HOW HAIR GROWS

DANDRUFF - CAN IT CAUSE HAIR LOSS?

Did you know your hair’s already been growing for 2 weeks before it comes out of the scalp? That’s right! Luscious, healthy looking hair starts inside the scalp – about 4 mm down to be exact.

How hair is grown

It’s in a soft, vulnerable state and not yet mature, until it emerges from the scalp. That’s why the surrounding environment and the way you treat your hair is so important.

As such, you need to start caring for your scalp to ensure strong and healthy hair.

HOW CAN I MAKE MY HAIR GROW FASTER?

Protect it from damage. That’s the best thing you can do to help your hair grow.

Hair grows at a relatively consistent rate of 1 cm a month. So, if your hair is at your shoulders, it’s about 2 years old. If you damage your hair by over exposing it to heat, over styling or malnutrition, it’s going to break.

That means the best way to grow your hair longer is to keep your scalp in good shape, and protect your hair from damage and breakage.

A fantastic way of protecting your hair is by ensuring it has enough moisture. Without hydration in your hair strands, these are more prone to weaken, break and fall victim to those damaging factors.

Head & Shoulders Supreme tackles both in one – It hydrates your scalp to ensure a healthy foundation for hair growth while also moisturizing your hair to avoid breakage and damage. By using this Shampoo and Conditioner regularly you can make your hair look 10 years younger!

3 PHASES OF HAIR GROWTH

Your hair goes through 3 phases as it grows – growing, transitioning, and shedding.

  • Growing (Anagen). The growing phase normally lasts from 2-6 years depending on your genetics. About 85-90% of your hair is in this phase.

  • Transitioning (Catagen). In this phase the hair splits from the blood supply and gets pushed up, even though it’s not growing. This lasts for about 2 weeks.

  • Shedding (Telogen). The normal process of shedding will occur in the Telogen phase, which involves freeing the hair base from the root and the hair falling. If you’re worried about how much hair you’re losing, know that some shedding is completely normal. In fact, we lose about 100 hairs every day.

This cycle of growing, transitioning and shedding is then repeated.
