My hair never grows evenly. The back of my hair is always longer than the front. It just grows that way. This girl at my job told me I need to cut my ends because they are thin. When I put my hair in a pony tail the longest part is never full like the top of the pony tail.
I wonder how I can get my hair to grow evenly. I have had my hair cut evenly but the back of my hair always outgrows the front. I see some people on the train and they have such nice thick hair. I don't have a lot of hair density. My hair is not super thin but it is not real thick. Does anyone else have this problem with see through ends.

SBaker,
Do you think maybe the back seems longer because your hair *is* growing evenly? My theory is that our heads are sphere-shaped so unless the hair on top or in front grows considerably faster than the back (i.e., unevenly), the hair in back will usually be the first to reach shoulder/shoulder blade/brastrap length. Until the rest of the hair on other parts of your head start to catch up, the fastest growing part will look thinner...but when the other parts catch up, the added layers will make the back part look thicker.
...I dunno...maybe I'm just babbling.

This makes a lot of sense because if I measure each area of my head from the roots to the end my hair grows the same length all over. If I parted it down the middle and combed down the sides and back it would be layered and no longer "one length". If my hair happened to be all one length this would mean certain areas were longer than the rest like the top. I'm hoping eventually(God-willing)that once my hair reaches beyond midback I can keep trimming to midback to let the top catch up with the rest in hopes of making my hair look thicker.
