Maybe it has stopped growing, but maybe not. How long was your hair four years ago? How long has it been at this same length?

Some people's hair just grows more slowly than others. Slow growth does not necessarily mean that you are finished growing.

But even if it grows no longer, it looks pretty from what I can see in your photo. Pretty is good.:flower: Enjoy your pretty hair!

In 4 years I've not grown past my avatar. I feel your frustration. Hang in there and your hair sounds lovely.

It would help if you explain your routine to us, so we can see whether or not something's up with that.

Maybe brushing your curls out causes breakage? IDK, just guessing.

Do you use dye or heat? Those things can cause breakage for sure, especially if your hair is F.

I'd be worried about the lack of conditioner too. My hair would have a tantrum if I went even one day without. Maybe silicones are what you need? Is there a reason you're silicone free?

Yes, I am also :shocked: about the lack of conditioner. I know a curly who refuses to use conditioner regularly and his hair has been stalled at the same length for years. It's too fragile without the conditioner to grow any further because of all the breakage.

I'be been using pure life rosemary shampoo and that really kicked my hair into growth mode :D (http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Life-Soap-Co-Rosemary/dp/B001BBHME4/ref=sr_1_4?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1439996884&sr=1-4&keywords=rosemary+shampoo)
I also use one of those head massagers in the morning and give me scalp a good finger rub in the shower as well. About once a week I use (http://www.sheamoisture.com/Jamaican-Black-Castor-Oil-Strengthen-Grow-Restore-Hair-Serum_p_836.html) as my oil. I rub my scalp down in it and let it sit between an hour to over night. My ends have also been pretty fragile so I put some oil on my ends as well before putting it up. This has all helped really kick start some new growth on my head, personally. Have you thought about wearing your hear up more often? (assuming you don't already). All I can think is with such curly hair it might just be breaking off at the ends. Or maybe your scalp just needs something to really kick it back into growing. :D
