Why your hair is not growing


There are several reasons why your hair may not be growing at the rate you feel that it should. Here are some possible causes:


1. Genetics: Hair growth rate and length are determined by genetics.


2. Hair care: Frequent heat styling, excessive brushing, and harsh chemical treatments can damage hair and slow growth.


3. Nutrient deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamins A, C, and E can affect hair growth.


4. Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy, or thyroid disorders can slow hair growth.


5. Scalp conditions: Conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, and eczema can lead to hair loss and slow growth.


6. Aging: Hair growth slows naturally with age.


7. Stress: Prolonged stress can cause hair loss and slow growth.


8. Diet: A diet lacking essential nutrients and proteins can affect hair growth.


9. Hairstyling: Tight hairstyles like braids, ponytails, and buns can cause hair loss and slow growth. It can also cause breakage (hair falling off).


10. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as alopecia areata, autoimmune disorders, and skin conditions, can affect hair growth.


11. No Hair Routine: A good hair routine that is consistent can help you stay on top of your hair care process to keep hair moisturized and clean for healthy hair growth retention.

    Factors influencing hair growth span are genetics, hair care habits, nutrient intake, hormonal shifts, scalp health, aging, stress, diet, and medical conditions. To support healthy growth, consider adding a collagen and biotin supplement to your routine for enhanced hair strength and vitality.

DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.
