    Default How long does it take hair to grow?

    I've had long hair all my life but since going blonde my hair has been destroyed and it's now only shoulder length - it makes me cringe. It's also really thin.

    How can I make my hair healthy again? It's brittle and keeps breaking.

    Would it be best to go back to brunette?

    I have hair extensions because I cannot bear to look at my real hair right now. They are the type of extensions that just have the metal things - the individual ones.

    How long will it take to get my hair half way down my back again and not be so thin?

    When you go in for highlights does your stylist apply the bleach scalp to ends every time? If so, find a new stylist... he or she should only be applying decolorizer to the outgrowth. Overlapping bleach causes serious damage and always results in breakage.

    Your stylist should also be recommending in salon protein treatments during your service visits and an at home protein treatment you can use for maintainence.

    You're also going to need a serious cut...

    You can go back to brunette... if done with a demi permanent color, it is very gentle to the hair. However, it will not address the damage that's already happened- breakage will continue. You'll still need protein treatments and a cut.

    On average, hair grows 1/2" per month.

    Are you a double-process blonde (bleach and tone) or heavy foils? The all-over blonde is MUCH more damaging imo. Coverting to foils may really help avoid the major damage.

    The products used can make a difference as well. I just switched from a Redken salon to an Aveda and their toners and rinses seem to be much kinder to my hair (bleach seems about the same), also I'm converting to heavy foils right now and after just a couple months can tell a huge difference.

    All-over blonde thinned my hair out terribly, probably because no matter where I go they seem to always irritate the hell out of my scalp, sometimes even leaving blisters. Before we moved from Jersey down south, this never happened, now, it's like I live in the "land of the bleach blondes", but they all must do it at home, because the salons are mostly clueless about a double-process.

    Do you straighten your hair? I have blonde hair and extensions, and TBH I think what causes the most damage is my GHD.

    I think it's actually causing my hair to get shorter every month, especially around my face.

    Nah very rarely straighten my hair coz it's pretty straight already.

    I have a full head of foils but the hair on the top is all that I get coloured coz the extensions hide the re-growth. I only ever get my roots coloured not the ends ever!!

    My hair grows fast. Hair grows faster in warmer weather. Maybe you could try vitamins? I do think the advice about the stronger dye products is true, prob. more so for the condition of your hair than the growth. Try a scalp massage. Also, they make these types of 'serums' for your hair that are supposed to stimulate growth. You apply them to the scalp only. Di Cesare, (HSN.com), Phytologie (Nordstrom), & there's more but those are two I can think of. Good luck.
