Everyone’s hair grows differently, but sometimes it may seem like your hair doesn’t grow at all. If you’re trying to grow your hair out and not getting the results you’d like, there could be a good reason or two why your hair is stuck at one length. It can be tempting to just invest in hair extensions when your hair isn’t growing at the rate you’d like, but you need to identify any underlying issues as to why your hair isn’t growing in the first place. Here are some of the reasons why your hair may be at a standstill with its growth, and what you can do about it.
Not Enough Nutrients
In addition to quality hair care practices, your hair needs a certain amount of nutrients to promote growth. This could be in the form of hair products or what you eat. A diet rich in vitamins, iron and zinc all contribute to having healthy hair. And since healthy hair promotes growth, evaluate your eating habits if your hair is stuck at one length.
Age is a Factor
Your hair will change as you get older. Your body will naturally produce fewer oils, leading to dry hair and making it more likely to break. It also depends on the types of products, dyes, styling, bleaching and other things you did to your hair over the years. You can still help your hair grow by changing your diet and incorporating the right products, but your age could be a reason why your hair isn’t growing.
Damaged Hair
Split ends cause breakage and are a result of dry and damaged hair. Using the right hair products can prevent dry and damaged hair. If you aren’t using a leave-in conditioner every night, try incorporating it into your routine. When you get split ends, your hair breaks off at the ends eventually. So your hair may actually be growing at the roots, but it’s not getting longer due to it getting shorter as the ends break off.
Poor Hair Care Habits
The importance of a quality hair care routine can’t be understated. Whether it’s just using the right shampoo and conditioner, brushing properly or avoiding aggressive towel-drying habits, sometimes a simple adjustment to your routine can make a big difference in your hair growth. The secret to growing hair is to keep it healthy as much as possible.
