Ever feel like your hair has hit a wall? No matter how long you wait, it just stays the same length?
Here’s the real story:
Your hair is growing, but breakage might be stopping you from seeing the progress.
It’s Not Growth That’s the Problem. It’s Breakage.
Hair grows in cycles. Most people’s hair grows around one centimetre a month, which adds up over time. But if the ends are constantly splitting, snapping or drying out, your hair might be breaking just as fast as it’s growing.
That’s why it looks like nothing’s happening. You’re losing length just as quickly as you gain it.
What’s Getting in the Way of Longer Hair?
There are a few sneaky culprits that sabotage your growth journey without you even realising:
- Skipping regular trims, hoping to keep every centimetre, but split ends just work their way up.
- Daily heat styling without protection. A recipe for breakage.
- Wearing tight styles on repeat, such as slick ponytails or buns.
- Brushing too hard, especially when wet.
- Not nourishing your hair at all stages, from scalp to ends.
Each of these habits might feel harmless in the moment, but over time? They add up.
So… What Can You Do About It?
Good news. This doesn’t mean you need to cut it all off and start over.
You just need a plan that actually protects and supports your hair.
Here’s where to start:
- Trim regularly to stop breakage in its tracks.
- Introduce treatments that rebuild strength: bond builders or nourishing masks.
- Swap your brush or comb for something gentler.
- Use heat protection (always).
- Talk to your stylist about a routine that supports your hair’s unique texture and condition.
And don’t forget the scalp! Healthy roots are where growth begins.
