7 Reasons why your hair is NOT growing

[@Bigheadjustice]

BTW: Your hair is always growing but it may seem like its not growing because your not retaining length. BUT because not many people have heard of the phrase “length retention” I just used the idea of your hair “not growing” to make it searchable

[@Dinde3n]

Me immediately took out my slick back as soon as she said that 😭

Me immediately looking through the ingredients of my shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, and curl cream for isopropyl alcohol

[@Nwakaego_]

Same here!😂 I just looked through all of them.

[@LI8A__noir]

Chicago born and raised. My hair flourished in the cold environment way more than the south. I was also drinking a crap ton of water back then too, so my hair really grew to the middle of my back in one year. It was a definite learning curve when I got to the south 😂 maybe cuz I’m high porosity 3c/4a. My curls love water, a thick moisturizing cream, and oil

[@whatdacurl94]

isopropyl alcohol is typically used as a solvent for other ingredients but that doesn't mean it can't dry out the hair. Alcohol denat is denatured alcohol which can also dry out the hair as it is typically in products that dry quickly.

[@Bigheadjustice]

Thank u for explaining! Pinning this for you all to see!

@@Bigheadjusticehi! i have a question. i’m trying to grow my hair but i have heat damage in some parts of my hair. when you started taking care of and growing out your hair did you get a big chop or not?

This is the type of video I was supposed to watch a long time ago when I was wasting my time watching videos that didn't help 😭 God bless you dear❤️

[@JaneNoordpool]

I only use pure castor oil and aloe vera for my natural 4B/4C hair and scalp and it becomes thicker and longer. I also comb my hair 3 times a week, wash it once a month and never use heat. It grows very fast.

[@TrippyHippy8694]

I agree with braids. I have 4c hair and my hair thrives so much with protective styles

[@totallynotHaru]

"Your diet is horrible" Me: Oh. . . *Puts down my ice cream bucket*

[@honeybee7197]

You have to trim those tiny hairs separately now . They are probably being missed during routine trims so they keep breaking off.

[@aishanjgirl07]

The ponytails definitely damaged my hair, specifically the front. I’m a straight natural now and that works much better for me. My hair is down to my bra strap.

[@angelface333]

this 100% convinced me to invest in hard water filter 💗

[@trinjuwan4422]

I've heard this over & over...I guess I need to do this🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Luna14Smith]

Lil correction here: the alcohol is used to clean and give a stable consistency to the product. Not to "moist". Is to give the clean effect and feeling.

[@cupidsdesire.]

Thank you for this! I'm someone who eats sweets and junk food a lot (I'm a teen, and i usually go buy sweets or something after school), and i don't drink water often. I also like in the UK, which is usually cold and only hot in the summer. I was already aware that this wasn't good for my hair/myself, and I wasn't getting enough vitamin D because of it, but i didn't think much of it bc i can't change where i live rn. Plus, i do my edges every weekday for skl 😭. But this video has inspired me to try and make a change. Tbh, i not only need to better my diet for my hair but also my health. It'll be kinda hard for me to stop doing my edges bc i have a big forehead, and i prefer to do my edges because of that, and i just prefer to do it - but I'll try to take care of my edges more. I'll also try to watch what i eat more and stop spending so much on junk food - i need to save money anyway 😂😅. I'll also try and drink more water💧because the environment i live in already isn't humid, and i realise that it isn't good for me, especially at my age. I probably have some vitamin deficiencies, but I'll just try to take some multivitamins. Thanks 💗 😊 🫶🏿🫶🏿

[@thesheknowsofficial]

I was someone that blew out my hair before every protective style, I didn’t realize how much damage I was doing my hair… I haven’t done so since March because of your videos and I’m really proud of myself. I really thought I had to do it just to put a style and I was so wrong!

[@Nwakaego_]

Definitely just subscribed because this year 2024, I’m loving my natural 4a-c hair more and will care for it better. Thanks for these tips.❤

[@mostlovely2c]

I lived in South Florida for a year, and I only needed a little leave in, and my hair was always super curly. My hair loves a tropical climate.

[@BlackNella]

So… protective styling in fine hair is terribly hard. I try twists and look like I have 10 twists on my head.

