Hair should grow 1-1.5 cm a month, but for some reasons it is possible that this won't happen.

Answer a few questions in order to identify the source of the problem and then find out how you can make your hair grow healthy.

Are super-stressed at this moment? Do you recently broke up with someone or do you have a very demanding project for work?



Hair loss after a stress overdose can be caused by a type of alopecia named effluvium teleogen.

Sounds scary, but it is normal for this to appear from time to time.

Try a long term anti hair fall treatment, for example L´Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Aminexil Control.

Also, oils and serums for scalp stimulation can be a very good impulse for your hair to grow and cumulated with products that thicken your hair springs they can regenerate fully your hair.


Do you make abuse of dry shampoos? Is your scalp often dry?

Used more than three times a week, dry cleaning with hair products can lead to cover of dead cells and fats that may cause dandruff, warns Gervaise Gernster, consultant dermatologist for L'Oreal Paris. The inflammation of the scalp harms the follicles and affects negatively hair growth.


The secret: wash your hair with a shampoo with shining effects, based on zinc three times a week, suggest Diane Medfes, dermatologist for Garnier.


Do you often use devices for hairstyling based on heat or do you frequently dye your hair?

Frequent thermic aggression of your hair or dyeing (even once at two months) with permanent products dispossess your hair from keratin (responsible for resistance), making him brittle, explains Mona H. Gohara, clinical assistant and professor in dermatology from Yale.

If your hair is systematically brittle he has not many chances to grow beautifully.


The secret: twice a month use a mask with proteins or get yourself a protective spray based on proteins (e.g. Keune Design protein spray). Also, use your hair dryer at the minimum temperature possible and try to wait 2-4 weeks more between dyeing your hair as usual.


Did you response negative at the questions below?

Genetics, eating habits, even birth control pills that you take can damage your hair. It is for the best to consult with your general practitioner or a dermatologist.


The secret:

- if your problem is genetically natured, then you can be recommended for a minoxidil based lotion (with a concentration of 5%) which is an ingredient that proved efficient in hair growth. Concrete results can be obtained after three months.

- If your diet is the problem you should adopt a healthier one (e.g. bean, which is very rich in zinc or salmon, very rich in Omega 3 fats, can thicken your hair), among other dietary supplements for hair.

- Not to forget, find out that some birth control pills contain spironolactone, an anti-androgen that blocks testosterone, says Dr. Gernster, so it affects hair density.


Tricks to "fool" your hair to grow

- Gain some centimeters. Straightening your hair non-aggressively with special products can make your hair seem longer.

- Create the texture and boost up your volume. Prepare your hair for styling using a primer that amplifies the effects of the previously applied products.
