What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2.

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3.
