    Hair growth has a lot to do with nutrition and health, so if your diet is poor it can cause unhealthy hair. The right vitamins and minerals play a major role in keeping your hair healthy. Any nutritional deficiencies can lead to hair not growing. Your overall health and body as an impact on your hair, Beta-carotene is also essential to hair growth, and B6, folic acid. However are you currently on any medications? I would also Highly recommend not putting chemicals in your hair especially if your hair is in a vulnerable state... You did note that you relax your hair so I hope that prior to you putting the honey blonde color in that you didn't have a relaxer.. I would recommend you hold off from the hair color, and the best hair color to use when relaxing is a semi-permanent hair color or temporary dye for minimum damage.
