Hell no. The natural hair movement has proven that everybody can grow hair out of their own scalp. Stop wearing other people's hair and just grow your own.
I swear, you guys forget that hair takes FOREVER to grow. When I say I want something (especially beauty wise) I want it now.
And who's to say they don't have "long hair" anyway? Hair extensions doesn't equal bald/short hair.
Also, it's not other people's hair once they decide to chop it off, and have it sold. It belongs to whoever buys it.
Calipoppy, are you a hair care specialist or do you know my mom?
i find it a bit arrogant that you think you know my moms hair better than herself.
She used expensive products but still couldn't let it grow and you insist it is her own fault. Ever heard about genetics and some people just have bad hair genes?
I have a friend, she has very long hair, almost reaches her butt, never uses any products, only cheap shampoo. No conditioner. Superhealthy and shiny hair. Not due to great care - just awesome genetics.
I have curly hair, somewhere between 3a and 3b, that is super fine. No one believes it but the vast majority of people with curly hair have extremely fine hair as well. That is why as a group we typically have a hard time growing out our hair, especially if we process.
BUT, even those of us with superfine hair CAN grow out our hair. We have to stop processing (does your mom color her hair in anyway?) and applying heat (no iron, no blow dryer, etc, just air drying) and switch to sulfate free products. If your mothers hair still "breaks" she should see a doctor because that is indicative of a deficiency of some kind.

I disagree IMO its just genetics nothing more. Some people have bad skin, others bad hair & others weight issues despite eating healthy.
IMO her mother seems to just have bad hair. I have bad nails. I have to go to the moon & back for my nails to grow. It happens.

Who cares what your opinion is when we have facts?
Low vitamin c, anemia, low copper, etc are all much more likely than something like Sabrina's syndrome or trichothiodystrophy (two of only a handful of known causes of genetically brittle hair) which have even more serious symptoms.
