7 Answers to the Age Old Question “Why Is My Child’s Natural Hair Not Growing?”

Before we begin, it should be stated, that hair always grows. Unless there’s an underlying medical condition, at every point in time (if your child is 6 months or older) at least some portion of your Afro Baby’s scalp is in the growth or anagen phase. With that being said, many parents get frustrated with their little one’s lack of length and assume that their hair just isn’t growing. In most instances, it’s not that the hair isn’t growing, but that the hair isn’t retaining length.
