The average person's hair grows at a rate of about ½ an inch each month.

Everything, including our diet, the products we use, our hormones, and even environmental factors can influence our hair growth. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to correct the imbalances and promote healthier, faster hair growth. Here you will find a description of the main reasons why your hair is not growing and the measures you should take to fix it.

You probably already know that hair is closely linked to hormones. Whether it's postpartum hair loss or excessive breakage due to stress, your hormones play a huge role in your overall hair health. According to experts, a poor growth rate could be the cause of a hormonal imbalance or a secondary hormonal problem, such as PCOS or hyper-/hypothyroidism. Treating the condition is the best way to improve not only the health of your hair, but also your overall health and well-being.

Over-processing and styling can lead to breakage, damage, and overall poor hair health, making it harder to grow. Products and other residues can clog hair follicles and stunt growth. Even certain hairstyles, like braids and extensions, can put undue stress on your locks and scalp.

The same goes for chemical treatments and dyes; over time, these services can weaken your hair and damage it, as chemically treated hair is more porous and therefore more susceptible to damage.
