HELP!! Hair dresser chooped 5 inches off my hair! Hair care?

Okay, so I haven't had a hair cut for a few months tbh, I can't remember when my last hair cut was. I try not to go alot becuase I really want my hair to grow. I went for one today, jsut for a trim, and she said that my hair was really unhealthy, and it was breaking about half way up my hair (my hair used to get just below my bra strap)

She said that its so bad that a trim won't help at all, and in about a year, i may have loads of bald patches.

She said that it wont grow at all if i dont get it cut off, so, after i actually cried in the hairdresses, i agreed to get it cut off, now its about one inch below my shoulders. and I HATE IT!!!



So, I definatly dont want this to happen again, so I was just wondering if you could give me a few tips to care for my fine, thin, brittle hair.

I'm going to trynot to straighten it, or tie it up ina bobble, so do you have any styles which i could do without damaging my hair?



What should i do with my hair when im sleeping? Leave it down?



And what care tip can you give me for my hair?



And any tips to help make my hair grow faster?



I know this is alot, but thanks so much for answering this!HELP!! Hair dresser chooped 5 inches off my hair! Hair care?
To me it sounds like your hair is at a good length. I'm sure the same hairstyles you were using for the longer hair would work. Refrain from using hot curling irons, straighteners, and only use a blow dryer when you need it.



When you sleep, wrap your hair maybe in a scarf or something that can hold it up. If you wash your hair, DON'T LET IT AIR DRY!! That will break your hair off and causing it to make it thinner and shorter.



I wouldn't go to another hairdresser. I would stay with her. Obviously she knew that your hair was un-heathy and very damaged!



To make your grow, keep all split ends cut! Use a shampoo and conditioner for growth and damaged hair. Treseme' is really good! Keep your hair moisturized with a hair grease and oil sheen!



* If a person wants to do something to your hair, make sure they know what the heck they're doing!!

Yeah leave the heat off. Also deep condition at least once a week. Infusium 23 is great! Maybe you could try the wet look by washing, conditioning and then applying leave in conditioner.
You can get extensions.

They tend to look good with short hair.
hey

omg my hair was upto my waist and the stupid hair dresser cut off 6 inches

now its upto my boob:(

anyway to help it grow this is wat i do

1. dont strighten, blowdry

2. apply olive/baby oil atleats 3 times a wekk





and f the style i just take a bath, clip up my bangs and spray around a frizz control spary (alittle bit)

and every year hair grows 6 inchges so i guess just one more year!
First of all FIND ANOTHER HAIR DRESSER!!!!

as far as sleeping leave it down or braid it if you can( stimulates hair to grow)

care tips: fine thin hair use garnier fructis leave in conditioner makes your hair 5x stronger

shampoo: mane n tail make your hair grow faster and healthier ( yes! it is for horses but now also sold for humans)

if you can find it ';big thick hair'; my hair went from baby fine to really thick

My daughter and I have really long hair down to our waist. so good luck

trimming your hair 1/4- 1/2 inch every 6 months helps keep the dead ends off.
There is not try, there is only cold turkey no straightening. The fact that your hair was as bad as it was before is a major sign that straightening is a no-no now. I had literally singed a good portion of the bottom layer of my hair off when I stopped straightening.

For starters, it's easier to get ready for school. I can get more sleep in the morning and I'm not going to the hairdressers every few weeks to get the bad hair cut off.

Not straightening also makes hair grow faster than you would with it. So that's a major incentive if you want your long hair back. My hair grew so much over the summer than it did last summer, want to guess why?

You got it, no straighteners. Only do it on special occasions.

Condition condition condition! Need I say it one more time lol? Every time you wash your hair, condition it, maybe some leave in conditioner, deep conditioner, etc so that your hair isn't fryed whenever you do straighten.

My friend swears that hair grows longer when you braid it, but I've never done this so I can't tell you for sure.

Good luck, and just remember to take care of your hair.

Heat=bad.

Natural=good.
Well I hate to break it to you but if you want long hair you have to take care of it, a lot of women do not. You cannot make it grow faster despite what a lot of people are going to tell you, it is not that simple. Stop using drugstore shampoo and conditioner if you are , that stuff is really, really harsh and damages hair. Alsom avoid heat like the pklague, especially blow dryers. If you use the right shampoo/conditioner and product you can straighten it and style it without damage. Just take good care of it, and never tie it up unless you have to. Wash you shampoo out in lukewarm water and your conditioner out in cold water. Leave it down when you sleep.
