growing to never been before lengths

[jojo]

Just wondering if any of you notice stalls when trying to grow hair to longer than before lengths or if you reach a certain goal, find if you cut back for one reason or another find you grow quicker to the place you cut from?

I recently cut back an inch just under 3 weeks ago and already my hair has grown back the inch I lost. This sounds unbelievable especially as I grow quite slow. Maybe I was growing faster than i thought and the damaged ends prevented me from retaining lengths...who knows:shrug: but I am happy either way!

Anybody else find this?

I have, I always figure that I measured wrong or my hair is straighter then the last time I measured lol but it felt longer you know ;)
you might just be having a growth spurt!!
it happens! I'd go with it
congrats!

My growth spurts are always winter. I think damaged ends can fool us that hair isnt growing when in fact its just breaking off. My hair was measured 3x both when I cut and today.

Plus immediately after my hair trim my hair was above waist now its just on it again?

I've trimmed it before. It grows about the same. It kinda grows better if I'm eating more meat. My hair sheds, breaks and splits but I color it so I can safely say that if I don't cut it, it gets longer. If I trim it, it never tries to make up for lost time and grows faster. I did reach the point at about waist length where it stopped getting longer last time I grew it out. Who knows, maybe if I wait long enough it will get even longer this time?

I TOTALLY find this. Last August I was almost the same length as now (midback) and it seems to grow slower (breakage I think, my ends are fried) and also, I tend to cut more at this length because I start to get irritated at the damage.

However, last March (approximately) I cut to just above BSL, it was a very blunt and looked fabulous and healthy. Within three months it was back to midback, so apparently my hair, when healthy retains much more length. I notice this with my long bangs which have no damage as well. I got em trimmed to just past eye in January and they are now past chin again.

So midback for me is my "stall" point, which is a combo of factors I believe:
1) my ends have been chemically processed and break
2) my hair is quite fine and the older is gets the more prone to breakage
3) I get annoyed with my hairs damage more at this legth and S&D more as well as microtrim more and visit the hairdresser more. (Since the summer for example I think I have visited the hairdresser 3 times or so)

Hmm i never actually paid attention whether it is growing faster if i took some damage off. It certainly is worth a try.
I love blunt ends and i think your hair look really lovely in your siggy,jojo!

I wish this were true for me, then I'd be back to classic length in no time. Sadly, that is not the case, but after persisting for half a year, my ends have finally started to thicken up *noticeably*. It's getting better with almost every trim, but it's not like they'd grow more. Maybe when the splits get less?
