Hair Growth (Head Hair, Not Body Hair)

[natashasoftpaw.livejournal.com]

Greetings everyone. I had a bit of a hair emergency last night, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get head hair to grow faster?

Basically, my mom offered to trim up my hair last night. She's done it before, and usually does it really well. I've been growing it for over six years now (long before I really knew of any gender issues I had, I've just always wanted long hair), but it grows unevenly, so the center came over halfway down my back while the sides were a little longer than shoulder-length.

So, I asked mom to take off no more than an inch or two, just to get rid of the damaged ends. Well, she took off two inches at the sides, then went straight across, chopping off seven inches at its longest point. I thought maybe it was my imagination at first, but I looked at a picture from a couple weeks ago and then at a mirror, and I was almost sick to my stomach when I realized what she had done.

[sighs] So, anyway, I know there's no quick fix, but is there a way to make my hair grow faster? I don't really want to wait another 2-3 years just to catch up to where it was :-\
