when my hair was &quot;oppressed&quot; it would start to break as soon as one bead of new growth grew out

i would wear my hair in braids - get get growth and wham - as soon as i permed it - breakage

my father used to call it 6-inches of burnt straw

if i did a press and curl that also alleviated the breakage 'cause you don't have new growth

have you tried straightening? or you may want to try some braids to give your hair a breather . . .

or you can dread

</div></div>

But the hair isn't breaking. My comb and brush aren't full of hair. I can't stand braids.

My health is good. I'm not on any meds.

I alternate between Mizani and Redken shampoos and condidtioners. I use Mizani relaxer.

I take vitamins...nothing special One a day womens.

Re: Me Hair Stop Grow

i think hair grows faster in summer - mine does

if it's not growing - i don't think i would cut it shorter

and all braids are not the same

although i can understand your feelings

towards the end of my braid days - it didn't feel any better than a weave - and i guess it is a weave in some ways

Well me figgah, since it not growing, now is a good time to wear short hair.

I just don't like the way braids look. Plus is too much hair pon di head. Same wid full head weave, don't like that either.

Re: Me Hair Stop Grow

<span style="font-family: 'Fixedsys'">i googled &quot;my hair stopped growing&quot; and there is loads of info</span>

there are many factors that can control hair growth and hair loss. The thyroid gland is just one of them.
This is very unusual to have the hair just stop growing. Is there a pattern to it? In other words, is it ALL of the hair that’s not growing or just some areas? Has any of the non-growing hair shed, or is it all intact?
The first question you should answer is, do you have any hair loss in your family history? If you do, you can study the cause of their hair problems, which might shed light on what is causing your particular problem.
Second, you are on two medications that can cause hair loss. One is Prozac and the other is Atenolol. We certainly do not recommend you discontinue the Atenolol with your cardiac history, but you must be aware that it can cause hair loss. There are no reports that either medication will stop hair growth.Other things can cause hair loss. One is the thyroid, but you should also rule out increased levels of male hormones or problems with your hormones. Check a DHEA level, testosterone level, FSH, T4, TSH, and Ferritin Level to check your iron stores, and CBC to evaluate you for anemia. A well balanced diet or vitamins are essential to hair growth.
It seems that your problem seems to be primarily that your hair is not growing any longer. This can be a problem for some females. There are many females who find that the anagen stimulators in Hair Cycle shampoo and conditioner produce a healthy hair environment that prolongs anagen. Therefore, it is definitely something you should consider.
Hair length is completely dependent on the duration of anagen or the growing phase of hair. Something has retarded the duration of anagen in your case. It could be nutritional or it could be some other physiological condition that you will have for a short term or chronically. Perhaps it is a medication effect even though it is not mentioned in the literature as a side affect of any of your medications. Blow drying should not have a negative affect on your hair.

I do suffer from anemia, but I have been taking my vitamins and iron supplements.
Something to look into further though

Thanks Sev.

This is pretty.

Alternatively, cut your hair in short afro and forego relaxers for the next 6 months or so to give your hair and scalp a chance to recover. Getting a relaxer every 2 weeks is too frequent.
