SLOW GROWTH AND HAIR THINNING
Due to stress, poor nutrition, scalp issues, etc., the natural cycle is disrupted and hair follicles age prematurely: the growth phase becomes shorter and follicles enter dormancy more quickly
THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE HAIR IS MADE OF THREE PHASES:
ANAGEN
An active phase that involves the birth and growth of the hair (1-1.5 sm a month). Its duration varies from 3 to 7 years
CATAGEN
A short phase (2-3 weeks) in which the hair stops growing and follicles shrink in size to rest
TELOGEN
The phase lasts for 4-6 months. At this stage follicles get ready for new hair formation
HOW TO IDENTIFY THINNING HAIR?
HOW TO IDENTIFY SLOW HAIR GROWTH?
NORMS:
-
1-1.5 cm per month is considered normal hair growth
-
Less than 0.8 cm per month is considered slow growth
SIGNS:
-
Hair length does not change during 4-6 months
-
Very few new hairs (“baby hairs”) appear
-
Hair grows back very slowly after a haircut
WHAT IS THINNING HAIR?
-
Your ponytail or braid has become thinner – the volume has decreased by 20-30%
-
Hair has become soft and weak – it breaks easily, tangles, and doesn’t hold volume or style well
-
The ends are thin and split – even with regular trimming

REGULARITY
Thinning and slowed hair growth are caused by a shortened hair life cycle and reduced cell division activity directly in the hair bulb. To achieve fast results, a 3–4 months course of procedures is required to actively stimulate hair growth.
