Hi, some time this year (I cant remember when) i cut my hair to shoulder length. It was REALLY long and I loved it but i cut it short so it would grow out thicker (I have always had really thin hair). Now I am growing it back out again its a really weird in between length and I got a lead part in a play that is on the 22nd of June 2013 and they want my hair as long as it can be so I have about 6 months to grow long hair. I didn't really care about making it thicker because it is growing out thicker. At the moment my hair is about 19 inches down from my scalp so not to long but not short. My hair is very healthy and has never been died/ is only straightened or curled rarely.
Please can you give me an idea of how long my hair will probably be by then and if there is any thing (cheap) that I can do to make it grow faster (I have heard that I should wear it up all the time, use special hair growth shampoo/conditioner etc.)

HAIR TRIVIA:
⢠The hair on your head grows at about 0.00000001 miles per hour. That's a half-inch per month. Mine grows 3/4" in 29 days. In 6 months? Do the math.
If you're healthy, & very active, your nails are growing, your hair should be growing RIGHT NOW. If you want perfection, you NEED patience.
Babies can do that, by drinking their milk. . . . so can you, so can any of us without any help. From your: good genes, good hair care and all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, that's where you get all your vitamins & minerals for growing from head to toes. Shampoos are meant for cleaning the hair, not for growing.
If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.

NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.
Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .
Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. Hormonal changes can have a big effect on hair.
Remember: The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that cleans & condition the hair. They also sell products that damage and causes hair loss. They also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'. Mechanical, chemical, or thermal styling. Hair straighteners and relaxers top the hair products pose the greatest risks. Hair relaxers, related products marketed heavily to African-American women, are dangerous because they may contain powerful chemicals such as lye, a toxic substance also used in drain cleaners.
Man-made products & supplements can do more harm than good.
Beginning in February 2008, they experienced one symptom after another: diarrhea, joint pain, HAIR LOSS, lung problems, and fingernails and toenails that fell off. FDA has received numerous reports of harm associated with the use of these products, including stroke, liver injury, kidney failure, heart palpitations, and death. 3-15-11. Pills like medications ALL have side effects. Beware. Example: "I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair. I don't know if it is temporary or I have to seek medical treatment." YA poster 9-27-12. Four men are charged in federal court for selling home-brewed hair growth drugs online. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54991911-78/ahn-growth-hair-kim.html.csp

"You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnât get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,â Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.
People giving advice here, should list their sources, and not try to sell you products.

Do cold showers help keep skin moist?
The Maveri
Every time I take a warm or hot shower, my skin comes out very dry and itchy and my hair is dry and fragile.
I've heard that cold showers help retain the oils on your skin that keep them soft and moisturized.
So do cold showers help with that? What are your experiences?
Answer
Too much soaking in the sun, tub or pool ARE SKIN'S worst enemies.
Use warm water if you have dry skin.
Eating good healthy foods helps the skin heal, also. My hubby has high cholesterol, so he always like the sun and take a hot shower, 4-5x a week. But because of his good genes, his skin is never dry!
My hubby have been eating the same types of foods for 40 years, but I just avoid to eat less lean meats or fatty foods and eat more fresh fruits & veggies.

All the vitamins & minerals you need for good skin care comes from all the healthy foods you eat from Mother Nature.
I also have Discoid Lupus - a skin disease my dermatologist told me caused from the sun, so I've been protecting myself by using blanket in the car, a wide brim hat, or umbrella when I'm outside.
As for your hair: heat & chemicals are hair's worst enemies.

Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS. Hair products just absorb on your hair if they're dry, like a sponge.
