THIS is how YOU Grow Long Hair Quickly! - Does Blonde Fade?! & What About Split Ends?!

[@ItsLoriK]

I can't believe even one adult questioned if hair grows from the scalp or the ends! Seriously?

[@TheQShow53]

Lori K right! Hellooo 🙄

[@charrison7704]

I know someone that still believes it grows from the ends and she is 31 lol

[@Ellebangs]

Adam said the same thing but I have been asked this quite a few times, why I thought it was time to address it.

[@foxylady9110]

Someone once asked on another channel if she could wash out her newly bleached blonde hair so she could go back to her natural colour, she wanted to use a colour removal kit.......lol

[@xan8185]

Lol!!!! Crazy but sometimes people just really don't know. My brother at 17 believed girls were born with earring holes on their ears! I looked at him like dude what planet are you from, were we raised in the same house!? You just never know what seems common sense to us isn't to someone else.

[@Dakiniwoman]

My experience... For 15 years I got my hair "trimmed" 4 times per year in an attempt to let it grow long...My hairdresser just trimmed off the ends each time. I have very fine hair. It never grew very much at all so I was left with shoulder-length hair. Then I decided to not get it cut at all because I was so frustrated at not having long hair. So for the past four years I have not had it cut at all and finally it is now waist length and I really love it... so I am continuing to let it grow... In my mind, Long hair is when you can sit on it... I am still trying to get long hair... It is now all-natural almost pure white and I love it so much! I am 73 years old...

[@Dakiniwoman]

Leeana... You are making me smile... When my hair was that long... years ago, I never found it a problem... Now, I have learned how to use hair sticks and so I can put my hair up that way and it's quite remarkable how much I am enjoying it... My niece has hair that is almost down to her ankles right now... I can't imagine how she is managing with 4 small children and she wears her hair down most all the time...

[@lilysmiles3195]

Long hair should be super healthy full of volume shine and vitality. Hair that you can sit on that’s not been trimmed? I guess if you love it then it’s ok for you

[@leeanamyers0820]

@@lilysmiles3195 I have always taken great care of my super, long hair (it is very healthy and comes to my butt). The reason I made that statement is because one of my life-long friends actually did that and I saw it happen along with hearing her neck pop. AND when I personally say a trim, that goes for both a cut and actual trim.. Sorry if I confused you!

[@sophieb3905]

​@@lilysmiles3195 Technically, long hair "should be" the way it grows, without being messed around with too much, as that is what what would happen in nature. If you don't like that, that is fine - I'm not really into hair that is much longer than waist length, when dry, personally and I have my hair highlighted; so, I'm not just leaving it totally natural, myself. However, to say hair "should be" a certain way, when you actually mean that we have been told it should be a certain way, by a commercial industry, is wrong. It "should be" whatever it is naturally.

I’m an artist. When you talked about using purple on the yellow hair to make darker, I thought about how you can mix purple, yellow, and white to make blonde hair when painting a portrait. So it has the same effect. Just thought that was interesting 😊

[@-Lily7415]

This is my truth - I had my hair cut into a shoulder length bob over 10 years ago. After having it that way for a year ,I told my hairdresser that I want to grow it long .Every 2 months I would go back for a “ trim” and every time she would say that in order for you to grow your hair I have to cut as much as I did .Well let me tell you for NINE YEARS my hair was one length but barely past my shoulders. I finally stopped going to her and in a years time my hair is now half way down my back is long and healthy. Now when I get my hair trimmed I show these scissor happy hairdressers with my fingers exactly how much to take off and tell them to shush when they want to take off more. My hair is healthy and shiny and long!

[@TheMichelleCopley]

For possibly 4 years I have been search and destroying split ends weekly, my hair has never been healthier and longer...honestly I can’t believe it. You speak the truth!

[@elizabethstevenson2624]

This is exactly what I wanted to hear! Too many people on KZbin always say to cut the ends for growth but they don’t actually explain why and maybe they don’t even know it themselves. It’s great to know there’s at least someone who knows the logic behind it!

[@KarenPrudensLetsStitchMakeup]

I never knew about dusting before until my daughter became a hairstylist. I had gone to many stylists in my life and never had a stylist offer a dusting or heard anyone ever talk about it. But when my 17 year old daughter went to school to become a hairstylist she found out from another stylist. So I get a dusting done from her and my hair has grown so much and is very long. I love getting a dusting besides my split ends cut. She now is a barber and loving it! Thanks for answering all the different questions that people don't normally get to ask a stylist or are to embarrassed to ask. 😊

[@gspice71]

I never understood why trimming or dusting hair frequently, allowed the hair to grow longer until your explanation. Thank you! 👍🏻

I’m SO excited to have learned about dusting. I’m always so stressed about having to trim my hair. I’m trying to grow it out long so I know I need to keep it healthy but now I’m definitely gunna start having dusting done between trims!

