Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

The average human scalp contains around 100,000 hairs. Each hair is made from a tough protein called keratin. Hairs grow from follicles located in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). Each day you will lose anywhere between 50 and 80 stands of hair. Each new strand of hair has a life cycle of between 2 and 7 years. Your hair’s growth cycle has three distinct phases:

• Anagen: This is the growth phase, during which your hair grows around half an inch each month. It will grow a little faster in the summer than in the winter. On average, the anagen phase lasts for a period of 3-5 years. So at full-growth length, your hair would be between 18 and 30 inches long.

• Catagen: Once the anagen phase is complete, the Catagen phase begins. This short, transitional phase lasts around 10 days. It affects only 1 percent of your total body hair at any one time. During this phase, your hair follicles shrink, making it easy for them to release hair during the next stage.

• Telogen: This is a resting phase, when hair is released and falls out, after which time the hair follicle remains inactive for a period of between 1 and 3 months. At any given time around 10-15 percent of the hairs on your head are in this stage. Once this stage is complete, the whole cycle starts over again.

Because each of your hair follicles functions independently, they go through the growth cycle at different times, so each individual strand of hair has its own growth cycle. This prevents all of your hair from falling out at the same time. Problems with hair thinning and hair loss can occur when your hair’s natural growth cycle is disrupted.

There are two main features of great looking hair: one is the thickness of hairs and the other is density, or how many hairs per given area. If your hair is thin and you are noticing patchy hair, you may need hair growth supplements to restore it. All-natural hair growth products like from DrFormulas HairOmega range can help restore thick hair and improve the health of your hair follicles.

Healthy hair is lustrous, bouncy and soft, has good elasticity and doesn’t break easily. Not only is it important to take care of your hair from the outside by using gentle shampoos and conditioners, you also need to make sure your body is getting the nutrients it needs to be able to make beautiful hair. The key to great looking hair is nutrition.

These two aspects – hair health and thickness – go hand-in-hand. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t make thin, brittle hair look shiny and strong if it’s thin and lank; you have to fix all the problems at the same time. That’s why you need a hair loss treatment that also contains nutrients and vitamins for hair growth. DrFormulas hair supplements, serum, shampoo and conditioner are specially formulated to stimulate hair growth, strengthen hair and leave it looking healthier than ever before.
