What steps should you take to make your hair grow?
Hair Growth: Myth or Reality?
Having shiny and healthy hair is a shared dream! But between stress, fatigue and external aggressions, our hair often becomes dull, brittle and sometimes falls out in large quantities. Between preconceived ideas and grandmother's tips, how can you really take care of your hair? Can we really boost hair growth?
Understanding Hair Structure and Growth
Before looking for solutions, it is better to understand how our hair works. Fragile and exposed, it deserves special attention to stay healthy.
Hair structure: a concentrate of resilience
Hair, composed of more than 85% keratin, is a true biological feat. This protein gives it strength and resistance, capable of supporting up to 100 grams without breaking.
A hair is made up of three main parts:
- The bulb : Located under the skin, it is the engine of growth. Fed by blood vessels, it receives the necessary nutrients and oxygen.
- The root : Living part surrounded by the hair follicle.
- The stem : The visible part which is composed of the pith, the cortex and the cuticle.
The hair cycle: a story of phases
Hair growth is based on a three-stage cycle:
- Anagen (growth) phase : Lasts several months to years.
- Catagen (resting) phase : The hair stops growing.
- Telogen phase (hair loss): The hair falls out to make way for a new one.
On average, our hair grows one centimeter per month. But its growth also depends on blood circulation in the scalp.
Factors that influence hair health and growth
Hormones, conductors of the hair cycle
There are two main hormones that influence the life of our hair:
- Estrogens : Promotes growth.
- Androgens : Speed up the cycle and can cause premature hair loss.
In women, key periods such as menstruation, pregnancy or menopause have a strong impact on hair. After childbirth, for example, significant hair loss is often linked to a drop in estrogen.
Hair Types: Different Needs
Each type of hair has its specificities:
- Smooth : Tends to be oily, avoid weighting products.
- Curly or frizzy : Needs hydration for defined curls.
- Wavy : Regular hydration to preserve their “wavy” effect.
- Frizzy : Very fragile, they require moisturizing and nourishing care.
Taking care of your hair every day
Adapt your routine according to porosity
Porosity determines the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture:
- Weak : The scales are tight, favor light care.
- Average : Balanced, moisturize regularly.
- Strong : The scales are open, use nourishing products.
The essentials for healthy hair
- Washing products : Choose gentle, natural shampoos.
- Vegetable oils : Rich in ceramides, they seal in moisture and strengthen the hair.
- Brushing : Stimulates the scalp and removes impurities.
Food and food supplements
A balanced diet is crucial for strong and shiny hair. Food supplements, rich in nutrients such as keratin and vitamins, are the ideal complement to a suitable hair care routine.
