I think my hair has stopped growing.

   If you have been trying to grow out your hair and it seems like it isn't getting any longer, here are a few things to consider. First of all, like all things in our body, hair length is controlled by our genetic code. It will get to a certain length and then break off or fall out. The reason that you don't notice it is that hair is regenerative.You are constantly losing and regrowing hair so that when it gets to its genetically programmed length it seems like your growth cycle has come to a halt.
   Another thing to consider is the illusion of length. Your hair grows a half an inch to an inch per month. If your hair is three inches long when you start growing it out, your monthly growth is noticable. When it gets to be ten inches long, your monthly gain proportionately isn't as great, giving you the illusion that your growth rate is slowing down. It's not that it is growing any more slowly, you just don't notice the gains as much.
   Remember that your hair grows from the inside, out making it important to stick with a good, balanced diet. Vitamin and mineral supplements may help you with your quest for long, luxurious locks. Check with your local health food store as they have the latest information on nutritional supplementation. Make sure that you are using a professional haircare regimen at home. Listen to your hairstylist, they know what is best for your hair.This will keep your hair in it's optimum condition, allowing you to keep it on your head for a longer period of time.
