While this myth has been around for a very long time the answer is NO. Cutting your hair does not make it grow faster or longer.
However, what it does do is it cuts off the dry, damaged and split ends that make your hair appear thin and lifeless. Freshly cut hair will give the appearance of thick, healthy hair. For some people, this is the only way to get their hair to grow longer because their hair may be especially prone to splitting and breakage.
If you routinely wear hair clips or pull your hair back into pony tails you are damaging your hair, and the only way to eliminate this damage is to cut off the damaged portions and to try and treat your hair as gently as possible in the future.
