Hair growth phases
The hair growth of a woman is divided into three phases, each of which is responsible for its own process.
- The first phase is anagen, when a new bulb is formed. This phase is considered the longest of all, because the formation of a new bulb takes up to two years.
- The second phase is catagen, when the end of the first phase occurs and the regression period begins.
- The third phase - the early telogen is responsible for the rest of the hair, and the late for its loss.
How much hair grows in a month
In a month, hair grows from about 0.35 mm to 1.5 centimeters, which is influenced by many factors. In addition to hair growth, their daily loss occurs, which most often we simply do not notice.
How much hair grows in a year
On average, this figure varies from 12 to 15 cm per year, depending on the type of hair, their condition, as well as genetics.
The truth about hair growth
Hair never grows after death, but grows only throughout a person’s life. Starting at the age of 30, this growth slows down, and closer to old age it stops and the hair falls out more than it grows.
How much hair falls out per day
The rate of hair loss per day is about 100 pieces. The usual amount is so insignificant that many women simply do not notice the loss.
But when you see a rather big tuft of hair on your comb, this is an alarming call to see a doctor.
What affects the speed of hair
The speed of hair is affected primarily our environment, water and food.
If you are in a dusty, factory-polluted city, then special attention should be paid to hair cleansing, if this does not happen, then the hair will stop its growth, practically not adding in length.
If the water is too hard or soft, which dries the hair or does not completely wash out dirt, sweat, grease, all this interferes with the rapid growth of hair.
Malnutrition, in which there is little vitamin, micro and macro elements, does not give hair nutrients for their healthy appearance, as well as rapid growth.
How to accelerate hair growth
- If you see that your hair has almost left its growth, then it's time to check the thyroid gland. After all, the correct and fast hair growth depends on her work.
- You also need to pay attention to food. Eat more greens, vegetables, fish, bran and eggs.
- It is recommended to purchase a set of vitamins, with micro and macro elements, for healthy hair.
- At home, you can do a head massage, as well as apply special masks and balms to your hair. Do not get carried away with curling irons, hair dryers and trembobs, as well as hair coloring. All this badly affects the hair, slowing down its growth.