[@Twilight_loves]

Your hair is so pretty, and the styles you do are talented. They are definitely the coolest styles I’ve ever seen hair in. (Ps, love your help and how confident you are)

[@sahvahnah_bahama9163]

So glad that I found your channel. I have been natural for about 10 years and have gone through a lot of frustration on my natural journey. I was actually thinking about relaxing my hair because I am just really tired of trying product after product without any long term success. I love that your videos cut the fluff and get straight to the point. I think that the hard water has been a huge factor in my hair breaking. Thank you for your help!

I just followed you after looking at your shorts. I’m sitting here going. This is my hair twin. I feel like if I follow some of your tips my hair will stop doing.

[@DIAMONDGIRL57]

I live in Las Vegas where the climate is extreme; dry scorching in the summer, dry cold in the winter. Along with the hard water. I’m my hair needs hydration every other day! I also shampoo at least once a week with a shampoo formulated for hard water.

Such a good tips! I used to struggle with keeping my natural hair healthy and growing. One thing that really helped was adding biotin capsules to my routine. I realized my diet was lacking, and it was affecting my hair. Since taking biotin from nutraharmony, my hair is stronger and growing longer than ever. Sometimes natural supplements help a lot❤

[@snowangel92100]

My hair was thriving in college. I ate a healthy-ish diet (unfortunately healthier than my diet at home), drank tons of water, and unintentionally exercised. I walked to most of my classes up to a certain point at campus. For example, if my class was within a 20-minute walk from my dorm/ library/ next class, I'd walk because that was about the cycle of the campus buses. I could get there before the bus.

[@anne-sophie7889]

All my hair broke suddenly (had to chop it all off 10 days ago) and I didn’t understand why and I HAVE ANEMIA. My iron level is soooo low and I’ve been not taking my iron pills for months because I feel fine 😃 plus I can go drinking only a glass of water or no water at all everyday 😭🤡

[@magiv4205]

The mother of one of my friends has thick, coily 3a hair. For a long time, my friend was convinced she just didn't inherit the good hair genetics, because her hair would only curl at the ends and droop sadly in the lengths and towards the scalp. It looked like she had no volume at all, and she was actually getting bald spots and pretty bad hair loss. She attributed this to stress and health problems. Her hair was much thicker and coilier when she was younger, and she didn't know what to do. Until she moved back home - and realized that one of the main problems had been the hard water in the city. Now, coupled with a trim, she finally has her beautiful thick black curls back. Her scalp is also much healthier and less prone to greasiness. Her health also improved, but not to the point that I'd argue it's the main reason for the transformation, cause she suffers from chronic issues that aren't going away. So I really think the water change made a huge difference!

I apparently had anemia at 3 years old but at this point I cant really tell if it's been back or not, but I do know that my hair hasn't seemed to grow over the past few years, if it did it definitely wasn't noticeable, But thanks 4 this video bc now im more aware of stuff I should b doing with my hair 😭

[@hind2384]

Hi, I have been on my natural hair journey for years now and i'm still struggling with one thing, my scalp. You didn't mention it, but my family normalized the "snow-like" flaking that we might have with a dry scalp. For me, it came to a point where my scalp literally hurts, I can't describe it but it's not a burning sensation it just hurts. I've seen 2 dermatologists years ago because I had a white flaking spot that reached my forehead (I don't have it anymore). But they said I didn't have any fungus infection, so I don't know. If you or somebody else could help me, I'm starting to loose hope.

[@SayYes2theLord]

Research on KZbin videos of how people use apple cider vinegar with the mother in it diluted with water to clear up all kinds of scalp issues. I use it and it really works!

[@hind2384]

@@SayYes2theLord thank you so much 😭😭💕 I actually did but acv but i bought a very very cheap one (around 60 cents) so it doesnt do anything and I knew why but I didn't want to invest any money in something I wasn't sure would work. Acv with the mother is soooio expensive 🥲 Anyway, thx !

[@tor60801]

You could possibly have seb derm. For that, people recommend taking caprylic acid (I’ve also seen people recommend sulfur and neem oil products). It could also be inflammation, too. Diet and lifestyle changes can help with that.

[@SayYes2theLord]

@@tor60801 That’s a great point.

[@Bigheadjustice]

My brother had a similar problem and it came from not shampooing well enough and using products that irritated his scalp! Im not a doctor so i cant say for sure but make sure none of ur scalp products are what’s irritating your head!

