Hi everyone!
Way back in February I posted about how weird my hair was acting. My hair is currently in layers (not by choice, it just grew that way) but as my old post says, it seems as if the growth in the back has slowed down dramatically whereas the front and crown growth has sped up quite nicely.
Does Hair Growth Slow for Catch-Up Purposes?
Well, it's almost been six months since I posted this and growth in the back is currently 1/4 inch per month (was 1/2 inch per month when I first went natural) and the growth at the top and crown is 1/2 inch per month (used to be 1/4-1/3 inch per month). It's not breakage (thank God!) because the ends in the back are in tip top shape.
One theory was that the hair in the back was just going through a resting phase but hair does not stay in a resting phase for 8 months.
Now I'm beginning to believe that my hair is growing out of these layers naturally in an effort to have the hair fall in the same place and the growth in the back will continue to be slow until the front catches up.
What do you guys think?
