Healthy hair growth and hair loss, tips and tricks.

Hair growth cycle

An average person with healthy hair growth has one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand hairs on his or her head. Per month, these hairs grow about an inch in length. The growth cycle of such a hair consists of three phases and lasts for about three years. There is the so-called anagen phase (the growth phase), the catogenic phase (transitional phase) and the telogen phase (resting phase). Fortunately, not all hairs enter the same phase at the same time, otherwise everyone would be temporarily completely bald until the cycle begins again.

With healthy hair growth, these cycles occur without you noticing and you won't notice the occasional hair falling out. But what if you do suffer from hair loss?

Tips against hair loss and for healthy hair growth

Hair loss is often a matter of hereditary hair loss. This is independent of healthy hair growth and can therefore even occur if you take care of your hair up and down. However, hair loss due to poor care can be prevented with our tips!

1. Try not to damage the scalp. Watch blow-drying, combing and other activities that can damage the scalp.
2. Ensure a varied diet that includes all nutrients. Also make sure to drink enough water to keep your body hydrated.
3. Exercise is good for your health. It is good for circulation, is good against stress and for the general health of your body. And in the process, so is your hair.
4. Watch out for tight rubber bands. Rubber bands used for making a braid or bun, for example, can cause pressure on the hair roots. This may even cause the hair roots to fall out.
5. Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are bad for the entire body and especially for hair. So be aware of the effects of smoking and alcohol.
6. Take good care of your hair. The above points are obviously related to this, but in addition, it is also important to use the right care products for your type of hair.
