My hair is Medium length. It used to be down my back... I used to twirl it and so that may have caused it to get shorter and I get a straight perm every 6-8 weeks. I want to continue do get a perm. I also get a trim every 12-14 weeks. How can I get my hair to be long again (it used to touch my elbows) ? I NEED HELP!!! I dont know if this will be as of any use but I am an African American and 1/4 white... just so you know my hair type :-). Please give me an answer soon!! I wanna get my hair to be long again as soon as possible!!!!

Ok. You need to cut down on the straight perms first of all. The oldest hair on your head is at the ends. All the chemicals are weakening your hair and causing breakage. You need to get your hair and scalp healthy again to ensure your hair grows long and stays long. Something you may want to try is giving your hair a break from the stress for a couple of months. Some suggestions:

1. Stop straigtening your hair for 6 months and find a style that works with your natural growth. After six months, have it straightened professionally. Do this again for 6 months. You will also be able to cut back on your trims. Everytime you straighten it (twice a year) your hair will be noticeably longer.

2. Get braided extensions. This allows your hair to grow and you won't need a relaxer. Get them re braided as needed. After 6 months to a year, relax your hair and enjoy the length.

3. Wear a wig. Once again, you won't have to relax your hair and you won't be stressing it. Plus with a wig you choose the length.

4. Get regular moisturizing treatments to keep your hair supple and not brittle and prone to breakage. Olive oil is perfect for our hair type.

5. lay off the hot appliances like flat irons and curlers. Use once a week, maximum.

You can't make your hair grow fast - hair grows at a natural rate. However if you can keep it healthy and stress free, it will appear to grow longer faster because it won't be breaking. And good for you if you stopped twirling, because that will break your hair too. Good luck.

Try using extinctions. If you want your hair shrait or curly get whichever type color and length you want.
