I recently complained about my hair not growing past a certain point and now I really just want to chop it all off 🙄. #justladythings #hairstr

I started doing rosemary oil scalp massages once a week and have finally been growing back some length. I lost a lot over the stress of the pandemic. I've always regretted doing the big chop when I was angry about it not being long.
(Chops can be really cute and great, but not when annoyed about lack of length already.)
Good luck fellow lady with hair and impulses around said hair!
Lol, glad you get it 🫂 I'm of the mind that it's just hair and it grows back. It just seems to get to a certain point and stalls out. I dream of hair down to my butt, but I have no idea what I'd do with it 😂. I'm firmly in the let it do what it wants camp and most times it's just in a side braid...but that luscious long hair dream 🥰
hair does stop growing at a certain point. it's called terminal hair length and it's different for everyone depending on genetics. it's based on the natural cycle of the hair follicle where it grows for a period of time then stops growing and maintains, and then ultimately it falls from the follicle, naturally.
for some people it is very very long and for others it's not that long. you can't really do much to grow your hair longer than your terminal length. what you can do is protect and nourish your hair so that it doesn't prematurely break mid strand.
my hair is long, past my butt. I think it's hit terminal length now but we'll see.
This makes sense. Mine hits where my bra band is and never gets any longer. I've tried upping my protein and my nails grow like crazy but that's it for my hair, it just gets really healthy looking. I do have to say that I don't really lose much even after my pregnancy it stayed thicker. I also have pretty fine hair, So I feel like that reinforces the genetics, too. Sigh, we always want what we don't have 😂. Enjoy your crazy long hair 🫂
