How to Promote and Stimulate Natural Hair Growth

\n\n\nIt has not been proven that any product applied externally to the hair or scalp can promote, capsule stimulate or accelerate natural hair growth. Most people who complain of little or no hair growth are blaming it on the wrong person.  They think the problem is lack of natural growth from the scalp, patient when in reality; the problem is the hair is breaking off from the end for a variety of reasons. If hair growth stops, then baldness begins, and yet you have people complaining their hair has not grown at the all over a period of years.  If the person has hair then it is growing. Once hair stops growing, it is eliminated by way of attrition. In other words, as every hair shaft dies out due to the normal life span of the hair shaft (5 to 7 years), then it will not be replaced by another. Therefore, permanent baldness becomes apparent.\n\nThe truth of the matter is hair grows at the same exact rate as the fingernails. And just as your fingernail breaks due to normal day-to-day activity and maintains only a certain length, the hair shaft does the same thing due to misuse of combing, brushing, perms, tints, relaxers, pressing and hot curling.  They come off a little at a time at the same rate or more from the ends as the hair grows from the scalp.  Therefore, natural hair growth goes unnoticed.  Manufacturers who identify their products with the word “GRO” are using a non-existent word, thus sending you a subliminal message as to its ability to grow hair. However, in all fairness these products will not harm the hair and may have some benefits but hair growth is not one of them.\n\nThe only way that a product can benefit, and stimulate hair growth is if it is consumed orally and gotten into the blood stream as a vitamin. Certain vitamins that can benefit healthy hair are available and so labeled. The root of the hair (papilla) dips into the blood stream and picks up the nutrients and supplies them though the cortex and medulla to enhance healthy hair. Hair health is promoted from within the hair shaft. Products that are applied to the outer surface of the hair are for the most part to enhance the appearance of the hair and to repair the outer surface (cuticle) if it contains Keratin, Amino Acid or Poly PepTide Proteins.\n\nThere is no product you can purchase that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration that can cause, promote, or accelerate natural hair growth.  So, rather than buy products that will reconstruct and maintain the existing hair. Then and only then, will natural hair growth become noticeable and apparent.  However, it is important to remember that any treatment designed to promote longer hair must start with a hair cut, because you must first eliminate the split, damaged and frizzy ends, otherwise they will continue to split down the entire hair shaft, then break off somewhere along the way. Most people who complain of a lack of hair growth will not allow it to be cut because they think it is not growing.\n\nThe truth of the matter is that it does not appear to grow simply because they will not allow it to be cut. Surprisingly, if you submit to the first initial cut, then continue to clip the ends every 4-6 weeks, you will notice considerably longer hair in a very short period of time.
