How does hair grow?

The normal growth cycle of a single hair strand can last anywhere from two to six years. When hair is healthy and growing at a steady rate, it grows about a half-inch per month. The growth cycle of hair consists of four phases:

• Anagen Phase is the growth phase, which lasts three to five years and concerns 90% of hair.
• Catagen Phase is an approximately three-week regression phase in which hair growth stops.
• Telogen Phase is the three to five-month rest phase in the hair growth cycle
• FALL: Fall occurs at the end of the telogen phase when the hair falls out because it is pushed by the next hair produced by the hair follicle. 

This is why it's common to lose some hairs on a daily basis during washing or styling; the normal amount is 50-100 hairs per day. However when you have premature or excessive hair loss, a solution is required to get thicker, fuller hair and prevent further systems.

WHY AM I LOSING HAIR?

The common hair loss occurs in both men and women because...

• Build Up Over Time: Overtime, collagen accumulates around the hair bulb and hardens resulting in suffocation that prevents the root from taking a firm, deep hold in the scalp. Compression at the hair bulb also prevents the flow of oxygen and nutrients carried by microciculation from reaching the follicle.
   
• Hormone Changes: DHT (dihydroxytestosterone) is a toxin that blocks receptor sites in the hair follicate that normally attracts nutrients.  Over time or due to other life changing events, you may see enzymatic conversion of testosterone to DHT.
