new thread
Hello everyone! I was thinking about growing my hair out just as a thought but then i came across this board and it was a definite confidence booster. Im happy to report that i have been growing out my hair for a month and i am not planning to cut it in the near future. Im posting my progress on my site http://www.geocities.com/sk8ar51388/lhp.html
Anyways.....My freind and i were talking and he pointed out that when he used Dep hair gel his hair grew like a weed, but now he stopped using it since his last haircut and it seems like its not growing or growing really slowly. My freind swares that his theory is true. Has anyone thought about this? Is it possible or is he just imagining things?
that's impossible about the gel...but good luck with your hair!
dang, thanks anyways guys i guess ill just have to be patient (hard as that is) but its kinda like going on a trip i guess, driving there is half the fun :)
Sorry about that last (blank) post....A slight slip of the old return key.
Anyway, given that active new hair production takes place from cells (roots) buried within the scalp, I don't think Gel (or any other styling product for that matter) will do anything to affect it's growth rate.
As short hair becomes longer, it can give the illusion that it's growth has slowed or even stopped!
A months hair growth on someone starting from a shaved head, even though it would be only around half an inch in length, would produce a very noticable change in their appearance over a relatively short period of time. By the same token, that same months half inch of extra hair on a person with it already down to their shoulders would be barely noticable.
Good luck with the growth, man. I checked out your URL and was amazed by the following: Believe it or not, not only did you make the decision to grow your hair out around the same time that I did approximately one year ago, but your first (and only, this far) progress pic isn't that far in resembelance to what I looked like with the kind of hair cuts I was getting over a year ago. In other words, looking at you was like looking at a mirror image of what I looked like one year ago. Conversely, I'm led to think that I probably look something like how you should turn out in the event that you stick with your vow and do your best to take care of your hair (That includes getting NO cuts!). Perhaps I'll post a pic to give you an indication... Would've done so anyway, but I didn't feel very compelled due to the severe lack of responses my posts have generated as of late (I figure I must've alienated myself from this board by commenting on Kurdt Cobain).
And not to discourage you, but if this summer is going to be as dreadfully unbearable as the summer of 2002 was, you're in for a HELL of a time... Stay strong, focused, and know that if you remain committed, you'll come out looking a lot more distinguished than you did before.
If you intend to report progress, you'd better find a handle more customized than that of "name"... Just a suggestion.
It's nice to have a progress record of your hair online...
Good Luck!
