Do you feel like your hair is no longer growing, despite your best efforts to care for it? This stagnation can have several causes—sometimes invisible to the naked eye. Nutrition, stress, everyday actions—anything can play a role. In this article, Myriam K helps you understand the most common causes of this hair stagnation and offers concrete solutions to stimulate regrowth , naturally and effectively.
Why isn't your hair growing? 🤔
Hair that grows slowly or seems to stop growing altogether isn't necessarily a sign of diseased hair. More often than not, it's a sign that an internal imbalance or an unsuitable routine is disrupting its natural cycle. Before you can think about boosting growth, you need to understand what's slowing it down.
1. Nutritional deficiencies: when the inside affects the outside 🥗
Hair health starts on the plate. Hair, made up mainly of keratin, needs a regular supply of amino acids, minerals and vitamins to renew itself. A diet depleted of protein , vitamin B8 (biotin) , vitamin D , iron or zinc leads to slow, irregular growth, and sometimes diffuse hair loss. These micro-imbalances prevent hair follicles from producing quality hair fibers. The result: hair that stagnates or thins over time.
To support regrowth from the inside out, we recommend a course of Big Hair capsules , enriched with targeted active ingredients such as biotin, selenium and horsetail, known to strengthen the fiber and boost growth from the roots. A 3-month course is generally necessary to see visible progress.
2. Stress and hormonal disorders: the silent disruptors 😰
The hair growth cycle is hormonally regulated. Any variation – whether related to the thyroid , menopause , postpartum , or even medication – can upset the balance of the anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (shedding) phases.
But the most insidious remains chronic stress , which increases the secretion of cortisol and impacts the blood microcirculation of the scalp. This lack of oxygenation slows down the nutrient exchanges between the blood capillaries and the follicles. In short: the hair no longer receives what it needs to grow.
In this case, a suitable local treatment like Scalp Hair Growth Serum becomes a valuable ally. Applied regularly by massaging, it stimulates vascularization, revives the follicles and helps restore a harmonious hair cycle.
3. Aggressive hair practices: when the routine damages more than it heals ⚠️
Repeating certain actions without protection or balance can compromise growth without you even realizing it. Heat tools used at high temperatures without heat protection , close bleaching , or even high-tension hairstyles (like braids or high ponytails) weaken the hair shaft. It breaks before it even has time to grow a few inches.
It's not the growth that stops, it's the length that never manages to stabilize.
Incorporating a reconstructive treatment into your routine is essential. The Repair Serum, enriched with plant keratin and nourishing oils, this hair serum Repairs the surface, coats the fiber and significantly reduces breakage. Applied to the ends after each wash, it helps preserve existing lengths while supporting future growth.
4. Unbalanced scalp: a stifled root does not grow 🚫
Too often overlooked, the scalp plays a fundamental role in hair growth. When it becomes saturated with skin care residue, sebum, or dandruff, it loses its suppleness, becomes irritated, and becomes less receptive to care. This congestion prevents oxygenation of the bulbs, disrupts local circulation, and slows the production of new hair.
Deep cleansing without harming is the first step. The Cleansing Hair Scrub , formulated to remove impurities while stimulating microcirculation, provides an immediate feeling of freshness. Used once a week, it lastingly cleanses the scalp and boosts follicular activity.
How to stimulate hair growth? 🌱
Boosting hair growth requires creating the right conditions, both internally and on the scalp. There's no point in using multiple treatments if the basic steps aren't followed. Here are the pillars of healthy, progressive hair regrowth.
1. Eat a balanced diet: the basis of strong fiber 💪
Before thinking about hair care routine, you have to think about nutrition. Each hair bulb is a living structure that draws its energy from what you consume. A balanced diet for your hair in animal or vegetable proteins (eggs, legumes, fish), B vitamins , vitamin D , but also zinc , iron and omega 3 , directly supports the formation of keratin and strengthens the hair shaft.
Certain foods have particularly interesting properties for hair beauty: oilseeds (nuts, almonds), chia seeds , brewer's yeast or even anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric. This nutritional approach can be reinforced by a targeted treatment such as Gummies vitamin-enriched hair products , rich in biotin and zinc for visible action after 4 to 6 weeks of continuous use.
2. Massage your scalp: the reflex that changes everything 💆 ♀️
Often underestimated, scalp massage is a key step in stimulating hair growth. By improving microcirculation, it allows follicles to better absorb the nutrients necessary for hair growth. Performed daily or at least 3 times a week, this simple step optimizes the effectiveness of treatments applied to the roots.
Use your fingertips to make circular movements, focusing on denser areas like the nape of the neck or the top of the head. To maximize the effect, use a suitable treatment like Scalp Hair Growth Serum, whose stimulating active ingredients (caffeine, botanical extracts) work in synergy with the massage.
3. Hydrate and protect your lengths: preserve what your roots produce ✨
Visible growth is only possible if the lengths are maintained. And this requires regular hydration. When hair is dry or weakened, it breaks before it can even grow sufficiently. This phenomenon is even more pronounced on curly, textured, or bleached hair, which is more susceptible to mechanical breakage.
Adopt a targeted routine with treatments rich in moisturizing agents like aloe vera , vegetable butters or natural oils (jojoba, castor, avocado). The Hydrate hair mask , for example, provides deep nutrition and strengthens the fiber without weighing it down. Complete with a hair serum to seal in moisture and limit the appearance of split ends.
4. Limit aggression: a gentler routine for smoother growth 🛡️
There's no lasting regrowth without daily protection. Too much heat, tension, or chemicals can damage hair and cause damage that's invisible in the short term... but very visible over time.
Reduce the frequency of blow-drying , straightening, or permanent coloring , and favor heat-regulated tools . Banish hairstyles that pull excessively on the roots. Between treatments, adopt restorative treatments such as the hair repair mask , rich in ceramides and plant proteins, to restructure fragile areas. And to reinforce your daily thermal protection, systematically apply a dab of the repairing hair serum before using heat.
An enriched diet, appropriate care, and repeated protective actions together form the key to restored hair growth.
To take your routine further, you can complement your care with a restorative shampoo , perfect when used in conjunction with a treatment for irritated scalps . These products are easily incorporated into a growth protocol and will sustainably strengthen the health of your hair, from root to tip.
