Nutritional Deficiencies: One of the most common reasons for stunted hair growth is a lack of essential nutrients. Your hair needs a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as biotin, vitamins A and E, and iron, to grow healthy and strong.
Usually, if your hair roots are growing but your overall length is staying the same, it's very likely that either you are getting monthly trims, which remove the same amount of hair from the ends (which are growing in at the roots), or your hair is breaking off and/or shredding at the ends.
Several factors can cause slow hair growth, including: Genetics - Determines your natural growth rate and hair cycle. Nutrient Deficiencies - Lack of key nutrients like biotin, iron, or zinc can slow hair growth. Stress - High stress levels can push hair follicles into the resting phase, delaying growth.
Butch cut. A butch is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut short in every dimension. The top and the upper portion of the back and sides are cut the same length, which generally ranges between 5 millimeters (. 25 in) and 20 millimetres (.
The simple answer is that terminal length is determined by typical levels of friction. Body hair stays short because it is subjected to a lot of friction daily. Head hair (hopefully) is subjected to less friction, so it can grow longer without the friction of life breaking a piece off of the end.

Many hair follicles stop producing new hairs. Men may start showing signs of baldness by the time they are 30 years old. Many men are nearly bald by age 60. A type of baldness related to the normal function of the male hormone testosterone is called male-pattern baldness.
Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is essential for creating the cells that develop into hair follicles. It also supports healthy bones and your immune system. If you have hair loss and low vitamin D levels, your doctor may recommend vitamin D supplements.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, which means the body's immune system attacks healthy tissues, including the hair follicles. This causes hair to fall out and prevents new hair from growing.
