Q: No matter what i do, I can not seem to grow my hair past shoulder length. My hair seems to be growing but it always breaks off at the same point. Please help!A. I had this same problem a few years ago. My hair seemed to be growing but I could not make it past shoulder length. I eventually realized that I was merely not retaining length. My ends were constantly rubbing up against my sweaters, coats and collars. The friction from this constant contact caused my ends to become dry and break off in the same exact spots.
What really helped me was 1) pinning my hair up more often in buns, twists and updos and 2) wearing my hair in curly styles. The updos helped protect my ends from friction and the curly styles helped shorten my hair so the ends would not graze my shoulders. These styles may help you retain more length and grow your hair past shoulder length. Also, try to moisturize your ends each night with a strengthening moisturizer like ORS Carrot oil to keep them hydrated and strong.
1. Great tips, I'll be sure to pass them along!
