My hair is bra length.  I'm growing my bangs out now.  They are finally getting managable, almost to ear length. I had blonde hair until last summer when I decided to go natural.  So now I have brown hair with a little gray in about 4 inches of the roots.  Someone told me it looks alright though.  It's very hard to go back to dark - it doesn't stick.  I've been seriously growing my hair for 6 months, but it was already past my sholders.  Bangs are the hardest part for my now.  I can't do much with the rest of it or my bangs will fall out.

My hair is at bra-length at the moment. I had to cut it september 2002 on shoulder length and from this point I´m letting it grow. I want to get waist-length again and to lose my layers. I hate them they make my hair look more thin than it anyway had become!

Because of massive hairloss.

It does not sound like you have much further for your bangs to grow before they will work into your styles.  One trick that works particularly well with growing out bangs is to french twist  the hair on each side to your ears or further, depending on what style you are going for.  I still do this when putting my hair in a single braid, pony tail, or half up.  I have a few picture of this in my hair styles album at http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?uid=771714

Keep it growing!

So sorry to hear you have suffered such hair loss.  Have the loss diminished?  Are you taking any vitamins/supplements to help you with your hair growth journey?

Well, I did read that if you cut your hair on the New Moon it causes it to grow faster as well as cutting your hair on the Full Moon will keep it the same length (helpful to my mother, who keeps her hair above her shoulders and layered so every centimeter that grows out shows). I don't know exactly how it works, but women have a strange connection with the moon, for instance, our periods. I wouldn't be surprised if this actually worked.

Don't worry, E. In October I also suffered *massive* hairloss, and I cut my hair to shoulder length at the end of the month. I realised that the reason for this was because I was not eating, I literally... wasn't eating. I'm vegetarian and no one else in my family is so it's hard to get the proper nutrients, especially protein. Anyway when I realised what my anorexia was doing to my poor hair , firstly I cut it so that it would grow back healthy. Then I began to eat properly, I also take a multivitamin every day. I don't eat junk food at all (what a waste of being 14!!) and I only eat sugar minimally and only on weekends. For my meals I eat vegetable "bhaji" which is just an Indian mix of vegetables with "chappati" which is thin, round bread. This gives me my vegetables and carbohydrates. I make sure I drink a lot of water, and also eat a lot of fruits. Every day I have a glass of milk and an egg (for breakfast). I have a medium framed figure, so I would never look fat, but often when I go out I wear what's called a lengha or a sari which reveals the stomach. This made me want to exercise more so I do sit ups every day as well as run on the treadmill, and I have to run a mile every week in school.

After this new program of eating healthy and taking care of my body, my hair began to grow super fast, it's mid-back length already! It's also extremely healthy, never tangles and also it never... ever... falls. Not even one strand. So remember, treat your body well and your hair will appreciate it!! 

Wow you are so lucky to have hair that long, Ginny!! Is your hair straight, wavy, or curly, and what color is it? Do you have any tips for growing hair?
