BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Hair Bob or Shag?

Jessica,

Regarding long hair that stops, I have read that this is primarily due to the condition of the hair. At a certain point the weight is too much of a stressor and the hairs break, making the hair growth seem to stop at whatever length.

Supposedly not brushing too vigorously, conditioning more and avoiding other instances that physically stress the hair will help achieve greater length.

Everone's hair has a point where it will grow and be healthy.(Different for each of us) Beyond that point, the hair gets 'old' and will break, split, frizz and just be funky hair. Floor-bound, not worth keeping. :rolleyes:
Jessica, you are fortunate to have fast growing hair and that you can get it as long as you do.

I think that terminal point 'shortens' as we age, have babies, health problems, etc.
There are several articles on the Hair site that deal with keeping healthy hair. You will find them in the Site Map under Health.

These two styles are not really my type of styles but the shag style looks better than the bob style to me (had to open a new window to find pictures of the shag hairstyle because i had no idea what that was ).

The bob has been around for a long time - longer than the shag - and keeps returning to fashion.
I love the layered bobs worn with big messy waves.
