Apparently your hair doesn't stop growing when

[Paie]

It gets to a certain length?
My hair has never grown longer than this- it's just past my shoulders.
As a child I had regular hair cuts to deal with split ends and "encourage growth".
I will now admit I very rarely have my hair cut nowadays, I cut my own fringe and the rest just doesn't do anything.
DP is convinced that I could have luscious long locks if I had regular hair cuts- I think otherwise. I don't think my hair will ever grow past this length!

I thought that hair length was genetic- much like type- you either have curly hair in your DNA or you don't.

So, mumsnet, who is right?
Am I denying myself of lovely long hair?

As I age the length of may hair shortens. I've started getting split ends, never before in my life, and grey hairs are more brittle. I've always had long hair. I can imagine a time when I am older that I will only be able to grow a bob.

Well I never. One of those things that is really obvious when explained but it had never occurred to me. I thought we would all have the same length if we never cut it but obviously that's not right. Fascinating!
