Why is my hair stuck at the same length?

Your hair seems stuck at the same length because hair is breaking off at the ends at the same rate it's growing from the root, a "hair growth plateau," often due to damage, dryness, poor nutrition, stress, heat styling, or infrequent trims that leave split ends to travel up the hair shaft. Genetics also plays a role in your hair's "terminal length," but most plateaus can be overcome by focusing on hair health, moisture, gentle handling, regular trims, and a balanced diet.

What damages hair the most?

These elements compromise the hair's cuticle, making it vulnerable and weak over time.
