5 REASONS YOUR HAIR ISN'T GROWING!

- Here's the tea on why it ain't working for you!
Let's face it y'all: we've got to stop pretending our hair is just one big puzzle that we'll never figure out. There are actual reasons as to why our natural hair growth is lagging, so don't play yourself! Take the info in this video and move forward in a more informed way.
THINGS USED IN TODAY'S VIDEO:
pure oils eucalyptus pre-shampoo treatment: amzn.to/2MnL5xq
fancy spray bottle: amzn.to/2WbbLG1
Here's why your hair isn't growing.
1) GENETICS - Our hair follicles are genetically programmed to grow hair over a certain period of time called the ANAGEN PHASE. That lasts for 2-4 years on average. Some people genetically have longer anagen phases than others, which means that we naturally have different lengths of time for which our follicles actively produce and lengthen hair.
Further...we genetically have different hair growth rates, which is just how FAST the follicles add protein to lengthen hair strands.
So you can imagine that someone with a long Anagen phase and fast hair growth rate would naturally have longer hair than someone with a shorter Anagen phase and slow hair growth rate. Make sense?
PRO TIP: Be sure to minimize the stress in your life, which is known to SHORTEN the anagen phase of the hair life cycle and INCREASE shedding.
2) DIET - To maximize your natural hair growth potential, be sure to maintain a balanced diet with all the necessary vitamins for healthy hair - vitamins A, B, C, D, and E are all great. You can get all of these vitamins through a normal diet, but if you have a restricted diet (i.e vegan) make sure to take supplements!
Here are my CHEAP faves
MEN'S VITAMINS: amzn.to/2T5DjuI
WOMEN'S VITAMINS: amzn.to/2FPxPjT
3) BE GENTLE - Mechanical damage due to the way you handle your hair is probably the most common reason why your hair "doesn't grow."
If your hair is GROWING at your scalp but BREAKING at your ends (which are the most fragile parts of your hair), then you won't make any progress length-wise.
Dentangle safely using a conditioner with slip, don't protective style too tightly, show some extra love to your ends and moisturize them thoroughly. All of these things compounded will help keep your hair strands in tact!
4) MOISTURE / PROTEIN BALANCE - Over-moisturizing your hair by using excessive amounts of product, water, and deep conditioner daily can physically stress your hair strands into a state of ultra-elasticity, where your hair feels mushy and stretchy. This is where you'll start to hear your hair go "pop!" whenever handling it.
At that point, it's a good idea to use something like a reconstructing conditioner, which is like a mild protein treatment.
If you overload on protein through protein treatments or products with protein in them, you might be left with stiff, brittle hair strands that just don't feel good. At that point, it's a good idea to wash and re-moisturize without any additional protein products!
5) WEAR YOUR BONNET TO BED - Humans spend an average of 230K hrs asleep throughout their lifetime. That's 230K hrs of unprotected hair if you're not wearing your satin scarf or using your silk pillowcase in bed!
DON'T PLAY YOURSELF. PROTECT YOUR HAIR AT NIGHT from undue breakage and dryness.
And that's it!

Stay moisturized. PERIOD.
Hey Will 🤗 my fav UA-camr 😍 I wanted to ask if you've ever tried rice water for a protein treatment. Its makes your hair so soft and strong. I use it once a month because I'm low porosity. People out there doing it daily and thats crazy to me because its a protein treatment.
WillOnAWhim do a rice water video and review and how to to make it
@@nkkhmm1925 i 💖 rice water. It makes my hair so soft. I hope he does a video on it. I would love to hear his thoughts on it
Wow, I was just thinking about protein and moisture today. I did rice water treatments every week for five weeks straight and my hair started shedding after the fifth treatment. I began over hydrating my hair daily to combat the protein overload. I was trying to figure out if my hair is hydro fatigued and how to fix it when I got your notification. Thanks for the video
Why did I feel like I was in trouble when he said "you're not using your satin bonet at night."? Lol
“HE NEEDS SOME... moisture” IM KRYING😭💗 (2020 edit) Not this comment getting 3.2k likes 😯 youtube run me my CHEQQ!! I’m ✨broke✨

😫
Stream songs for you ✨
The vitamin D joke had me ROLLING!!!! I'm so immature smh lol
I’ve replayed it soo many times
“OOOOOO HE NEED SOME *moisture* “
So glad you mentioned genetics! Folks always asked how my hair got so long and I'm like "GENETICS" 😂
Yes but I'm scared to say that cause some people get made and think that you are bossy :/
@@manastati fuck what anybody else say
Yes, but it’s not always genetics though, my hair is waist length and a lot of people in my family don’t have that. it’s really all about taking care of your hair.
