Before you embark on your hair growth journey, it is important to understand hair growth. Why do some people seem blessed with fast hair growth and healthy hair - even people with the same type of hair as you and you don’t?
Well here’s the not so secret secret - your hair is growing. Don’t believe me? Have you ever noticed that you dye your hair - a few weeks or months later you see a ton of regrowth - but your actual hair length does not seem to have changed/grown. Or you relax your hair, and you know your hair is growing because you can tell from the regrowth. Your hair has grown - you have just not done enough to maintain the growth. You’ve lost the length you grew due to breakage or shedding. Some people think that their hair shrinks, it does not shrink, and it is breaking off at the ends.
The reality is that even though everyone’s hair grows - it’s about keeping the length that does grow, not just about growing it. Many don’t eat the right foods or receive sufficient nutrients to encourage growth and maintain healthy hair, they don’t use the right products to optimally grow hair and most importantly, they don’t maintain their hair once it does grow.
If you analyzed your hair - you would find those tiny white dots on the ends - that is where hair has broken off. You might find that your ends are dry, crunchy, straggly or thinner than at the root - this is where split ends have split and broken off leaving a thin trail.
You might find that you wake up with a mass of knots; this is where your split ends are creating friction and tangling and damaging the healthy hairs.
When you rip the brush through your wet hair - you are not aware of all the hairs you are ripping apart - resulting in broken off hair, split ends and damage to previously healthy hair.
If you have bleached your hair - whether it’s a full head, highlights or lowlights, you have effectively decreased the volume of each hair that was bleached and made it five times more vulnerable to breakage, splitting and sheer damage.
