Hair grows really slowly...

---

im not sure if this qualifies as a medical issue, but my hair is growing really slowly. Currently, my fringe ( or bangs, whatever ) stops about half an inch above my eyebrows. The hair on the back of my head is growing, it stops an inch above the ball-like bone at the bottom of my neck, and when i do nothing to my hair its kind of shaggy, and its certainly not short. But i want my fringe down to my mouth so i can have a nice emo hairstyle, can someone estimate how long it would take to get my hair at shoulder length? For like the hair growth of an average person. Thanks.

also, i dyed my hair with black permanent dye, and 2 weeks later its coming out. Is this normal?

Thanks, this advice is much needed

oh, it seems i posted this in the wrong section...sorry :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The rate of hair growth varies with different people, and can also be slowed down by a bad diet, but half an inch per month (six inches a year) is typical.A good permanent hair dye shouldn't come out in two weeks - that's a pretty poor dye.

bad diet? so, could it be acclerated slightly by a certain diet?

high protein? can you give examples of the kinds of meals you eat? thanks

rice and beans(has to be together), spinach, red meat-beef is the best i think. and u can take pills if u want or the bars or powder

Fish is great, particularily tuna. Milk is another good source of protein, along with soy products (tofu, soy milk, etc). Any type of meat really is high in protein.