[@AndieeGrl]

No one has ever explained hair growth and upkeep like you just explained. I love it. Thank you my dear!

[@NikZiadee]

Aww the first explanation was so sweet and compassionate.

[@RLSCS]

This is the best explanation for split end care that I have ever heard. Thank you.

[@SteffieeGee]

My hair grows so slow when I cut it often it doesn’t keep the length. For me it’s better to hold off on trims. It’s the only way I can actually get more length. I’ve try both methods and cutting to often really keeps my hair short

[@juliettedraper]

Maybe you just have a shorter terminal length??

[@sugrandspyce]

Same here.

[@johanna2690]

Juliette Burgon Everyones hair grows endlessly. There is no terminal length when your hair just decides to stop growing. The roots don't care how long your hair is. It's the same for fingernails. It's not like our bodyhair that just grows to a certain length.

[@johanna2690]

My hair also grows super slow. I'm now 24 and I got it almost to my butt. I never got anything else then trims. So it's crazy! I get trims when I see the first splitends. In the past I got regular trims and couldn't get it below my bust. But since I'm super good to my hair, no Color or heat and good products I can go with less trims and get it longer and longer. It's sometimes just how you are born. My sister had shoulderlength hair when she was 3. At that age only my scalp was covered with a few locks😅 When your hair grows slow you need to find the Balance to get it longer. Of course when your hair brakes off you need to cut it. But don't have unnessesary trims when your ends are still healthy

[@danielas.5939]

@@johanna2690 Hair Growth Phases Anagen (Growing Phase) The anagen, or growing, phase usually lasts 2-7 years, and the length of this phase determines the length of our hair. Catagen (Transition Phase) This is the transitional phase that lasts about ten days. ... Telogen (Resting Phase) ... Exogen (Shedding Phase) So yes. If your growing phase is pretty short and I that time your hair doesn't grow as fast as some others and you have to get trims because of split ends.... Your hair never makes it down to your butt. Like mine for instance

[@samanthapetersen7058]

My hair is past half way down my back. The key is getting trims every 6 weeks at least. I used to go a year without trimming but the ends would be sooo damaged by then that I’d have to chop inches off. My hair is so long and healthy bc of the trims. It works, do it!

[@j4blaser]

Everything she said about growth Nf breakage is so true!! I have fine, dry, naturally curly/wavy hair and it does grow...but it breaks like crazy. I haven’t had a trim in a year (stupid, I know) and it is literally still the same length, if not SHORTER in some places. 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️ Get your trims!

[@Noogsie_47245]

Regarding dusting... As a kid, we would twist our hair into thin twists. All the shorter hair stuck out in every direction. We could then easily trim them. Easier and quicker than what you demonstrated.

Thanks for explaining the hair trim/growth. I went to get touch ups on my roots a few weeks ago and my hair dresser told me my roots were a little more than 4 inches. I thought she was wrong because the last time I had my highlights was around 5 months before that. That would mean my hair grew pretty fast but I definitely didn't gain that 4 inches in length. I knew I had major roots but I thought she was crazy telling me it was that much, it didn't make sense! Lol... P.S - I live in L.A. and NEED to go see you in the new year.

[@BunnyLang]

As someone who helps my friends with their hair, I can completely understand how the prices can differ based upon the hair you're starting off with, and the non-guarantee of what will happen once you have to... dig deep. I don't charge my friends, it's a friend thing,. But I know for sure, it's the cost of product, hair remover/bleach/moisture. conditioning, color, and if one's hair is thick, more color is needed. It's the time it takes and the ability to be able to tell what color is most complementary, blue? What shade of blue... There is so much a hair dresser can do if they know what they are doing. I've had 2 wonderful hair dressers/colorists in my life. Yes, it cost more, but I didn't feel like I needed to rush home and fix anything. Which if you pay a chain store price and rush home to fix it, you will spend a great deal of money on product, even the same amount of money you would spend on getting it done right in the first place, vs. buying product to fix it yourself. However, just because someone charges more does not mean they can do the job. I prefer references. And also feel portfolios are essential to prove to your clients, you can do, this, this, this, this, and this.
