Bangs

What is the best way to grow out bangs? How can you "make" them "catch up" with the rest of your hair?

I had bangs about 2 years ago (see siggy photo). I basically had to just be patient and wait....... erplexed But when i discovered mtg last August, all of my hair started to grow faster overall.

I actually thought about getting bangs again, because i miss them. But reading this post now reminds me of that annoying in-between stage when they were too long to wear in my face, and too short to swoop to the side.

I'm growing mine out now and it has been a pain in the ***. I usually twist them and secure them back with a clip. They are finally well beneath my chin now and I hope it won't be long until I can put them in with my bun/ponytail. I use a natural butter on them before twisting. As irritating as it has been, they've grown more quickly than I expected.

I have had bangs since 1997 and my bangs (no matter what I do to them) grow about 2 inches per month. I curl them, slick them down, blowdry them, and flat iron and they are still perfect. I dont understand why that is. I can do all the damage I want to them and they are still nice and straight w/ no split ends. I never understood this because its been like this since I was younger. Just be patient with them and they will grow. It seems like my bangs grow quicker than the rest of my hair. Maybe try using MN on just your bangs.

Yeah, that is so odd, but i've noticed the same thing. Bangs do grow back quickly and catch up with your own hair.... almost lends credence to the argument that trimming helps to grow hair. And i am one who does NOT believe that trimming helps speed up growth. Its quite bizarre, is what it is.

Somebody posted an article a while back about how your hair (like most other things) seeks homeostasis/balance. So, when you have layers or bangs, the longer parts begin to grow more slowly and the shorter parts may grow more quickly in an attempt to achieve balance. For this reason, blunt cut hair is supposed to be the healthiest and fastest growing. Don't know if it's true...but it makes sense.

Hmmmm, that theory of homeostasis is REALLY interesting. I can certainly understand and appreciate that idea.... it makes a lot of sense.

That's the idea with the Trimming/Dusting Increase Hair Growth thread I started. Although I haven't tested this theory, many ladies have experienced faster growing hair when trimmed or dusted. Hair (or body) seeking balance does make sense.
