My hair grows in a "W." The sides grow in longer/faster than the middle. That may be largely due to the fact that I heavily sleep on either side and not on my back. I used to get frustrated and cut my hair even because I loved the blunt-cut look, but in the last few years I have just let it grow HOWEVER. As long as its growing, I'm thankful.

Is anyone else growing in uneven?

I cut my hair in Oct. 08 because it was looking thin and uneven and I recently cut my bangs and hair again for the same problem. I don't know what's going on but maybe it has something with the fact that I sleep on the slow growing side the most. I'm gonna have to change that up.

I'm not sure. I think it's hard to tell what grows the quickest unless you bring the measuring tape out. My first thought was to say my nape because it is APL meanwhile the front and middle are between NL & CBL. However, they're probably that length because of where they are located on my head. The sides are about APL too. What I'm almost sure of though is that the middle grows a tad slower.

I am finding out my hair grows fastest on both sides b/c I sleep on my back to much. I have to change my sleep postion...

my back of my head grows faster. My hairline and sides seem to take forever to grow
I'm sooooo tired of this ...this has to be the million dollar question ...WHY?
I people have said that things on the left side get more blood supply so grow more. IDK if it applies to hair though.

wow, i thought i was the only one. the back and middle of my head grows the fastest, but my sides grow slllooowwwwllly. lol. and after looking at some pics, my left is always shorter than the right. i was trying to figure out why i'd made so little progress till i figured out that my stylist was constantly "trimming" (more like cutting) my hair to keep it even. i've decided to go on a 6 month personal challange with no cutting or trims, and see where i'm at then. i'm not sure if the left side grows slower, or if it just always broke off, so it appeared shorter. i always wrapped my hair, so wondering if that was part of the culprit. but i agree, i have alot of ng everywhere else, except my sides and edges. it's weird.

The front and crown of my hair grows fast. I wish my hair grew evenly.

this is happening to me, normally it's not noticeable and grows more even, but this time around there is a huge difference, my left side front is full apl while my right side is a bit above it.
i'm thinking of cutting it to even it out, I don't have patience to wait for it to even out if it does

My front has always grown longer/faster than the back of my head.
Now on top of that, my right side is running some type of sprint. It is soo much longer than the right side. I keep cutting it even and it grows back longer every time.
I've been trying to figure out a way to combat this for some time now. I'm going to start sleeping on my right side and see if that helps.

Mine is the same way...AND I always have a gap on the back left side of my ends. My stylist always cuts it (I end up losing about 2-2.5") to even it out and it grows back the same way.

My right side does the same thing
I am constantly cutting INCHES of my hair to even it up, but I am leaving my wayward ways behind. The ladies are growing on me. I'm going to try stretching and not clipping...pray for me

my hair has always grown in uneven. it pains me when stylists cut it, for it to do the same thing all over again.

My hair is growing uneven due to a crazy chop I did. lol, So I won't wear my hair down until the hair grows in more fully. I did some MEGA snipping over the past 6 months.

Yes I've felt a ton of new growth in my nape/hairline since getting a relaxer 2 months ago but none in the back.
One of my old beauticians told me that the side that you sleep on grows slower than the other. When I sat in her chair and she first looked at my hair she was able to tell me what side I slept on!!I had to actually think about it, but she was right. Why? Idk, maybe the follicles are smothered by the weight or something. Maybe an expert hair stylist can elaborate on this.
