Hi Everyone,
I was hoping to ask for some opionions/advice. First let me give you some backround to my question... It's been a busy year for me so I hadn't really noticed when my "pob" started to grow out and within 6 months had hit just above my shoulders. Seeing that I'd managed to grow it out a bit without trying I figured that I'd go all out and grow it to BSL, a length I've been coveting for some time but have never had the patience or strength of will to achieve. Of course,as my luck would have it, the second I made the desicion to grow it I started to experience hairloss /shedding on a massive scale which my GP thinks was just due to stress. I've lost about a quarter of my hair in about 3 months. The fallout is slowing down now (at least, I think it is) so I'm trying to use this as an opportunity to clean-up my bad hair habits and do some proper research and try to grow it out again (with the help of LHC of course) as healthily and as quickly as possible.
I was wondering what everyone's opinion on the best place for me to start out would be in regards to length. Should I cut my, now rather thin and sparse but not too bad, shoulder length hair or should I cut it back to 'Pob' in the theory that my hair would probably look a bit better shorter now that it's thinner and start growing it from there even though it would take another 6 months to get it down to my shoulders again?
Any adivce or comments from you all or from anyone who has experienced something similar and had to decide between lengths would be appriciated.
Thank you.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I've looked for a similar question but cant find one.
