YOu need to trim your hair once in a while or else you'll get split ends instead of new growth. I ran into the same problem, but trimming my hair made it grow faster.

Why won't my hair grow??

Some hair is just created to be shorter. Think legs, arm, underarms. It doesn't grow forever. Sorry not much help

Hey Chicka...okay one thing you need to do is get a trim...that always helps...and Vitamin E come in capsules so you can take those regularly. Change shampoos and conditioner to a hard to grow hair type.....Hope that helps

Why won't my hair grow??

getic problem seek help from your family doctor.

Why won't my hair grow??

well to start with..regular trims promote hair growth. Also Vitamin E, and Fish oils...Are very good with hair skin and nails. Go to a health food store or like a GNC and get a vitamin that is for Hair..then also take E, and Fish oil.(its in pill form). ..and get regular trims..i trim my hair just a little once a month..now it grows about a inch a month. Hope this helps :)

Do you have hair loss problem?

Perhaps ur longer hair drops, without you noticing.

Or perhaps, you have been pulling your longer hair off because of stress!

Tell you what, CONSULT a doctor!!!

Why won't my hair grow??

my hair dresser has always told me that the more you are active and exercise the more likely your hair will grow. since when you workout oxygen is moving through your body, this can help stimulate your hair growth. i have always been in many many sports all through out school and since ive graduated i try to workout on a daily basis and i have to get my hair cut about every 8 wks. hope it helps!

Why won't my hair grow??

would you like to your hair will get healthy growth..... then use the ayurvedic medicines (hair oils ex.sesa hair oil) and ate c vitamin fruits and iron food regularly. do meditation for minmum 15 mitunes and some small exercises for ur fitness then you will get the better result with in one month. Have a good luck.

Why won't my hair grow??

YOU MUST TRIM YOUR HAIR FOR IT TO GROW EVERYONE HAIR GROWS A 1/4 INCH EVERY MONTH BUT IF YOU NEVER TRIM IT YOU WONT SEE A CHANGE BECAUSE IT WILL BREAK OFF. SPLIT ENDS WILL SPLIT THE FOLLICLE TO THE ROOT THUS CAUSING DAMAGED HAIR MUST TRIM ONCE A MONTH TO SEE NEW GROWTH.

Why won't my hair grow??

Although no new hair follicles are made postnatally, each and every hair follicle undergoes three-part cyclical growth pattern in order to produce a new hair. Normally, the hair grows to a maximum length, then hair growth ceases and the hair is shed and replaced. These phases of the hair growth cycle have been described as:

Anagen, a long period of growth

Catagen, the transitional period from growing to resting lasting 2 to 4 weeks

Telogen, a period of inactivity lasting 2-4 months

Anagen is the active phase of the hair, and extends from the termination of the inactive phase, telogen, to the beginning of the regressing phase, catagen. This phase involves the complete re-growth or regeneration of the lower, cycling portion of the follicle, i.e., the hair shaft factory. The epidermal cells surrounding the dermal papilla form the germinal matrix or root of the hair. These cells are constantly dividing, and as new cells are formed they push the older ones upwards and eventually out. During this phase the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days. Because there is a limit to the time a follicle stays in anagen, there is also a limit to the length of its product, the hair shaft.

The anagen phase is further subdivided into six sub-stages. These are:

Stage I -growth of the dermal papilla and on-set of mitotic activity in the germ-like overlying epithelium

Stage II -bulb matrix cells envelop the dermal papilla and begin differentiation, evolving bulb begins descent along the fibrous streamer

Stage III-bulb matrix cells show differentiation into all follicular components

Stage IV-matrix melanocytes reactivate

Stage V-hair shaft emerges and dislodges telogen hair

Stage VI-new hair shaft emerges from skin surface

There is generally little variation in the duration of each stage between species, except for anagen VI, which is the period during which the hair is produced at its maximum rate. The developmental processes which must occur before a hair is produced are presumed to be similar in all mammals.

