Hey guys welcome to my video, it's Cami J official solar start, the show my name is Cami, welcome or welcome back to my channel. Let'S go ahead and get right to the video all right y'all. So in this video I'm going to talk about stunted hair growth and pretty much the most common reasons why our hair feels like it has stopped growing. I cannot tell you how many comments I've had on videos basically saying Cami. My hair does not grow or my hair will not grow and they have tried everything guys they have, you know, switched up their hair routines and they brought all. You know, try different products and they started deep conditioning and it just doesn't seem like their hair is growing and trust me. You are not going crazy. There are actually a lot of reasons that cause our hair growth to become stunted. So I'm going to talk about those most common reasons, so that way you can write them down and you can evaluate and see. Do you fit in any of those categories so that you can begin to fix your stunted and or delayed hair growth. So one of the biggest reasons that causes stunted hair growth or stops hair from growing is lack of proper nutrition. If your body is not receiving the nutrition that it needs, then it is going to be really difficult for your hair to be able to grow. Our body is a very complex system and if we are not eating the right things conducive for hair growth, we can experience stunted hair growth. Our hair definitely needs those vitamins, those minerals. It needs that nutrition. In order to produce everything, it needs to produce to cause hair growth and trust me when people do not have a balanced diet when they have a very poor diet, they can experience stunted hair growth very quickly because once their body does not have the proper nutrition, Their hair begins to react and their hair can start growing, very slow or to them seem like it is not growing at all. Lack of proper hydration believe it or not. Your hair needs water and your body needs water, and water is essential to life like we know that right. We know that a person can go three weeks without eating any food, but they can only last about three days is without drinking water. Having proper hydration is crucial not only for your hair, but for your overall health as well sit back and ask yourself how much water do you drink in a day? Are you drinking the proper amount of water for your level of activity or for the lack thereof of your level of activity? How are you providing hydration to your body and I'm not talking about people who are drinking sodas and drinking? You know processed juices and all that I'm talking about straight up water, not just consuming liquids, but water in its pure form, water and the increase of water intake, will definitely help with hair growth right because our body needs that, in order to perform its functions. Having a hormonal imbalance can definitely play a big role in stunted hair growth or hair that just doesn't seem like it is growing anymore. Our bodies are constantly trying to regulate themselves so having something like a hormonal imbalance can be so detrimental to our hair. I'M trying to let you know after I had my daughter and gave birth to my baby a couple weeks after that my hormones were completely and totally out of whack and what happened after that. All of my edges, my hairline guys from here to here my edges completely fell out and I was upset. I was like what is going on. You know I was. I was trying to do everything that I was doing. I was still taking my prenatal vitamins and I was just at a loss as to you know. Why is my hair like like falling out and why why won't my edges grow back? It took a while for them to come back in so I went to my doctor and you know he basically said like. Oh, it's! It'S! Your hormones, he's like your hormones are, you know imbalanced because you've just given birth and it takes a while, you know, or can take a little bit of time for your body to balance itself out when it comes to your hormones. So if you feel like you, have scented hair growth, you should definitely go to your doctor and get some blood work done to see. If you have a hormonal imbalance and then you know, go with your care provider to see about ways to actually go about, fixing that so having a deficiency of vitamins and minerals can definitely lead to stunted hair growth hair that just will not grow right. So if you are deficient in vitamin A vitamin D - and you know other vitamins that can definitely affect your hair's growth cycle and the ability for your hair to grow at all and trust me, there are people who have said like hey, you know they are severely Anemic and they are lacking in, you, know, Iron, and they found out that, because they were low in iron, it was affecting their hair's ability to grow, and other vitamin and mineral deficiencies can also lead to stunted hair growth as well. So this is another important part for you too. If you suspect that you have stunted hair growth, I mean you feel like it's been a year and your hair hasn't budged. An inch definitely go to the doctor, because blood work can reveal a lot of things but not have having the right vitamins and minerals