Growing Bangs Longer

Hi,
I am looking for something that can make my front hair (bangs) grow longer. I am a 32 yeard old male and in the very front my bangs grow to the tip of my nose. But going along the hairline to either side, the side bangs are extremely short - probably only a half an inch.
So what I need is something that can make my frontal hair grow long - I'm thinking about 6 inches or so. I know hair has a predetermined length it can reach. But there has got to be a way to alter this in some way, shape or form. Because when I was younger I was able to grow longer bangs, why can't I now if hair has a predetermined length then I should be able to achieve the length I used to get when I was younger.
I want to eventually obtain the look Antonio Banderas had in Desperado. Growing out the back hair and sides is no problem....but the bangs is.
Thank you for your help.

I am quiet sure that your predetermined length is much much longer than the tip of your nose. You just need to leave it alone and let it grow. I've never heard of hair terminal that short. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe all you need to do is wait it out. Peace!!!!!

OK, I am letting it grow. BUT, my concern is the frontal hair to the SIDE (ie. not the hair that hangs over my ears....I'm talking about the bangs 2-3 inches along the hairline to the left or right of the very front/middle)....it is only growing maybe a half an inch and that's it...and I haven't touched it in probably 2 years).

First, there is nothing scientifically proven that nakes hair either grow faster or even grow at all. So let's not even discuss that.
Secondly, the hair at the bangs is the weakest hair there is. On me, for example, I have some "bang hairs" that never get longer than maybe two inches. Fortunately, many get much longer. But even the ones that get long never get as long as the hair on the back or sides. I try to have one length all around, but that hair that grows in the "bangs area" is never, ever anywhere near as long as the rest of my hair. While the back got to waist length, my bangs never got below maybe nipple length.
And it's that way with most people...men and women. It's just the most fragile hair.

It may be that nature intends that. Shorter hair will fall in your face, and when it does, it traps warmer air around your face that you've exhaled, and this keeps you warm. You don't want gobs of hair to do this or you couldn't see, and only a small amount of hair is needed anyway, to create a boundary between the two air masses. So a solution is to just have the first centimeter or so back from your hairline grow too short to keep out of your face. Irritating, but probably practical in the wild.

All I am saying is I have no problem growing out the sides and back hair. But when it comes to the frontal hair (ie. bangs), they just don't seem to want to grow anywhere past a couple of inches (and on the side frontal hair right on the hairline it only grows about a half an inch).
I want to have longer hair all the way around and not just the sides and back. If I don't do something about getting the front hair to grow out more than I'd end up with a Mullet...not something I want to do.
