Why Isn’t My African American Hair Growing? (Chatto)
As an African American, you may have experienced the frustration of wanting longer, healthier hair but struggling to see new growth and length retention. There are a few common culprits that can stall hair growth for our hair texture:
Chemical damage: Relaxers, texturizers, dyes and other chemical treatments can cause severe damage and breakage over time. The harsh ingredients strip away the hair’s natural protective layers.
Heat damage: Excessive use of hot tools like flat irons, curling wands and blow dryers can make hair dry, brittle and prone to breakage. High heat essentially “burns” the hair cuticle.
Tight hairstyles: Frequently wearing styles like braids, weaves or buns that pull tightly on the hairline can cause traction alopecia (gradual hair loss) and hinder growth.
Dryness/Lack of moisture: African hair is naturally very dry and prone to breakage when it doesn’t get enough hydration. Using the wrong products can exacerbate this issue.
Nutritional deficiencies: Not getting enough protein, vitamins and minerals can negatively impact the hair growth cycle from the inside out.
The solution? Ditch the harsh chemicals and excessive heat in favor of a gentle, natural haircare routine. Chatto’s plant-based growth products like the 6-Plus Growth Repair Moisture Mist are designed to hydrate, strengthen and create an optimal environment for new growth.
