Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing (and What to Do About It)

You’re doing everything right—the fancy shampoo, the supplements, even the silk pillowcase.But your hair still isn’t growing. It feels thinner. Slower. Maybe even stuck.

Let’s be clear: it’s not your fault.If your hair growth has stalled, there’s usually a deeper reason—and it’s almost always inside the body, not just on the scalp.

1. Scalp Buildup Can Block Growth

Your scalp is skin—and like the rest of your body, it needs regular cleansing and circulation.When oil, dead skin, and product buildup block follicles, new growth can’t push through.

What helps:

• Scalp facials to gently exfoliate, detox, and increase blood flow

• Daily scalp brushing with a soft bristle brush

• Scalp-safe oils and serums that support balance—not clog pores

2. Hormones Could Be Out of Balance

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, hormonal shifts are a likely culprit.Estrogen and progesterone support healthy growth cycles, while imbalances (especially excess androgens like DHT) can shrink follicles.

What helps:

• Testing your hormones, especially during perimenopause

• Supporting your nervous system and liver detox pathways

• Tailored supplements—not one-size-fits-all guesses

3. Your Body May Be Nutrient-Depleted

Hair is non-essential to survival, which means your body deprioritizes it when nutrients are low.The most common deficiencies that affect hair growth?

• Iron

• Zinc

• B vitamins (especially biotin and B12)

• Omega-3s

• Magnesium

What helps:

• Functional lab testing to uncover what’s missing

• A nourishing food-first approach with targeted supplements

• Giving your body the raw materials to rebuild

4. Chronic Stress = Disrupted Growth Cycles

Long-term stress increases cortisol and sends hair follicles into “rest mode” (called telogen effluvium).This can show up as slowed growth, sudden shedding, or dullness.

What helps:

• Restoring your stress response through breathwork, sleep, and nervous system regulation

• Functional testing to track cortisol rhythm throughout the day

• Gentle movement and scalp massage to reconnect with your body