The matrix cells are referred to as transit-amplifying cells because they undergo a limited number of cell divisions before differentiating. Some molecular regulators of the anagen to catagen transition have been identified, but their exact mechanism of activity is still a grey area. Scientists have been successful in discovering that fibroblast growth factor-5 (Fgf-5) may trigger catagen onset. Mouse experiments have shown that total skin Fgf-5 expression increases in late anagen and that, in its absence, catagen induction is delayed prolonging anagen. There are other molecules that could serve as anagen-supporting signals, and there is also an increase in the number of deeply situated perifollicular mast cells.

Like anagen, catagen is a highly regulated event, in its initiation, development, and termination. The purpose of catagen is to delete the old hair shaft factory and to initiate the stem cells of the bulge and the papilla to set the stage for the formation of a new follicle. Catagen is regarded as the transitional phase in the hair growth cycle, and there are chemical and structural changes that take place in the hair follicle during this phase.

The hair follicles go through a highly controlled process of involution, a process of progressive decline or degeneration, burst of programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the majority of follicular keratinocytes. Follicular melanogenesis (formation of melanin) also ceases during this stage, and some follicular melanocytes undergo apoptosis as well. Towards the end of the catagen stage, the dermal papilla condenses and moves upward, coming to rest beneath the hair-follicle bulge.

Telogen is considered as the resting stage or the period of quiescence in the hair follicle cycling process. When hair follicles enter telogen and stop making hair, they dump their last cells on to the end of the fiber. This lump of cells acts as an anchor to hold the hair fiber in the tube of the hair follicle. The hair is now called a "club" hair as the lump of cells on the end gives it a club appearance. This non living hair is attached to the skin with a "club-like" root, but will eventually be pushed out and replaced by a new growing hair, usually during combing or washing. The telogen stage typically lasts for two to three months before the scalp follicles enter the anagen stage and the cycle is repeated.Exogen

Shedding of hair is another important aspect of hair growth. As the shedding phase takes place independent of telogen and anagen, it utilizes a separate set of controls and has been given a name, 閳ユ竼xogen閳?in hair biology. Exogen is a highly controlled and timed event in mammals that shed on a seasonal basis. This feature is a protective mechanism, which minimizes the shedding of protective hair before new hair is available. Researchers have noted that it is not unusual for human telogen hairs to be retained for more than one follicular cycle, suggestingt the anagen phase and the exogen phase are independent events.

For the purpose of regeneration of the follicle and for the maintenance of the epidermis and sebaceous gland, reservoirs of multi-potent epithelial stem cells are set aside during development. These precious follicle stem cells are found in the bulge of the hair follicle, and are activated at the telogen to anagen transition, to initiate a new round of hair growth.

Normally this cycle of hair production and inactivity continues for the duration of the individual's life, but external factors can influence and inhibit hair production and in some cases lead to physical destruction of the hair follicle. The relative duration of each of these phases also varies with the individual's age, nutritional status, hormonal factors, and other physiologic and pathologic factors. The duration of anagen determines the final length of the hair and thus varies according to body site; catagen and telogen duration vary to a lesser extent depending on site.

Hair growth and loss in humans is random and not seasonal or cyclic. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in various stages of growth and shedding. Determining the molecular signals that orchestrate the follicle閳ユ獨 transit between these stages is one of the key challenges of hair research. Visit naturescorner.com, my website.

Why won't my hair grow??

ur hair might be damaged. like hav split ends, its too dry or oily, whatever.

u shud go see a doctor about a vitamin, but u shud go and get a haircut every 1 or 2 month by 1 cm at least so u wnt have any split ends etc.

and u shud go for that oil treatment every month. its nt that expensive. maybe like 20 dollars the treatment and cutting like 5 dollars ;)))

Why won't my hair grow??

I am sorry to tell you that hair length is predetrimined by genetics. Not every body can get there hair super long. Your hair might get a little longer if you only brush it enough to get the tangles out but there is not much you can do. The miracle hair cures are gimmicks and a vitamen deficancy would not cuase your hair to stop growing totaly unless it was exterme. You can overdose on viatmens so be careful. I think your hair hit its terminal length because logic would tell me that if you truly did not trim your hair it would be 60 inches. Be gentle with your hair and only trim if you get split ends. Triming will only slow down growth because the new growth will all end up on the ground.

Good luck
