Let me see if I understand - your hair isn't growing? At all? I think I would be really concerned. If your hair isn't growing, that should have nothing to do with the damage to the follicle but rather a nutrional problem. Maybe see your doctor? Are your nails growing? I think hair and nails are usually related. If they aren't also, maybe you are lacking certain vitamins in your diet?

You can go in for a good trim, (like at least and inch) because if your hair is damaged split ends will break off and do some deep conditioning treatments and stop coloring your hair for a month or two. The treatments will help, just go and purchase a deep conditioner and buy a cap and leave it on for 5 minutes about once or twice a week.

I've destroyed my hair through the years with curling irons, crimpers, hair dryers, coloring, bleaching, etc..... I still use them too. My hair would never grow, it kept breaking in the middle because of the damage I was doing to it. But I did find a shampoo and conditioner that helps alot, it's Pantene Restoratives. It say's it will repair a years worth of damage in just one month. I've been using it for two weeks now and it's working wonders. I know I sound like a commercial....lol, but I swear by it. I got my Mom using it too and she loves it. It's worth a try.

Try putting jojoba oil on the hair when it's wet and let dry naturally. Do this consecutively and hair will grow better and texture will improve.

it's not that your hair doesn't want to grow you've simply over processed it. Your hair lives off two things, protein and moisture.It's possible you may be able to revive it but chances are it may be to late, in which case your "hair not growing" is surely breakage. My suggestion to you would be to purchase REDKEN CAT treatment a good hydrating shampoo and cond. such as PUREOLOGY or REDKEN. After doing so in your shower routine shp. cat trtmnt. then cond. following timing directions on back.But don,t over do it now i would say 3 times a week for 2 wks then 1 a wk for 2 wks until in better cond. cat spray which is your protein when rinsed from hair will not make hair feel soft thats another reason for using good cond. In the end result you will end up needing to keep up with frequent trims.The next time you have your hair done choose someone wise to color and remember "Some people spend $100.00 on a shirt they wear once a month .................but you wear your hair everyday." please always use a professional.
