Hello
Wecome to HealthcareMagic.Having long hair, does not allow you to grow tall is probably a falacy. And since you are just 14, so unless hereditary factors do not hinder, and you are having proper nutrition, you should be attaining your normal height, A short hair or long one hardly matters. So cheer up and you can take pride in your long hair.
