Hair Grows to Half Inch, Then Falls Out

Well I have a question. I’m trying to grow my hair, this is my third time trying, but when ever I get to a certain length it just stops’ growing and it starts falling out. I’m a 23year old African-American male. I don’t have a receding hair-line and its just weird that when my hair gets to be about half an inch it just start falling out. I have used and still use all of the “DO GROWN” products, and still I can not figure out why my hair falls off. I wash my hair once a week, I always put SULFER8 twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I don’t know what to do. Can you help me??

Generally, hair has a cycle that lasts from 2-6 years in my experience. I have always believed that if you let your hair grow out to its full length, take that length and divide it by 1/2 (in inches) and you will get the hair cycle. In your case, if your maximal growth is 1/2 inch, then that would tell me that your hair growth cycle is 1-2 months. If you hair grew slower, then the cycle could be longer.

I have questions for you:

1. Does it grow to 1/2 inch everywhere, or just in one area?
2. What about the hair around the sides and back?
3. With African hair, the length must reflect the straight hair for the calculations above. If you hair is wiry, then you may not be measuring length, but perhaps height. How are you measuring that it is 1/2 inch length?

Practing medicine over the internet is not an easy eask when I can not examine you directly. Miniaturization metrics through mapping your scalp would be a helpful thing for me to do, to help you understand what is happening on your head.
