Question: What could this be.? Please give me some insight..?
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if there might be something wrong with me or am I just being paranoid.? Well I got my hair cut four months ago and I have just noticed it has not grown at all. I do not use any heat in my hair because I have no time other then to brush my hair in the mornings and pull it back. I am 27 years old and a female who hairs has always grown pretty fast until now.

I am always over paranoid about anything that happens and just need some input. Could it be from stress.? I take care of my sister four kids and my Dad and my mother passed seven months ago, so I do have stress in my life. Could it be that or do you think something else might be wrong.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Since hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein may cause some thinning in hair or a retardation in the growth cycle. The converse is true, If you eat a protein-rich diet it will often result in improved hair growth. However, if you are under severe stress it is helpful to reduce the stress as much as possible. Consider meditation or relaxation as a way to cut back on any major stress in your life. Your hair will love your for it.

Beta-carotene is essential to hair growth. This is because it is converted to vitamin A as the body needs it, helps maintain normal growth and bone development, protective sheathing around nerve fibers, as well as promoting healthy skin, hair and nails.

Beta-carotene is found in green and yellow vegetables and fruits.

Protein Is Important

Some nutritional experts suggest the dietary utilization of calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ and a daily dose of two tablespoons of granulated lecithin to maximize hair growth, strength and beauty.

Other good food sources for protein include fish, eggs, beans and yogurt. Soy protein has also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair growth.

One study of the results of soy on the hair found that it not only strengthened the hair but caused it to grow. A great source of soy is tofu.

Warning: Always consult your doctor BEFORE you undertake any new type of vitamin, mineral program or herbal program of any type to make sure it does not interfere with any medical treatment you may currently be on.

Another secret hair helper is rest and sleep. It has been discovered that to grow faster, hair needs an adequate amount of sleep (7-9 hours are suggested).

Hair Growing Supplements
Eat right, exercise, reduce stress, rest, gets lots of sleep and your are well on your way to maximizing your hair growth potential.

While eating the proper foods that contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals will help, it is a lot more difficult to guarantee that you will get all the vitamins and minerals you need from the foods you eat.

I'm sure it has grown some; maybe so little that it's not noticeable.
Could be your diet, and/or stress. Stress usually makes your hair fall out.
I wouldn't worry about it. :)Health Question & Answer
