Luxurious flowing curls adorn any woman and attract admiring glances. It is difficult to grow long hair , especially if the ends are stratified, and they often have to be cut. One popular solution to this problem is the use of home remedies based on mustard natural powder.
Why do hair grow slowly?
The increase in the length of the strands occurs daily, by about 0.3-0.35 mm. For a month, the curls can grow to 1-1.6 cm. Sometimes this figure varies, depending on the period of the year and the state of the organism. If the average is below the real average, it is important to find out the reasons. That's why hair does not grow well:
- genetic features;
- age;
- diet;
- dermatological and trichological diseases;
- hormonal pathologies;
- deficiency of vitamins and minerals;
- nervous shock, stress;
- Diseases of digestion;
- improperly selected cosmetics;
- aggressive effect on the skin and strands.
