Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

Did you know your hair is always growing, resting, or shedding? Your hair follows a natural cycle that helps it stay healthy!

The 4 Stages of Hair Growth:

1. Anagen (Growth Phase)

- Hair actively grows about half an inch per month.

- Lasts 2 to 7 years.

2. Catagen (Transition Phase)

- Short phase (2-3 weeks).

- Hair stops growing and prepares to shed.

3. Telogen (Resting Phase)

- Hair rests but stays attached.

- Lasts 3-4 months.

- New hair is forming underneath.

4. Exogen (Shedding Phase)

- Hair naturally falls out.

- Normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day.

Why is this important?

- Helps you stay patient with hair growth.

- Hair loss can occur if stress, illness, or scalp issues push hair into the shedding phase too soon.

Tips to Support Healthy Hair Growth:

- Keep your scalp clean and healthy.

- Eat a nutrient-rich diet (protein, iron, vitamins).

- Minimize stress.

- Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the scalp.

- Stay consistent with your hair care routine.

Your Hair is Always Growing - Trust the Process!

Healthy hair starts at the scalp, grows with time, and shines with care.
