Is your hair no longer growing? This is a problem that many women experience. Between the ends that break, the lengths that no longer move and hair that lacks pep, we sometimes wonder why our hair stays stuck at the same length. It's quite annoying, especially when you dream of a beautiful, long mane! In this article, we will look at the different reasons that can explain this hair phenomenon, and above all, we will share lots of tips and tricks to help your hair resume growth.

1) Your hair no longer grows: you neglect your lengths

No secret to having long hair, you have to take care of your length! What does it mean to “take care of your lengths”? Actually, it's quite simple. It’s ensuring that the oldest part of your hair – i.e. the ends – remains healthy. They have seen the country, these points! Between the sun, the heat of the hair dryer, and brushing a little too vigorously, they can quickly become dry and brittle. And a hair that breaks, it no longer grows!

When we say that it no longer grows, we mean that your hair grows at the roots, but cuts itself at the ends. So, how do we avoid this? Well, that’s where the hair routine comes in! A little moisturizing mask once a week, a serum to nourish the ends, and above all, don't forget to cut them regularly. It may seem counterproductive when you want long hair, but a little scissoring from time to time makes all the difference!

2) You wear your hair in a bun regularly

We know, buns are practical. We have our hair out of our face, and what's more, it immediately gives a chic look. But be careful, wearing buns all the time can play tricks on your hair. For what ? Because constantly pulling on your hair can weaken it and, in some cases, even cause it to fall out. But don't panic, there are solutions!

To start, try varying your hairstyles: in a braid, in a half-bun, a little loose, a little up... The idea is not to always pull on the same strands. Another tip: opt for metal-free elastics or satin scrunchies, which are less aggressive on the hair. And finally, don't forget to let your hair breathe from time to time by leaving it free.

3) Your hair no longer grows: you use a straightener every day 

We've all done it, getting up in the morning, looking at our hair in the mirror and saying to ourselves “A little straightener and it will be perfect”. And it's true that the straightener is a bit like the magic wand of hairdressing: in a few minutes, the hair is smooth, shiny, impeccable. But unfortunately, this magic wand comes at a price, and our hair pays for it. The straightener is a bit like the midday sun in the middle of summer: it burns. And a burned hair is a hair that becomes dry, brittle, and ultimately… breaks.

But there’s no question of letting yourself get discouraged! There are solutions to continue using your straightener without risking hair disaster. First of all, don't forget the heat protector. It's a bit like sunscreen for your hair, it protects it from the intense heat of the straightener. Then, we are careful not to put too much emphasis on the ends, which are already the most fragile part of the hair. And finally, we don't use the straightener every day. As with everything, moderation is the key!

But the real recipe for having long AND smooth hair without damaging it is to use our Bora Bora straightening which smoothes the hair without distorting it. We love its nourishing properties, which strengthen the hair fiber, provide shine and stimulate hair growth!

4) You neglect your scalp

When we talk about hair care, we often think about our lengths and ends. But what about our scalp? Yet this is where it all begins! A healthy scalp is the basis for having hair in great shape. On the other hand, an unhealthy scalp can quickly become the start of a long series of problems: dull hair, hair loss, and even stopped hair growth.

In addition, the scalp is a bit like our skin: it can be subject to inflammation, such as psoriasis or seborheic dermatitis. Not to mention dandruff, excess sebum, and all those not-so-pleasant little things that can ruin our lives.

So, how do you take care of your scalp? It's simple, you just have to treat it like you would treat your skin. We clean it gently, we moisturize it, and above all, we are careful not to attack it with products that are too strong. And if you notice redness, itching or dandruff, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist. Because a healthy scalp is the first step to having long hair!

5) Your hair no longer grows: you don't pay attention to your diet

You may have heard the saying “we are what we eat”. Well, that’s true for our hair too! A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is the fuel our hair needs to grow in great shape. Proteins, vitamins A and C, iron, zinc… All these nutrients play an essential role in the health of our hair.

To stimulate hair fiber growth, we favor foods rich in nutrients: fatty fish for omega-3, colorful fruits and vegetables for vitamins, legumes and whole grains for iron and zinc... But sometimes , even with the best diet in the world, our body needs a little boost. And this is where the Extrem Pousse food supplement , the most complete supplement on the market. With its 21 cutting-edge active ingredients, it will stimulate growth and limit hair loss. A real little booster for your mane!

6) You are too stressed! 

Is your hair no longer growing? You've probably already heard that stress can cause hair loss. Well it’s true! Chronic stress can really affect our hair growth. In fact, it can even cause temporary hair loss. Not great, is it? But don't panic, there are solutions to manage stress and promote hair growth. For example, relaxing activities like yoga, meditation, or walking outdoors can do wonders for reducing stress. Taking time for yourself, letting go, relaxing… All these things help reduce stress and, therefore, promote hair growth.

And remember, stress is a normal reaction of the body to a difficult situation. There is no shame in feeling stress. The important thing is to know how to manage it and not let it take over. So take a deep breath, relax, and your hair will thank you!

7) Your hair no longer grows: you have a hormonal imbalance 

We don't say it often enough, but our hormones have a big influence on the health of our hair. A small hormonal imbalance, and all hair growth can be disrupted. For example, during pregnancy or menopause, hormonal fluctuations can cause hair loss or, on the contrary, accelerated growth.

So, how do we manage these hormonal imbalances? First of all, if you suspect a hormonal imbalance, it is best to consult a doctor. He will be able to help you understand what is happening and find suitable solutions. Then, certain lifestyle habits can help regulate hormones naturally. For example, a balanced diet, quality sleep, regular physical activity... All these things contribute to good hormonal balance. And remember, hormones are a bit like a dance: everything has to be in sync for it to work.
