and my hair is about 4 inches all around
i feel like it is going slow and might cut off due to weather season.. any suggestions to help my hair?
If you want long hair it is a process that takes years. So forget about the weather. To "help" your hair is simple. If you want it long just don't cut it. Use a good shampoo and conditioner. Get a decent brush, a hat, some hair ties and bobbie pins and wait 2 years +.And read alot of the links that are here they give a lot of good advice on care and the dreaded awkward stage.
If your hair had grown during the winter you would have to take the hot weather sooner or later... I will have to wear my hair in braids and buns to survive heat myself, but you have to chose: a fresh haircut or long hair that you have to handle with. Long hair is better by the way ;)