I used to put my hair in a slick back everyday during early February to late March, and now I got a hair trim (my hair is like 3 inches long now)

[@NalediLeteba]

can l use rosemary and olive oil and coconut oil and cloves is that good for the hair

[@NalediLeteba]

Is that true

[@NalediLeteba]

Because l just mixed the ingredients all of them but l didn't put them in my hair right now

[@NalediLeteba]

They said if you mixed all the ingredients put them for one week and after one week you can use them an make your hair grow is that true

[@Bigheadjustice]

I wouldn’t recommend olive oil because it can cause dandruff problems and i wouldnt use coconut oil on your scalp if you plan on using it there. I personally like jojoba oil + rosemary oil + peppermint oil + grapeseed oil for a scalp oil. And using jojoba oil + grapeseed oil for your hair strands

[@NalediLeteba]

@@Bigheadjustice l use a shampoo it call dermasul it for hair and scalp and the ingredients are aqua ,tea,lauryl sulphate,glycerine,sls,lauramide dear,sodium cocamphoacetate,mphb,msm,menthol,sodium chloride,fragrance,fda approved colours. Can l ask is that good from my hair. Is the shampoo that l use?

My new hairstylist (soon to be ex hairstylist) has blown out my hair bone straight for the second time I’ve gone to her for a trim. I feel like she was defeating the purpose😅 now I have some light heat damage near the front of my head that I’m trying to revert, I really don’t any to trim before my next scheduled trim with my new NATURAL HAIR stylist.

[@angelthompson6259]

I liked all these tips except for the one about wearing protective styles, I noticed for me atleast ( I had type 4 hair). My hair get dryer when I wear twists, braids, etc and I think for me because I’m lazy 😂😂😂 I don’t keep those style in for months on end. 3weeks to a month max. I now prefer wigs especially on special occasions. But 95% when I wear my natural hair it grows a lot more I noticed over the years.

[@kamii_kaizen]

Omg I realized my hair grows a lot in the summer 👀 but I feel like besides obviously humidity it's cause I sweat a lot 😭 and I think it keeps my hair moisturized in a way? Idk if that's how it works tbh but yk maybe sweating opens up my pores on my scalp and it helps a hair follicles grow 💀I am the farthest thing from a cosmetologist-

[@Feliososarky]

Moved from NYC 10 yrs back, now im cryin in dry Canadian 😭😭😭 hair was never the same

[@Kiralikeschicken]

I live in the UK so it totally make sense why my hair is frizzy and flat :( my mum has a steamer which I'll be trying

[@sydbey947]

I notice that women wear their hair out exposing it to the climates that fry out or frizz our hair. I believe wearing a head cover while your hair is processing the oils and moisture u pour into the strands is essential

[@shannincornelius]

I moved from Ohio to Georgia 9 years ago. My hair is flourishing. I do want a shower filter.

[@ItsAllyyyyy]

Guys similar thing to what she said, as someone who has a grandma that studied cosmetology ONLY use gel for very pretty hairstyles. Think about it like this, our hair is a tube so when we use gel the gel can go through the holes and it will go deeper to the poin where it will clog the scalp and it will cause breakage and it might just make your hair stop producing hair, SO PLEASE dont use gel just to do little things! 🫶

[@Bill-cipher44]

I have very curly hair so this was helpful.

[@rissilient85]

[@preciousmom3329]

Some good alcohols: Cetyl, Stearyl, Myristyl, Lauryl, Behenyl, and Cetearyl. 👍 Bad alcohols: Isopropyl, SD Alcohol, Ethanol, Propanol, SD Alcohol 40, and Propyl. ☹️

[@shell-belly]

Question: does keeping your hair twisted or in braids protect it more than if you keep it natural? Edit: you probably answered this in this video, I just watch your shorts and haven’t watched any videos I apologize.

[@sinshenlong]

And here i was thinking slick back ( like Drakes with the halo braid on the sides) was easier on my hair than braids. Now im confused.

[@LauraYakubu-r8v]

Since gels aren't good what about edge controls??? Do they also break hair

[@Bigheadjustice]

I personally don’t use edge controls too much, maybe once a month. Plus theyre usually alot thicker but if ur ONLY using edge control on ur edges then you should be fine! Just dont use it every single day, it can cause tugging on the hairline

Awww...You're in my state! ❣ I noticed a difference too when I was in Florida. My coif really loved the humidity. My hair is supercurly with the tight springs on the ends like yours. The main problem I deal with is fairy knots. Do you deal with that at all? Is it really just a sign of damage? I'm gaining length okay and I wouldn't think it is damaged, but I find myself clipping a lot trying to rid myself of the knots.