Btw your hair has gotten so long yassss! Come through growth 👏🏾
Who felt attacked 🤣🤣 ❤ Will
😂😂😂
“Stuck like a politician on a simple question” this video is FULL of quotables
me, literally eating fast food for 2 weeks straight: damn i guess i got bad genes 😔
Then it's me and you both coz fast food is my weakness
Same 😭😭it’s tuff out here
I'm sorry bonnet I need to start appreciating you 😭❤
💪🙌🙌🙌
And also satin and silk is not the exact same! I know a UA-camr who actually lost hair using a satin pillowcase. So it’s all about what works for you! But definitely use silk or satin. No cotton and yesss Will these twist are giving me lifeeee!!! I can’t wait until my hair gets to that length😩
Yup silk is definitely more luxurious and is a naturally occuring fiber, whereas satin is mixture of things, including silk. I'd say get silk if you can afford it, but Satin isn't a bad alternative!
I hate satin. It feels cotton-y to me
The thing people don’t understand is that “satin” is not a material, it’s a “finish”. Most satin scarves are actually polyester with a satin (smooth) finish. It is best to buy silk scarves with satin finishes. And yes, there are silk scarves with rough finishes.
Ok, How did a satin pillowcase cause them to lose hair?
Will: your diet
me: looks at disgusting burrito i got from taco bell because it was the only trhing open
will:
me: takes bite of burrito
oh lord 🤣
youvee comment lol I was eating icecream when he said that
"You might be stuck like Tinashe and her music career... " 😂😪💀
You spoke about genetics and it made me not feel so bad. I’ve been natural my whole life, and it only ever grows to one point. It seems to get bigger? But the actual length has never passed the middle of my back.
Biotin made my hair grow, I saw a big difference
Pills or hair products with biotin
we really don’t deserve you, will. the effort and the editing you put in all your videos is unmatched. you make info more fun, i love you! ❤️❤️ (thank god for your humor, vines were my life.😂😂)
Great tips! Love your hair boo 💕
thank youuu!
i’ve never clicked subscribe so fast in my life. your hair and personality are everything!!🥰
i’m still sad my hair won’t grow, but your video cheered me up and taught me things. thanks boo!
I felt embarrassed watching this video 😩 I definitely handle my hair too rough for twists and I drench and moisturize my hair 😭 thank you for enlightening me
Can you please try the "miss Jessie's coiling custard" and "pillow soft curls" cream. ?💖💖
How am I already laughing 18 secs in 🤣
Thank you for saying that hair growth is genetic. I am a firm believer. 💪🏾
I gave my students that connect the dots pix last week.
OMG 😂 I really miss simple assignments like that.
Look at Will taking me back to Bio 156 class lol
OKAYYYYYYYY
Hun you still SLAY 😂😂
Moisture/Protein balance! Say it louder for the people in the back! I had to learn the hard way. I followed too people with low porosity hair and overly conditioned my hair. I now alternate between a deep conditioner and a mild protein treatment weekly.
I had a couple of days last week where i couldn't be bothered doing my hair...no satin bonnet, no re moisturising, no detangling. Oml i lost so much hair when it came to wash day!! I learnt my lesson...
a testimony whew chile!
Depression is a bitch
same hair
I cut my hair for cancer patients now I want to grow it back
OHH HE NEEDS SOME *m o i s t u r e*
I have locs and I’m loving your channel .. soooo educational!!
so then why doesn't my hair stop growing right after I cut it?
because this isn't true, your hair never stops growing indefinitely, it stops growing at a certain point of each year but then restarts the growth cycle.
the reason people's hair seem to stop growing is that they're not taking enough care of it and the hair strands are break off faster than they're growing.
Exactly
HighonMemes faxxx
💯
exactly. I had a patch of hair that was short for years but turns out i had this tick were i would run my hand through my hair in that spot and break my hair off/pull it out
Exactly
Never heard anyone mention genetics! Makes so much sense! Thank you btw I’m a new subbie lol I love your humor. Wish me luck on my natural hair journey ✊🏽❤️
I’ve watched hundreds of these types of videos AND THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST & most entertaining!
You just became my new favorite hair guru
Your room is lowkey aesthetic
I came here for hair knowledge. And left with a sermon 😩🔥😂
When he said he looked like Felicia, subscribed! 😂😂 Love this guy
Clicked this so fast lol right before my class 🙌🏾
My sister and I were just discussing vitamins! Moisture is the key!! Thanks Will😀
Your hair looks so healthy!
I don’t depend on genetics when it comes to my hair. Sorry, I believe in my mind to change my reality.
Genetics belief is limiting. Mind over matter and care program. He has great ideas to help though.
@Janiya Gowdy Correct.💖
Ohh do u use subs?
