Hair growth is influenced by many factors, but mostly by nutrition and hormones. Poor nutrition means hair will grow poorly. Growth in hair varies for different people, but it averages 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) per month. The life span of hair varies and under the control of proteins.
Growth occurs in cycles. Each complete cycle has 3 phases that are repeated over and over again throughout your life.
2nd Phase: Catagen is the "transitional phase" is the end of the growth phase. Catagen phase is very short and lasts from 1-2 weeks. 3rd Phase: Telogen is the "resting" or final phase where hair is either shed or remains in place until the next anagen phase. When the new hair grows in it pushes the old hair out. The phase last about 2-6 months and only about 10 percent of scalp hair participates at one time. After the resting phase the growing phase starts again. On average, the entire growth cycle repeats itself once every 4-5 years. Key To Healthy Hair*To start your hair off to a healthy start, you must trim your hair every 4-6 weeks. There is absolutely no way to repair damaged hair so you need to cut your loses by trimming the ends. Damaged hair will only get worst as time passes. Once the ends of your hair split "split ends", the damage will move up your hair shaft until the entire strand is split.*Avoid using hot appliances whenever possible. If you must blow dry your hair, allow the hair to air dry first. After the hair is almost dry, then blow dry minimally. If you use flat irons, use ceramic iron because they are healthier for the hair. Make sure to use a good thermal protector to protect the hair. DO NOT use hot styling utensils on a daily basic because this will burn your hair out of your head literally. *Do not use any harsh chemicals on the hair. There are many colors on the market that don't use peroxide, like CHI Ionic hair color. *Make sure to deep condition your hair on a regular basis. Make sure to rinse the conditioner out with cold water. Rinsing with cold water is make the cuticle lay flat and less likely to break. Cold water rinses also adds shine and makes hair easy to detangle. *A deep soothing scalp massage is very beneficial to your hair because it stimulates the scalp. The stimulation from the massage will cause blood to flow to your scalp.
