Before I skip to share natural diy hair growth oil for black hair, let’s find out causes for poor hair growth. Most times, the causes are the culprits.
Causes of Poor Hair Growth
There are several main causes of slow hair growth.
#1. Deficiency in vitamins is the first reason why people have poor hair growth. Perhaps we think that our normal diet is sufficient to prevent major vitamin deficiencies. However, even the slightest bit of the vitamin lacking can result in poor hair growth. Some vitamin elements that play a vital role in hair growth include Vitamin A, B, C, and D along with zinc and niacin.
#2. Stress and illness play a crucial part in hair growth. As we all know stress can create some serious health issues which disrupt the normal functioning of significant organs. Stress limits the level of oxygen that should reach the important areas of the body, one such region is hair follicles, therefore impacting the growth.
#3. The use of medications can also trigger poor hair growth such as chemotherapy, antidepressants, and beta-blockers.
In fact, research highlights that medications can cause problems like Anagen Effluvium or Telogen Effluvium. Moreover, more than often, hormonal imbalances can also prevent your hair from growing and boosting.
Studies postulate that hormonal imbalances are one of the most common reasons for the occurrence of hair loss in women.
#4. Genetics also play a role in the growth of your hair.
#5. A poor diet can also impair hair growth because of the lower blood glucose concentration in the body.
#6. Lastly, split ends, excessive use of styling tools on hair, and age also negatively influence hair growth.
Just applying a homemade oil is not enough, pay attention to above causes. Be sure to eat healthy and take hair supplements whenever needed.
