cutting hair

Hi all fellow longhairs and longhairs to be!

what do you all think about cutting and it encouraging growth? like my common sense tells me cutting will only make it shorter like no s**t sherlock! but do you think that if hair growth has stalled, cutting might give growth a kick up the backside?

I have only just started dusting after 2 years of just leaving it, for those of you who dust regularly what is your yearly growth and for those of you who are non-cutters what is your yearly growth?

I am interested to see if there is some kind of correlation with cutting and hair growth, should be interesting!

Hair grows from the follicle/root, not the ends.  The only benefit of cutting hair is to remove damaged ends that might promote more damage which would require you to cut even more hair.  

Hair does go thru resting phases.  When it is resting, the best thing to do is just trim the damage and take extra good care of your hair.  Cutting all the hair will only make it shorter.

I trim the ends of my hair about once a year.  I trim about 1" from the length.  My hair grows about 5 - 6" per year, but is slowing down.  When I was in my 20's, my hair grew about 8" per year.

do you think that the longer hair grows, the slower it grows? like mine has always grown roughly 8" a year and even as ive got older this has not changed

Hi Joanna,  my hair grows about an 1 inch a month.  It has its resting fazes too.  I usually dust about every 3 months now only removing the very tips.  I s & d weekly tho.
I do this to keep the damage at minimal.  Hope this helps.  Other than its rest periods, my hairs speed of growth is still the same.  My hair is classic length.

There isn't one. Trimming, cutting and dusting have nothing to do with growth. Sorry.
Some people have periods of growth and resting as mentioned above. But I personally get about the same amount of growth per year.
