Does cutting your hair frequently, make it grow healthy and long?
Written by Hair News Magazine
I am sure you have heard that if you cut your hair frequently, your hair will grow in faster, longer, and healthier.
Gobbledygook! This myth came from the observation of men’s facial hair. As they shaved, the facial hair would indeed grow in thicker. Its called, ‘puberty.’ This is because certain male hormones affect facial hair in that manner. They do not affect the hair on your head in the same way.
To the contrary. Male hormonal activity is what leads to hair thinning and loss on certain parts of the head, but not all. Hence the familiar balding pattern known as ‘male pattern baldness.’ This same hormonal activity also affects women, but not until much later in life, and in a different pattern.
Cutting your hair only makes it shorter, does not affect the growth rate
one iota,
and cannot determine the length that your hair will grow to. Maximum hair length is determined by the shape and width of the hair shaft, and that is determined genetically and is not alterable with current technology.
Lastly, hair is neither healthy or unhealthy. It is in fact, dead. Else, it would really hurt to cut it. It is the health of the hair follicle below the outer skin that requires nutrients for good health, and no adverse hormonal activity.
So, unless you have split ends or chemically damaged hair, the only need to cut the hair is for the look that you want. A few things that you can do to ensure that your hair follicle remains healthy and your hair is undamaged, are:
- Take an inexpensive daily multi vitamin such as ‘One-A-Day’ or even ‘Flintstones.’ Your hair likes zinc and biotin and both of the above mentioned vitmins contain ample amounts of these. Don’t waste your hard earned money on ‘super vitamins.’ Your body only requires so many vitamins per day and simply discharges the excess. You can’t put twenty gallons in a ten gallon tank. In some instances, over dosing on supplements can actually be fatal.
- Do not over brush your hair. With every stroke you damage your hair more. Brush only as much as you need to style the hair, then stop.
- Buy a good quality brush or comb without sharp plastic or metal ridges. This is one of the common factors leading to split ends, as is over brushing.
- Don’t be penny foolish. Buy good quality salon products. The chemicals used in many if not most over the counter shampoos and conditioners, contain very harsh ingredients such as ‘ammonium laurel sulfate’ which can actually dry your hair out and cause breakage and split ends. Even worse, many contain a form of silicon, and that can be very bad for your hair. ‘Pantene’ is the worst of these in our opinion.
- Don’t constrict your hair with tight bands, hats, braids and the like. These also lead to split ends and hair breakage.

sometimes people may not know when they steps in difficult trials they do not know what to do, so in the long run, it make it long and wide, but with the help of our Lord God it can solved by the advice of the mentors, pastor, and evangelist as adviser,He use this people as instrument so that this people may not go more in wrong way. so in Gods eyes He just stop in this way, to realized step by step on how it was started, and what would be the best way, that all may have peace in mind and even in our hearts.
In our quiet time we can talk to God, we can say what is in our hearts and minds and once we give it all, there is happiness inside us because God knows what we need is understanding , love and attention and what our God doing is to give us all His best and comfort us.
by His teaching all may realized the important of His word in all lives, with God you can have the real steps, real life, God will teach you how, in His teaching in your own self you will less those things ,that you think not good for you,you can say no , that you think it can give you best to your steps.you can buy some cd, about God, or any knowledge of understanding that can wide your thinking about life, it helps you to grow more like our hair never stop on one challenge but to walk more in this life, and you will learn this from the word of God that gives you strength , power because our God gives you understanding because you want to try to steps and He know at the right time you can be like His way.Dont be to rush
in learning the word,start first to know God, for the spirit comes on you He is and He knows what we can carry, so He teach us all steps by steps; for He teach first how to be patience in all trials that comes in all of our way
He teach us to be humble in every way of living and our God see this things in your life. and the next is situation of life, He is giving advice to reminds you what you are going to do. you Trust Him so even in the middle of the storm God is with you and guide you in all truth. for the word you apply is His word, that make you believe and have faith and you stand on it till the end because this word that make you save. he teach you to be on tough and have a brave heart as like He is.
* Choose the quality of brush or comb
the house that we built is on the rock even the storm comes our faith to God is 100%that we think the best that we can have all the right Journey because of His words gives you sign, it reminds always in your minds what steps you are going through as it said Mathew 7:24-25
therefore everyone who hear this word of mine and put them into practice like a wise man who built His house on rock, the rain came down, the stream rose and the winds blew and beat against the house, yet it did not fall because it had it foundation on the rock. for it means what ever trial comes we trust the Lord God in all of our hearts and souls , minds and strength that He is only our savior in times of challenge and this is the word of God as are salvation in the gospel. that we may think and observe that life with God you may have a sure steps.
for the word of God is already in us. we can say no to the people new in our eyes as it said Psalm 1:1-2 blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers but His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. because of his principle is like on the life of God to give light, life and love as our God do to us for He first loved us.
Focus to the word of God, because with His law is always in your minds and even in your steps and you may know all of your day is with God because the word is in you is the Holy Spirit of God as it said 1 Cor 2:12 we have not receive the spirit of the world but the spirit who is from God that we may understand what God has given us.
and the only way that you may have in real life is always with the law of God and your life will be fruitful,because you always want to be in the Lords steps, you always want to be with Him because only God who can understand all what is in our hearts and minds and even our dreams and plans in life but in the end God know what is the best…and here is ; He put us all in one place only in His place that we have all a big whole family with real love and understanding of everyone, that we may have cooperation and unity of minds only this place of God that we say is real life that all want to be is in Gods kingdom.
