The Hair Growth Cycle

The hair growth cycle consists of four distinct phases: anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. Let's break them down:

1. Anagen (Growth Phase): This is when the magic happens. During the anagen phase, which can last between 2-7 years, your hair actively grows from the root. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the hair follicle, fueling growth.

2. Catagen (Transition Phase): After the anagen phase, your hair enters the catagen phase, which lasts about 2-3 weeks. During this time, the hair follicle shrinks, and growth slows down.

3. Telogen (Resting Phase): In the telogen phase, your hair is essentially resting. This phase lasts approximately 3-4 months, after which the hair will shed, and a new anagen phase will begin.

4. Exogen (Shedding Phase): This is the final phase, where the hair detaches from the follicle and sheds, making way for a new strand to emerge.

Our hair growth tips

1. Scalp care: A healthy scalp is essential for optimal hair growth. Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips during shampooing to improve blood circulation and unclog hair follicles. Consider using the Hair We Gro Hair Oil, which contains invigorating essential oils like rosemary and peppermint, to stimulate the scalp and promote follicle health.

2. Gentle handling: Excessive pulling, tugging, and rough brushing can damage your hair and disrupt the growth cycle. Be gentle when detangling, brushing, and styling your hair to minimise breakage and shedding.

3. Balanced diet: A diet rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats provides the necessary nutrients for strong, healthy hair growth. Include foods like lentils, nuts, avocados, and leafy greens in your diet.

4. Stress management: Stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to excessive shedding. Practice stress-relieving activities like yoga, meditation, or exercise to maintain a balanced state of mind.

5. Protect from heat and sun damage: Excessive heat from styling tools and UV exposure can weaken and damage your hair, hampering growth. Use heat protectants such as our hair & body butters which have the key high thermal conductivity ingredient, shea butter to protect hair, and wear protective hairstyles or hats when spending extended periods in the sun.

6. Deep conditioning: Regular deep conditioning treatments can nourish and strengthen your hair from the inside out. The Hair We Gro Hair and Body Butters, with their rich blend of shea, cocoa, and mango butters, can provide intense moisture and conditioning to support healthy growth.

7. Trim regularly: Although it may seem counterintuitive, regular trims can remove split ends and prevent further breakage, allowing your hair to grow healthier and longer over time.

8. Be patient: Hair growth is a gradual process, and results may not be immediate. Stick to a consistent hair care routine using the Hair We Gro products, and trust that your hair will respond to the nourishment and care you provide.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to facilitating healthy hair growth cycles. By incorporating these tips and using the Hair We Gro products, you'll be providing your strands with the optimal environment to thrive and grow to their full potential.
