My hair wont grow

[sochi]

I dyed my hair a couple of years ago and i hate the colour so im waiting for my hair to grow through with the natural colour. I only have shoulder length hair and my roots are no where near my shoulders so why isnt my hair growing, Over a year its only grown about 2 inches. I have a healthy diet but would straightening affect my growth rate?

There are quite a few things you can use to stimulate your hair growth - Im not saying you'll wake up with Rapunzel-style locks, but it does help. Usually placenta extracts are most effective - you rub it into your scalp, and it strenghthens the follicle, and helps the hair grow...But your hair type is very important as well - Im guessing its curly if you want it straightened, but how curly exactly are we talking? :)

umm, its slightly wavy and what do you mean by placenta extracts?

Well, there are quite a few hair products that have animal placenta extract in them, as they stimulate hair growth, strength, etc. You can get it in ampules, and then rub into your scalp, or you can get them in shampoos and hair masks and stuff (def. easier to use) - and they also have lost of essential oils, plant extracts and things. If youre in the UK, have a look here http://www.garden.co.uk/acatalog/GENERAL_HAIR_CARE.html The Phyto Products are generally very good, and if youre not too sure about the placenta, Im sure youd be able to find something else in their line. Hope this helps :)
