You love your hair and take care for it everyday. But do you really understand how it work? Vietnam Remy Hair Blog today will show you a new perspective of hair growth, under the eye of science. And after that you will know when you need to take care it more than normal to get beautiful hair.
Normally, hair grows about 0.3 to 0.4 mm/day or 6 inches per year. Growth speed of human hair is random, not depend on season or cycle as other mammals. But it still has three stages from growth to shedding.
Hair Growth Cycle
1. Anagen
This is the stage that hair grow fastest. All cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the hair that has stopped growing up to the follicle and eventually out. During this time, hair will grow about 1cm every month. And scalp hair stays in this phase for two to six years.
That explains some people can’t grow their hair long because of this short active phase of growth. On the other hand, people who can have long hair actually have long active phase of growth.
Thinking about it you can also understand why hair on arms, legs, eyebrows are shorter than hair on the head. Because they have a very short active growth phase, it happens about 30 to 45 days.
2. Catagen
The catagen stage is a transitional time. At any time, there is always 3% of all hairs in this phase. This phase lasts for about two to three weeks. Growth stops and the outer root shrink. This hair will be pushed out when a new hair in stage one be formed.
3. Telogen
This stage happens to 6% – 8% of all hair. This phase lasts for about 100 days for hairs on the head and longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm, and leg. During this phase, the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. It will be difficult for pulling out a hair in this phase. About 25 to 100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day.
It is really easy to understand this hair growth process, right? Not difficult as biology lesson you learn from high school but it is really useful.
