Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing

  From Sabine’s Chair 👑 After more than 25 years of working with natural hair, one thing I’ve learned is that our hair is always communicating with us—we just have to learn how to listen. One of the questions I hear all the time is, “Sabine, why isn’t my hair growing?” My first response is usually, “Are you sure it isn’t growing, or are you having trouble keeping the hair that you grow?” Let’s talk about the difference. Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing Understanding the Difference Between Hair Growth and Hair Retention One of the most common things I hear from clients is: “My hair just won’t grow.” But here’s something I want you to understand: your hair may actually be growing. The problem may be that you’re not retaining the length you grow.

I was one of those individuals. I used often say "I Got It "I can do it by "MYSELF." I thought that was the true meaning of being independent.
