Recognize The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair lossHair loss is normal thing because the hair has its own life cycle. You need to be cautious if the loss happens in a long time, with the amount of loss more than 100 sheets per day. A sheet of hair can grow last 3-5 years on a healthy scalp. At one scalp pores, averagely will occur a regeneration of hair growth up to 20 times. The hair would grow and become longer approximately 12 mm within a month. If you are not cutting your hair, the hair will continue to grow to 107 cm long, before falling out and experiencing a new growth at the same pores.

In ‘its life’, each hair shaft will pass through 3 stages of growth. First, the anagen phase, where hair is actively growing and become longer. This phase lasted for about 3-5 years. The second phase is katagen. On phase that lasted between 3-4 weeks, the growth of hair cells gradually begin to slow down before it stops. The third phase is called the telogen phase. Hair follicles are shrinking and move off to the surface of the scalp. This process lasted for 3-4 months.

After going through these three phases, the new hair will grow back to replace what had fallen out. The hair growth would slow down along with our age. To maintain a healthy hair growth, massage your scalp regularly, every time you wash your hair. This light massage can stimulate the flows of nutrients, oxygen, and blood to the hair follicles.
