My hair is not growing! | What to do?

Mes cheveux ne poussent pas! | Que faire?

If you've made it this far, you're probably one of those women who dream of having long hair but feel like nothing is helping them achieve this ultimate goal.

Read this, take notes, apply our advice and we'll talk again in a few months.

1. Trim your ends frequently

No no, it's not a grandmother's myth; cutting your split ends will not make your hair grow faster but it will allow you to maintain your hard-earned length. By cutting your ends at least 4 times a year, you will prevent your split ends from progressing into your lengths and breaking.

2. Protect & save your hair from heat

In a perfect world, we would use flat irons as little as possible in our hair, but life being what it is, we recommend doing everything we can to at least limit the use of heat in your hair.

When using the iron, it is essential to apply a good thermal protectant to your hair. It is so important not to neglect it, just like putting sunscreen on your skin when you go outside.

3. Strengthen your hair

Long hair is (usually) healthy hair!

Treating your hair from root to tip with products compatible with your hair type will lead you to your dream long hair. And remember, you can't repair hair that isn't damaged, you can hydrate or strengthen it!

Shampoo and conditioner

The range Pro Longer by L'Oréal Professionnel  strengthens hair from root to tip.

Redken's Extreme Length range revives damaged and tired hair by reducing breakage and split ends.

Strengthening mask

Redken Extreme Length Leave-In Conditioner strengthens lengths and ends, making them 81% less brittle.

L'Oréal Professionnel Pro Longer Renewing Mask regenerates lengths, deeply strengthens and revitalizes hair from root to tip.

Cutting-edge renovators

Amika's The Closer treatment repairs split ends instantly* while acting as a styling cream.

4. Be patient!

There is no magic cure, neither in a bottle nor in a capsule; do not let the 1001 mlm representatives convince you otherwise. Only the patience and time you devote to your hair routine will allow you to obtain beautiful, long and healthy hair!