and being deficient can cause your stunted hair growth. For me myself, when I go to the doctor - and I have my blood work, I you know was told to always take a daily multivitamin that gives me you know that boost if I'm not getting it from my General Nutrition. Another thing that can cause stunted hair growth is stress, yes, stress can cause your hair to stop growing. It'S been scientifically proven. There is even a specific medical term for stress, induce either hair loss or stress induced stunted hair growth right. So if you become so stressed, your hair follicles will actually begin to fall out or your body will stop producing new hair follicles to grow new hair. But I will put a link down in the description box that perfectly describes the stress induced condition. So that way you can learn even more about it, but yes, it can cause your hair follicles to not even produce any new hair. So when people say you know their hair hasn't grown, I mean they literally mean it like it can make it so that your hair does not grow anymore, because your hair follicles will not have the ability to produce new hair. So, whatever hair that you have on your head, once you go through that you know hair growth cycle and the hair falls out. That is it there's no more hair there. Because of that, so you really need to work on finding ways to reduce the amount of stress in your life. Like sis get a hobby start taking walks. You know do those other types of things: okay, because you need to alleviate as much stress as possible, especially if you are experiencing stunted hair growth and you feel like your hair - is not growing something else that can cause Sunset: hair growth or hair not to grow. At all is if you have thyroid issues, our thyroid is something that is very important and it helps with regulating the body systems as well. So if you have, let's say a very overactive thyroid or a very underactive thyroid or any type of potential thyroid issues, this can cause stunted hair growth or it can even lead to hair loss in a lot of people again getting that blood work done and talking To your physician is crucial in being able to catch these things. Please please, please y'all! Please do not wait years until you go to the doctor to figure out what is wrong with you going as soon as possible, going as soon as you feel like something is wrong is a great way in order to get on a treatment program to catch things. Early and basically to help like restore your hair as much as possible and looking out for those type of signs. No one knows your body better than you and if you feel like something is wrong, you have to go check it out and trust me. I know many times: doctors do not take what you're saying you know seriously they'll try to you, know pacify and say: oh no, you know it might not be this or that keep pushing keep pushing until you find the answer, but hopefully again getting that blood work And stuff done can reveal whether or not you know you have those type of things and again going to a specialist that specializes in being able to look at your thyroid and seeing if you have thyroid issues that can help. Possibly, you know lead you to the culprit of why your hair is either falling out so much or why your hair is not growing at all anymore now. Another reason that can cause stunted hair growth or hair loss overall is honestly just using the wrong type of things in your hair. For example, if you are a person that chemically relaxes your hair, you could be harming your hair, follicles and not even know it. A lot of people suffer from chemical burns from that a lot of people get burns on their scalp from bleaching and other things, and having a healthy scalp is super important right. It'S just very important when it comes to maintaining the health of our hair. We cannot talk about hair without acknowledging that we need to keep our scalp as healthy as as well. Alright, and another thing that can lead to stunted hair growth and or hair loss is honestly wearing the wrong hairstyles guys traction alopecia. She is very real. She is coming, she's come for edges, she's come for the crown of people's heads. I don't know if you've ever seen. Pictures of people who have severe traction alopecia, but it's like their scalp in those areas, is raw like there's, there's nothing there. It'S like shiny, because the scalp has become so damaged. Wearing just improperly tight hairstyles can cause sun to growth and even more it can cause hair loss, because once you damage your scalp to a certain degree, the hair will not grow anymore, like there will be no follicles there, because the hair follicles will essentially die from Being ripped out and they will not grow back because the scalp is damaged and guys, if you notice that anything has changed with your hair. If your hair starts to, you know thin in an area if it begins to thin overall, if you notice that you're losing you know an excessive amount of hair, do not delay, call call your doctor, but guys those are the things that you need to look out For and the most common reasons why people suffer from stunted growth, why their hair is not growing or why they are suffering from hair loss.
