I have bipolar disorder and just before Christmas when I was manic I decided it would be fun to cut my hair. Not just cut it, completely shave it off. Honestly guys, I was completely bald, no exaggeration. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew how quickly hair grows because it is still VERY short (as in it just about covers my head now, but as I'm a girl who did have very long hair that doesn't really help)

Sorry if this sounds stupid :(

Thanks for the help

Please help! I'm desperate! :confused:

Hair normally grows about 1/2 inch a month. But a little quicker in summer because of humidity. I hope it comes in quick for you.I am sorry to hear this happened.

There are certain vitamins you can take to make your hair grow longer, do a search in a search engine. Biotin is one example of a vitamin you could take.
I will try an reply later with some more details.

Make sure you get a fair amount of protein in your diet. Stimulate your scalp with massage. Research various supplements and include regular cardio-vascular exercise in your daily routine. It isn't a miracle cure but it can help a bit. Those are the main tips I have found over the years. And I know exactly how bad you must feel-hair is very important to me as well. It seems silly, but lots of us get upset over bad hair.

Try wearing a bandana, they look kinda cool, if my hubby shaves his hair it grows back pretty fast, bit like how quick the hair on your leg grows back! You must have noticed quite a bit of growth by now? Sorry for your condition, I suffer anxiety luckily the panic episodes have gone, best wishes from New Zealand.

best things for you to do are

eat a lot of protein (hair is made up of protein)
take a multi vitamin everyday
take Kelp tablets also, they containe iodine which helps hair grow faster
get lots of sleep(coz you hair hair grows mostly as you sleep)
and massage your scalp everyday

hope it grows back quickly

I know from my sister how you can do things when your maniac that you don't really mean. Your not stupid! Maybe if your hair grows another inch you could get hair extensions. I know their expensive but thats the only thing that I can think of right now besides a wig. Your hair will grow back :) Maybe some color? You can choose to be self expressive with color until it grows back. Be creative!

Thanks for all the advice. Julieanna- I think I will get hair extensions as soon as I can, probably in a month or so when it's grown long enough.

Still feel stupid, but thanks
