Why isn’t my hair growing?
Whether you’re a man or woman, hair loss (or the inability to grow your hair naturally) can be triggered by a number of different factors, both environmental and lifestyle. Here are just a few common reasons you might be experiencing hair loss, hair thinning, or struggling to grow out your hair:
-
Your hair is damaged. If you’ve got damaged hair (aka plenty of split ends) you might find it difficult to grow out your hair. Focusing on treating the hair damage first is key to getting results.
-
You’re stressed. Lots of stressors = limp tresses. You might find that your hair isn’t growing because your body is currently producing too many stress hormones, many of which can interrupt the body’s natural hair growth process.
-
You need to use a hair growth booster. Some people are simply more genetically predisposed to growing long hair; it’s just a question of genes! If you’ve always had shorter hair, split ends, or thin hair, you just simply need the helping hand of a hair growth booster (and that’s where the products come in!)
