WHY ISN'T MY HAIR GROWING?!


When you see natural hair queens on Instagram or on TV, you have dreams of having such beautiful, long hair. You see these women twist and curl and manipulate their hair into forms that can only be explained by natural hair pros. They may even be the reason why you decided to start the natural hair journey in the first place. But you’ve been growing your hair diligently for years now but your hair is not mid-back length yet. You don’t know why even though you follow all the instructions the manufacturer wrote down. 


You are stuck with the same hair length. You now believe that your hair has stopped growing, the same way people stop growing when they reach a certain age. The good part is, you have a faint glimmer of hope that you are wrong and your hair will still grow. We are here to tell you that faint glimmer is about to bloom bright and beautiful! 


Your hair grows about half an inch every month and about 6 inches of newly grown hairs every year. That’s an amazing amount of growth. So why does it seem like it’s not growing? Why doesn’t your hair look like the queens of natural hair on TV and Instagram?

How To Style Shrinkage

So ladies, we usually term "Shrinkage" as a Natural Hair Problem, right? A lot of times we complain about shrinkage because it usually means a head full of tangles eventually - at least that's what happens to me. Additionally, since more and more people are looking for longer natural hair, anything that makes it seem like their hair is shorter (aka shrinkage) is not very welcome.

I recently decided to stop fighting the shrinkage too much and work with it. I came up with a few styles that could accommodate my shrinkage and in the future, I won't fret too much about it.

They were pretty easy to come up with and required only a few tools - hair band and bobby pins.
