      How do I get my hair to grow that fast?

      My hair isn’t quite that long after 2 years. (Probably 3 or 4 inches shorter than that image.)

        I don’t understand the science nor do I know the facts.

        But the rumor i heard is that if you get your hair trimmed every few months or so, it can help make your hair grow longer. I think it’s because the hair grows longer to try to heal itself or something.

        I just get periodic trims and like how long my hair is currently. ( I’m about shoulder length right now, although I wouldn’t mind if it was longer. )

        Again, I could be wrong. Idk how the magic works exactly.

          I can help. Hair dies after it grows out of the hair root, deep in the follicle. Cutting it won’t change the rate of growth as there’s no way for dead cells to signal that anything has changed.

          Periodic trims eliminate split ends, so the hair breaks less frequently. That’s all it is.
