I had a situation last year where I had really bad breakage on the left side in the back (from over use of "cone" serum), the right side was the longest my hair had been as an adult =(.

I helped the situation along by using MN and jojoba oil nightly ONLY in the area where the breakage occurred ( massaged into scalp ), and went straight into braids for a month (almost 4 weeks, the MN/Jojoba had that back section looking raggedy with new growth)
After coming out of braids, I continued with the MN/Jojoba in the shorter section, wore wet buns or updo's (back part only) to hide the difference in length, and did dustings of the longer side every two to three weeks. The MN/Jojoba/massage caused the growth of the broken side to accelerate, and the dustings thickened the ends of the longer side.

After numerous CO washes, wet buns, braidouts and a PhytoI texlax (touchup 4/4/07 after 8 month stretch – Thanks for reminding me about the strand test Ladies!) - I think the two sides have almost met each other!
