Hair bleach and growth miracle???

For the longest time, my hair was stubborn and wouldn't pass my shoulders by more than a couple inches, even when I kept it natural, used fancy shampoos, ate healthy, etc.

Then when covid-19 hit, I decided life is short and I bleached my hair and dyed it salmon pink. Then a funny thing happened... It began to grow! Since bleach isn't really good for hair, it stumped me as to how this could have happened. Is there some happy accident that comes along with *completely destroying* the ph balance of your scalp?

Anyone know?
