Is it true that in order for your hair to grow you need to cut it? why is that?

my daughter at age 8 had hair below her rear end. it was long, curly and gorgeous. but we were told that because we never trimmed it as it grew it was all unhealthy. so we cut it to below your nape, thinking it'd grow back. it hasn't!! she is somewhat depressed about it. she misses her long hair, she's 10 now. and it hasnt grown past that very same point!!!! in two years!

i've even heard we may have "shocked" her hair by cutting it and it wont grow back....i'm very confused.

It's totally wrong. It's just because when you cut your hair, it becomes stronger and you see better that they are growing !!

To get rid of split ends, this helps it to grow faster.

You're not susposto 'cut' it, but every once and a while you're susposto trim the bottom of your hair to remove unhealthy split ends and make it grow longer. I would recommend going back to the place where you got her hair cute when she was eight and show them what happened. They might be able to give you a certin shampoo or something. I wouldnt curl it or straighten it will an iron or anything else that can burn the hair until it all grows back.

Good Luck 閳?br> (hope your daughter's hair grows back) =]

You don't have to cut it, in order for it to grow. But it's a good idea to cut trim the split ends off every 2-3 months.

I don't think you "shocked" her hair, but if you massage the oil once a week and soak for 30 minutes before washing, then it should grow back.

It's very natural to miss long hair when you cut it, and it is not a decision that can be easily undone. I'm sorry if she is still having regrets 2 years down the road.

Hair that is never cut does begin to show damage--split ends, etc, but trimming off the damaged ends periodically should suffice--one doesn't need to cut 12" of hair off to stimulate growth. Growth occurs whether there is 2" or 2 feet of hair.

How sure are you that her hair isn't growing? Adult hair grows at 1/4" per month, and kids' hair may grow slower than this. At that rate, you would only expect 3" of hair growth per year if you never even trimmed it. I'm guessing that the distance between her nape and her rear end are at least 15" apart, i.e. 5 years worth of growth.

you are kidding right?... if that was right what about guys? they cut their hair once every month dont they? If what you said is true then their hair must not be growing at all. Whether or not you cut the hair it will continue to grow in the same pace. If it isnt, then its due to some health problem.

Cutting hair has nothing to do with the growth rate of hair it took her 8 years to get to that length. Her hair is alot healthier now that it has been cut so her curls a just bouncing nicer now. I bet when her hair is wet and you comb it straight down you will notice that it is longer. But when it dries it just bounces up. It will grow in time

You have to trim the ends regularly as hair stops growing on split ends. Lavender oil has been shown to increase hair growth so massage the oil once a week and soak for 30 minutes before washing. Try http://solutionsforhairgrowth.blogspot.c... for more details.

If you dont cut the split ends they carry on splitting up (like pulling a piece of cotton apart). Therefore your hair is more unhealthy and the ends snap more, so it doesnt stop it growing just stops it snapping off the ends. Childrens hair grows much faster when theyre going through a grow spurt,maybe your little girl has been through one since having her hair cut!
