I regret cutting my hair..

I donated almost a foot of my hair back in June and I’m still hating myself for it. I was told that the stylist would contact me in a few days to see where I wanted to donate my hair. My hair holds water so I gave her a week and then forgot about it. I still haven’t heard anything from her and it’s been almost 2 months now.

I started taking prenatal vitamins so it will grow faster because I am so upset without my long hair. Any ideas welcome!!! I try not to use a lot of heat because I do have a natural wave/curl, but I hate the way it looks rn.

... Read moreDonating hair is a generous act, but the adjustment afterwards can be challenging, especially when expecting a certain outcome or follow-up communication from your stylist that doesn’t happen. If your stylist has ghosted you after your hair donation, it’s important to reach out again directly or consult the salon manager to ensure your donation was properly processed and to clarify where your hair was sent. Hair that holds water, like wavy or curly hair, can often appear shorter when dry, so being patient with regrowth is key. Taking prenatal vitamins, as you’ve started, is a proven method to support hair growth because they often contain biotin, folic acid, and other nutrients essential for healthy hair follicles. Additionally, consider incorporating a balanced hair care routine that avoids excessive heat styling to maintain your natural wave or curl pattern without causing damage. Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners fortified for strengthening hair and promoting scalp health. Applying deep conditioning treatments and using leave-in conditioners can help improve texture and appearance during the regrowth phase. If styling is a concern, experimenting with curl-enhancing creams or light mousses can help define your natural waves and give your hair a more polished look while growing out. Avoid heavy products that weigh down your hair or cause buildup. Finally, connect with online support groups or forums centered on hair donation and regrowth. These communities can offer emotional support and practical tips from those who have navigated similar experiences. Remember, hair growth varies per person but combining proper nutrition, gentle care, and patience will lead your hair back to its healthy, beautiful state.

You can do Biotin twice a day. It worked for me when I lost a lot of hair after a surgery. It grew back thicker, faster, and way healthier
