My hair has been at 28" for months now.  I gather its all the stress I am under that has paused the growth?   I have started bac on my biotin and silcia gel last month and I know they take time to work. Any advise would be great. 8-)

My only advice is hang in there and stick around LL for support of course.  ;) My hair had been stuck at 26" for several months as well then when I measured this month I discovered it had started growing again.  :) Stress could be a contributing factor, because stress is readily known to have effects throughout the body so hair is probably included. So try to relax, and if you don't already, I hear scalp massages helps stimulate hair growth. That and the biotin, but who wants to wait six months.  ::) Good luck!

Thanks Tanai!  I will try the scalp massages, I love them!  As for the stress if you know a good hitman let me know!!lol!! ;D

Hang in there!  It is not uncommon for hair to "rest" for extended periods of time.  (Mine has been resting for about 6 months  >:( ).  Stress can certainly have an effect, although typically stress is a cause for thinning hair more than stopping growth.  Take your vitamins, do scalp massages and don't measure for a while.  I'm sure it will start growing and be glorious when it does.
