = The natural maximum length for your hair.



e.g..;



1.25 year growth cycle X 0.5 in per month = maximum hair length of 7.5 inches (18.75 cm)



7 year growth cycle X 0.5 in per month = maximum hair length of 42 inches (105 cm)



This also means that if your hair is only 6 inches long, the ends will have been dead for 1 year - one year of washing, combing, brushing and exposure to the elements. It's no wonder that hair starts to look dry and lifeless. It is vital to use conditioning treatments to keep your hair in tip top condition. After shampooing use a surface conditioner to restore the ph of the hair and to close the cuticle, making it look shinier and feel smoother.

I've heard it grows 1/2 inch per month. Get it trimmed every 8 weeks.

Normal hair growth?

Why do you want hair down to your waist? Not everyone looks good with long hair and besides, that look is so past. Don't buy into the "long hair is beautiful" propaganda. Shorter hair, above the shoulders draws more attention to the face and it's more fashion forward than long hair. Other than celebrities I can't think of one "real" woman with ong hair that wears it beautifully. If you still want to grow it out, take prenatal vitamins. It will help keep it strong and thick.

Well, from the middle of my own neck to my waist is about 18 inches. Since the normal growth cycle of hair is 1/2 inch monthly, it would take 3 years to grow it to the waist. If you get 1/4 inch of it trimmed every 8 weeks over 3 years, you'll be getting a total of 21 trims, totaling 5 1/2 inches of hair, thus leaving you short. So, instead, count on 4-4 1/2 years for it to be fully, luxuriously to your waist, with no thinning, no breakage, and gorgeous. You CAN cheat on the trims, getting fewer or even none, and do it faster, but the end results will not be worth it unless you're blessed with super-elastic, super strong hair, somewhat oily hair and fabulous hair products.
