Ok, so we have been having this ongoing discussion lately at work. Basically, a coworker of mine was talking about how your hair "knows" when it has been cut. When I asked her to explain she was like, "Think about it. Whenever you shave the hair on your legs, your hair knows to grow back. Because immediately after you shave, those hairs will grow. So the hair knows whenever you have cut it, to grow."
At first I was like, "hair grows regardless". And she like "no, because if you go months and months and months without shaving your legs, what happens? The hair grows to a certain length and then stops. But again, if you cut it, then it knows to grow back. So there is a connection there."
She was also saying that once you cut the hair, it INITIALLY grows back at a faster rate than normal. So she is against me trying to go a whole year without a trim. She was like, "I get my hair trimmed every 6 weeks or so. If you want your hair to grow/grow faster, you should trim it more often, not less often". This is based on the above "theories"/conversation.
I am not sure what to make of all this. Do you think hair grows at a FASTER rate initially once it's been cut? What really got me thinking was that I was looking through Loveyaforever/redhotlala's album the other day and if you've seen her hair you know it's ridiculously long (and beautiful) In her regimen it says she flat irons her hair every 14-21 days and dusts it each time she does this. So alot of her hair is being cut (dusted) 1-2 times a month, which is really frequent to me. I know dusting takes off a tiny amount of hair, but I couldn't help but wonder if she experiences the whole "faster growth" thing and if this has contributed to her maintaining such wonderful looooooonnnnnnnng hair.
What are your thoughts?
