Hello everyone. I'm wondering how long hair takes to grow back after its been cut really short. I would appreciate any replies.

    Some people grow hair faster than others. It will take as long as it takes.

    My hairdresser says about a half inch to an inch a month. I've heard taking prenatal vitamins can help it grow faster but it's a rumor. I'm not swearing to that. My hair started falling out in the fall and stopped in December and I have about 3 inches of new growth if that helps.

    1/4 inch to 1/2 inch per month. I heard biotin may help, it's just a vitamin.

    LOL!

    But I've heard about 1/4 in per month but that's if you take care of it. Some people's hair grows faster than others though. Good luck. :blush:

    About half an inch a month. The back of mine grows faster than the rest, my hair dresser said it was because of extra heat. I dunno, but I will end up with a mullet if I don't stay on top of it. The location of speedy growth can vary from person to person, so the sides or front could grow faster.

    I judge my growth based on hair dye grow out. Had it colored on Easter Sunday, so a little over a month. I have a little more than 1/4 inch of grow out. So I'm perhaps on the slower side?
