So, what have other people noticed their hair does in terms of cycles?
I personally don't notice a heavy difference between warm/cold weather yet - but may not be enough.
I have a heavier shed in the fall, but again, hard to measure with short hair. I don't notice less hair on my head as much as I notice more in the drain or in my comb.
Jumps in growth - my hair will be the same for 2 weeks, no growth that I notice, and then in 1 week, I'll develop really obvious roots.
My back and sides grow faster than my top - didn't notice this really until the henna roots have shown up. I was always figuring the top and front were shorter because that area breaks more. But that area has about 3/8" of roots, my sides are at a good 1/2", and the back section is at 5/8" roots.
My right side is thinner, with a fairly noticeable difference if I put in two braids or tails. I think that's somewhat from always sleeping on my right side, somewhat from permanent damage from the PPD. There isn't any thin areas that I notice, or that DBF or my mom have noticed, but I sure can tell the difference in two pigtails!
