Wow! (grandmothers) I had long hair as a child, and off and on I have had a pretty decent length of hair (at least to the shoulders). Usually, my back will grow a little past my shoulders, and the sides would at least reach my shoulders, but my front wouldn't. Then, all of a sudden, the front and sides were growing and the back stopped growing. Then, all of it broke. What da deal? I finally cut it all off when I was told about this site and I started getting a little discouraged when I started seeing that all these people with long hair started with pretty long hair. I was wondering if I could actually grow my hair long again, hoping I hadn't made a big mistake!
