Cutting my hair does what?

Okay, so I went to the salon and told the lady I only wanted the dead ends cut off. She cute like 2 inches off of my hair, claiming it was all damaged. "Don't worry," she said, "your hair will grow a lot faster now!". So my question is this: how does cutting the ends off of your hair help it grow faster if your hair grows from the top? Is that a true statement? Help me understand this.

Cutting my hair does what?

Removing the damaged ends does make the hair seem to grow faster. Yes, all hair is dead, but by dead ends she meant dry, split, or not healthy. (the hair that is beyond repair). When your ends get dry and split it's also breaking off at a faster rate at the ends then it should, so as it grows from the root, it's breaking at the bottom making the hair seem to grow slower or remain the same length. Once your ends are healthy they wont break off so you will actually be adding length as the hair grows from the root.

It is not a true statement. What actually happens is, if you do not cut the damaged hair, it will continue to break and split. Cutting this off, allows your hair to grow back healthy.

I've always wondered this too. However, the only thing I can think of is that with dead ends, your hair is putting more nutrients into trying to make those dead ends better instead of into making your hair grow. Cutting the dead ends off gives your hair more nutirents to put into growing hair.

Hair grows x amount of centimeters depending on the person monthly. It certainly makes it look healthier but it's an old wives tale.

You can get it to grow a little faster if you take vitamins like flax seen and biotin. I have noticed a difference in the growth rate taking these two vitamins. How I can tell is how much more often I have to color my hair when I'm on them lol.

Your hair dresser is likely a witch, someone who practices wicca, she put a spell on your hair to make it grow faster. It has nothing to do with the fact that it was cut. So you must return to her as she has a lot of your hair and she can cast an evil spell apon you whenever you show up late for a scheduled appointment or give her an insufficient tip.

Glad I could help you out.

It does have SOME truth to it. Getting rid of dead ends and damaged hair helps because the damage can spread to the rest of your hair and slow it down is all. It really just makes it look better when you cut it off, so I don't know.

You can increase the growth of your hair by using a shampoo that fortifies your hair and makes it stronger. When you shampoo your hair massage your head it increases blood flow which will help nutirents get to your hair. Also vitamins can help make your hair grow faster, and look healthier!