I agree, because we will never know the limits of our genetics,
I don't think people are able to perfectly take care of their hair enough to find the limits.
I often find people with broken ear length or shoulder length hair saying that since long hair is genetics they're giving up
Love your editing style! And thanks for the content. I feel like my hair is always shoulder length, I'm gunna be wearing it up more, so there won't be breakable at the ends.
I was dead when you threw up that sink for zinc hahahahahahaha. love the video. great information!
Mmmm the first one is not completely correct. It’s all true but 85-90% of the hair is always in anagen, catagen 6-8% and 3-4% telogen. Each strand of hair is at different stages of the hair cycle. Meaning your hair 85-90% of the hair is always growing
In Space sure. what did I say that wasn’t correct?
Its more wording that’s what i meant. It sounded like you was saying that your whole head of hair stops growing at one time. Anyways LOVE your vids ❤️
school has blessed me w the closing and then you blessed me w a new upload 😩🙌
Thanks Love for actual and factual info! 💚💚💚
*You've helped me love my hair & you're hilarious* love you Will 🥥❤️
You need to make a podcast! Love your channel!!
Vitamin D is important because it helps with the absorption and use of vitamin C. Thats why its needed for hair growth as well. love this video!
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND IT IS AMAZING
Your editing lol so fun
His video was actually really helpful
Breakin off lika kitkat....lmao
🍫
This video is so bomb oml
Will, can you not clock me about not wearing my bonet at night 😭😭. . I’m TRYING OHHHKAAYY !!
😂😂😂
Wash day it is! *Pulls out that flash drive photography*
Me: I need that spray
*looks in description*
Me: YAS SIS
*Subscribes*
Me: Lets look for more stuff to possibly waste my money.
I love this editing
"stuck like a politician on a simple question" PERIOD
FINALLY.... A REEEEEAAAAAL HAIR GURU!!!!
I’m trying everything to grow my hair! I’ve noticed that my hair really only grows if I take vitamins or if I’m wearing a protective style. If I try on my own...slow broth or barely any!😹
I learned so much watching this😭 but you’re hilarious, your visuals took me out😭😭😭
How are you not at 1mil subs yet ? 🤔
New subbie!!! I've been binge watching your videos and getting my entire life!
I used the Nothing But Healing deep conditioner and it seems to be a protein deep conditioner because it gave my curls more structure. It gave me spirals I didn't know I could have. 😂
Whats the same sis? I want the tea
Everyday, I am taunted by people with long hair, but no more, I WILL get my Diavolo look no matter what
Watching this while eating greasy food and stressing about college 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Thank you UA-cam algorithm - this was an awesome video.
Started growing my hair out about April; your videos are money. Plus, that sink gif when you said “zinc” was priceless. 👏🏾👏🏾
He gave us allllll the tea wth im- 🥺🥺💗
I watched this for 5seconds and subscribed😂🙌🏾
While you were doing your hair I was doing my hair 😂😂. Really amazing video you gave some tips I never heard of before. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Stay moisturized 😥 that's what my hair is lacking. I seriously need help with my hair. 😭 It's really bad. Trying out products to see what will save my hair from all damages.
Try Shea Moisture Raw Shea butter line especially the deep conditioner.
Robyn Kirsten also Shea moisture Jamaican black caster oil line
@@doThatGWalk thank u so much. Will try that out.
@@chrisandthemike9020 thanks hey will check that as well
Cantu leave in conditioner works really well for me to where my hair is moisturized but not oily when it dries and it really defines my curls
I feel attacked but I am so glad I learned a lot! 😂 I would always have a leave-in conditionner in my hair. I had no idea it could be somewhat harmful until now.
You still be looking cute eith your crazy looking hair 😫💓💓💓💓💓scientific and all
silk pillowcase off amazon saved my hair never been happier
IMM SLEEEP”he needs some *mOiStUrE* ”
I don't agree that some people can't grow their hair long because of genetics.... Everyone can grow long hair. I'm treating an elderly woman's hair, who had never long hair her whole life and she is almost 80. Last week her daughter and granddaughter thought she had a few extensions in her hair. I told them that it was entirely her own hair. They were extremely shocked 😉
I agree with you on the moisture/protein balance of your hair. I learned about that in November 2018, that took my hair to the highest level. My hair hardly sheds and is growing very fast.
you know im here for it!
You definitely kept my attention the entire time!!! 👏🏽 New Subbie!!
Can we all give spend a minute and thank Will
Thank you will ❤️💓
bro where were u when i had to do power slides in highschool😂😂😂
Thanks Will for the protein use education. I have been asking for that. This video was very helpful. My hair is currently acting like a wayward teen, it just ain't listening right now. Much needed!! Thank you
