Hair Growth
Question: I’m 23 and frequently travel outside for fieldwork. That said, my hair has become dull and thin with some gray hairs, and it never seems to grow longer. Is this because of diet or environment? I’d like to have thick, healthy long hair. Please help!
Answer: Frequent travel and diet changes are very taxing on the body and can weaken hair and lead to thinning. Although it seems counterintuitive, regular trims will keep ends healthy and make hair grow longer (split ends rub together causing damage and breakage, which could be why your hair seems to stay the same length). Shampoos and conditioners like Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths also help hair grow longer by protecting it from excess wear and tear. If the problem persists, see a dermatologist to rule out more serious issues like vitamin deficiencies and diseases like thyroid disorders or lupus.
