Why is my hair shorter on one side?

Each hair follicle and nail has its own blood supply. Under ideal conditions, improved circulation causes hair to grow more quickly. On the other hand, if medications and hormones are negatively affecting hair, having better circulation may slow hair growth noticeably on one side before the other.

Will my hair grow back if I cut it short?

The hair on your head grows about a half inch per month, or 6 inches per year. After a bad haircut, you can expect your hair to grow back at about this rate. If your hair was longer than shoulder-length and you got a really short bob, it can take several years to grow the hair back to where it was before.

How to tell which side of the hair is longer?

The side that grows slow is much rougher and the side the grows faster, longer is much silkier. It’s been like this all my life. So I stopped chopping off the longer side and just let it do what it do.

Does one side of your hair grow faster than the other?

No matter how many times my hair is evened up, one side just grows faster, longer. There is a big texture difference too. The side that grows slow is much rougher and the side the grows faster, longer is much silkier.

Why does trimming your hair make it shorter?

It seems counterintuitive, but by frequently trimming your hair, you’ll prevent breakage by removing the dead, fragile ends. When those ends split, they’ll eventually travel up your hair and break it off higher, leaving your hair shorter than before—and such was the case with my sad, sad locks.

How do you cut your hair so it doesn’t fall out?

If you’re growing out layered hair, trim the bottom of your hair so it stays short. Then, wait for the upper layers of hair to grow. If your hair is really short and you want to grow it out, try trimming it around your ears and at the back of your neck each time you get a haircut.
