So, my boyfriend and I are having a disagreement about his hair. He's a black male with longish hair... He was putting perms in it, but didn't do the necessary maintenance required to keep it, so a lot of the hair in the back of his head broke off pretty noticeably. We can brush some of the upper hair to cover it when the hair is straightened, but otherwise you can tell its broken. Its incredibly shorter compared to the rest of his hair. His mother told him its best he gets it all completely cut and restarts the style, and just take care of it better this time - however this is not the main point of the question.
He is afraid that if he does not cut his hair, it will not grow back. I keep telling him that if he takes care of it, and keeps the maintenance up on it, it should grow back - perhaps uneven, but allowing it to grow, then cut it will allow him to keep the style (cause he doesn't really want to lose the style exactly.. This is hard to explain). The break isn't so bad it would be unsightly, it's just a fairly bad break. The argument in question is the fact that he is determined that the hair WILL NOT grow if he doesn't cut it. I told him the hair will, if properly maintained, grow eventually, but he argues with me, based only on the argument of "My Momma told me..."
So what is the truth of it, pros? Will the hair grow back, albeit perhaps uneven and slowly? Or is it completely doomed to never ever grow at all?
(Pictures are available if need be. Also, I am entirely aware of the fact that perhaps it would be "better" for him to cut it and completely restart, but he doesn't want to lose his style - the only reason he is even considering it is because he has the idea in his head that it absolutely will not grow if he doesn't. That, and its bloody cold in Michigan, and he gets cold easy, so the hair typically helps with that...)
Thanks, folks. c:
