Help! My Natural Hair is not Growing!

Ladies, you’ve all probably experienced that moment where your natural hair decides to be a rebellious toddler and sits down and says “no! I won’t go!” This is the plateau moment. The time you seem to be seeing your hair in a state of “no growth”.  If you hair has been altered chemically, then you know where the possible problem may be branching from.  On the other hand, if your locks are in their natural state, then you’re confused!  Natural hair should be growing with a certain consistency (although some grow faster than others).  If your hair growth has slowed down to an almost non-existent state, you could pin point the problem by considering the following reasons.
