How hair grows
There are around 5 million hair follicles on the human body. About 100,000 of the hair follicles are found on the scalp. Each hair strand on the scalp follows a pattern of hair growth. They come in three stages:
- Anagen: Anagen is the first phase where the new hair grows in the hair bulb - Catagen: The catagen phase marked by a period of inactivity and regression. - Telogen: The telogen phase which is also called the resting phase, the hair follicle will go completely rest and the club hair is completely formed.
During the first phase, the average scalp has 90 percent of the hair follicles and 1 percent in the catagen phase and the balance 9 percent during the telogen phase.
This process goes the same for body and facial hair. The only difference is, it doesn't include the three-stage cycle which is shorter. This is why body hair doesn’t grow as long as the hair on our scalp.
Use less shampoo
It doesn't matter how expensive or natural organic shampoo you use. If you shampoo your hair everyday, you can damage your own hair. If you want to have healthy hair growth, consider only shampooing your hair twice a week.
Shampooing your hair every single day will only strip the natural oils that your scalp produces and weaken your hair. This can cause split ends. This will travel up your hair shaft and cause hair damage.
So to avoid this and have a healthy hair growth, limit your shampoo routine from once to twice a week. It is also recommended to use a leave-in conditioner for men. This is because this leave-in conditioner helps by preventing split ends, and breakage which are all things that can lead to slow hair growth.
Be Gentle With Your Hair
This may sound so common but it is vital to be not too rough with your hair. Being so rough with your hair can lead to excessive hair fall which is the opposite to healthy hair.
It's important to have a scalp massage and stimulate it but if you aren't gentle with it, it can damage you. This can be a bummer for your healthy hair growth journey.
Have Healthy Diet
Eating healthy food and collecting needed nutrition to our body is extremely important if you want to grow hair. So you need to start working on your diet. There are many foods that can boost your hair growth. To have strong healthy hair, try eating foods like biotin-rich foods such as eggs, meat, or nuts. You can also consider eating foods including fatty fish and foods fortified in vitamin D.
There are few foods that include vitamins and minerals which are associated with healthy hair. Following foods can be include in your food for a hair healthy:
- foods that are high in iron, including certain beans, green leafy vegetables, iron-fortified cereals, lean beef, and eggs - protein-rich foods such as lean meat, eggs, and fish
Keep in mind that a healthy diet must have various fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and unsaturated fats. Also limit or avoid taking sugary foods and drinks as they consist of lots of calorie foods that add little nutritional value to your diet. So consider eating a well balanced diet that provides your body with all the hair-boosting vitamins it needs to grow out your hair, such as biotin, folic acid and vitamins A, C, D and E.
Get Enough Sleep
Sleep can affect your hair growth cycle. This is because a good sleep helps your body release enzymes and growth hormones which is one of the most important elements in your hair health.
Getting enough sleep also helps to get you enough protein synthesis, directly affecting your body’s ability which helps your hair growth. As an adult, you should aim to have seven to nine hours of sleep per day. When you are sleeping the growth hormones helps speed up cell reproduction which contributes for a healthy rate of hair growth.

Focus on taking steps to reduce your stress in a proactive way. You can do journaling, workout, sleep well and eat well can be some of the examples that you can take to reduce stress and bring it under control.
Be gentle on your hair

So try to avoid the following actions:
- doing tight hairstyles like braids, ponytails, or cornrows - often perm and use hair straightening chemicals - regularly using hot straightening or curling irons - bleaching your hair often
