Hair growth: how does it work?
Contrary to what one might think, hair growth is a cyclical process 🔄 divided into three phases. They do not grow continuously.
The different phases of hair growth
1. Growth
The growth phase is also called anagen . Hair grows continuously, about half a centimeter per month. This stage lasts up to eight years. It is a period of maximum activity of hair follicles which are responsible for hair formation.
2. Stabilization
The stabilization phase, or catagen phase , corresponds to a transition. The hair reaches maturity, and the keratinization process is completed. At the end of this phase, we obtain a finished, strong and well-shaped hair.
3. Rest
Finally, the cycle concludes with the telogen phase . The hair no longer grows, gradually detaches itself from the roots, and eventually falls out. Once a hair is gone, the hair follicle is ready to welcome a new hair and begin a new growth cycle. 🔄
Why do some hairs grow faster?
Obviously, we are not all in the same boat!
While some of us may proudly abhor a lion's mane 🦁, others struggle to maintain a few fine little locks. 🤷♀️
Genetics is unfortunately a determining factor in the quality of our hair and against which we can do nothing. Age and the influence of hormones also play a role in the speed of hair growth.
External environmental factors also influence. If we know that stress can cause hair loss, know that pollution can too. And of course, diet is also important for growing your hair ! That’s good: we can act on this variable to find nice lengths.
How to grow your hair quickly with food supplements? 💊
The quest for long hair leads us to various methods to stimulate their growth , including the consumption of dietary supplements.
What role can dietary supplements play in hair growth?
What types of supplements should you prefer among the range of products on the market?
Here are our hair secrets in capsules and in detail. 🤫
The role of supplements in hair growth
Designed to provide the nutrients needed to build strong, resilient hair, dietary supplements are particularly beneficial if your diet doesn't cover all of your hair's needs.
Note, however, that supplements are not a miracle solution, but rather additional support for a healthy diet and a quality hair care routine.
Which food supplements should you choose to promote hair growth?
3 types of food supplements are particularly recommended to promote hair growth. Here they are :
1. Biotin
Also known as vitamin B8, biotin is famous for its role in the integrity of hair and nails. It promotes the production of keratin, an essential protein for hair structure. You can learn more about the benefits of biotin for hair here .
