Reasons Your Hair Is Not Growing

We’ve all heard the saying “Long hair, don’t care,” but if you really want your healthiest, longest locks, they need a little TLC. Read on to learn why your hair’s growth is at a standstill and how to get results.


 It’s dirty.
This may seem like common sense, but dirty hair is not healthy hair. Our scalp is an extension of our skin. Imagine what your face would look like if you went 2 weeks without washing it! Hair needs to be treated to a good cleansing at least once every 7-10 days.

 Heat Damage

Heat damage is no fun, whether it occurs on relaxed or natural hair. For natural hair using a high temperature of heat can give the same permanently bone-straight results as relaxing your hair. And, relaxed hair becomes brittle, dry and breaks easily.

“For breakage issues it’s best to see your stylist to get a trim. Severe damage may warrant a little more cutting to re-grow the hair. Combat heat styling issues by getting regular protein treatments and deep conditioning treatments to make the hair healthier and stronger.”

It’s dry.

To prevent hair loss and drying, both the hair and scalp need to be moisturized. A lack of moisture causes hair to be brittle and prone to breakage. Instead of using petroleum-based products because they can clog pores, use natural oils.
Turn to nature’s best oils like olive, Vitamin E, jojoba, coconut and monoi oils that naturally hydrate the scalp, hair and even body,

It’s being pulled too tight.

Pulling hair too tightly can result in permanent hair loss such as traction alopecia, which occurs around the temple and near the ears. It can also result in acne or sores to the scalp, and that’s just not a good look. We already lose about 100 hairs daily, so there’s no need to double this number from irresponsible styling.

5. Overprocessing

Relaxers, hair dye and hair curlers, oh my! Doing too much to your hair at once is dangerous. It’s damaging to hair’s overall health and can result with immediate consequences such as chunks of hair falling out. Be sure to read instructions carefully and to do your research before trying multiple treatments at once and for proper maintenance over the long run.

6. Lack of exercise and proper nutrition

A healthy diet results in healthy hair. Our diet plays a big part in the health of our hair. Make sure that you are eating enough Omega-3’s like salmon and nuts and drink enough water to keep your internal health hydrated to support healthy hair.

7. It doesn’t have time to just breathe.

Although weaves and extensions are an excellent protective style that gives you the freedom to switch up your hair’s color and texture, it’s important to remove weave every 6-8 weeks and give hair a break for at least one week.

8. It needs a trim.

Trims are not hair’s enemy! A good trim every 6 to 8 weeks prevents slit ends. Split ends are the cause of stunted growth so ridding hair of that ¼ to ½ inch will pay off.

9. Lack of protein

Chemical treatments and heat damage can diminish between 15 and 20 percent of protein. Each strand of hair is made of protein, so it definitely needs it to survive. There are weekly treatments and others that take place every 6 weeks. Consult with a stylist to figure out your regimen.

10. Using the wrong regimen

You have to use the right products for your hair texture. If you have oily, straight hair, don’t buy a shampoo for brittle curls. Use products that cater to your hair’s needs for maximum results.

WHY FATHIA BALOGUN's WEDDING DIDN'T HOLD ON MAY 21

   The heavily hyped wedding of Yoruba actress Fathia Balogun didn’t hold after all. Fathia had confirmed the gist of  the wedding some months back, stating that the wedding proper would hold on May 21. Movie lovers and friends of Fathia looked forward to the date after her engagement to Ade, a US based Nigerian took place in January 2011.

  The wedding of Fathia to Ade, was one of the most talked about celebrity marriage.  A lot of people were surprise when the marriage didn’t hold again. 

 Could this mean that the wedding plans have collapsed? In a report by Afolabi Oyekoya, Fathia was said to have met some brick walls in the plan to Houston Texas based dude. When Fathia went to the US, she discovered that Ade is still married to a white woman. They also have a child together. The white woman was said to have threatened to sue Ade over she considered bigamy.

 In a bid to confirm the story, Fathia waved the question aside stating that the May 21 wedding was only a ‘provisional’ date (whatever that means).

  

  Fathia, who is partly Delta and partly Yoruba was married to actor, Saheed Balogun before their marriage crashed over allegations and counter allegations of adultery. Saheed alleged that Fathia’s escapades with a popular movie producer led to the collapse of their marriage.
 Speculations are rife in town that the whole marriage plan was done in a hurry just to get back at Saheed her former husband. 
Gistmaster gathered that Fathia wanted to show off that she can get someone better than him. She wanted Saheed to be envious.Those who are not in tune with that school of thought, said  Fathia needed to get a man of her own after all Saheed has moved on. 
 We have heard stories of his romance with other actresses including Funke Adeshiyan.So let Fathia be!
 One of Fathia's friends told gistmaster today from America that the wedding plan is still on but the date won't me made for the general public for personal reasons.
