Long hair in an instant: the right treatment
Long, healthy hair has always been a priority for women. But this can be a lengthy process, given that the hair grows only about an inch a month. Our tips will help you get the most out of your hair and accelerate the growth process.
Hair growth: fascinating facts
Hair is essentially made up of keratin, as are the nails of the hands and feet.
There are about 200 hairs per square centimeter on our scalp. The thickness of the hair is genetic and varies between 0.04 and 0.12 millimeters.
Hair growth happens in different cycles:
- Initially there is a growth phase, from two to six years, where new roots emerge and the hair grows constantly.
- About 90% of your hair is in this phase.
- Then, there is a transition phase, of two to three weeks, in which the hair stops growing.
- In the next phase, the hair remains on the scalp for another nine months until it is replaced with a new one, which is regenerated from what remains of the old hair.
Hair growth is a constant cycle, influenced by several factors: stress, psychological tension and hormonal changes have a negative effect on growth.
But don't worry : with the right food and proper care, you can help in this growth process and look forward to your long hair.
There is no scientific evidence that hair grows faster if it is cut during certain specific phases of the moon. However, many women follow the lunar calendar. After all, the moon not only influences the tides but is also said to have positive effects on the body at certain stages.
Tip: How to make hair grow faster
Basically, you should comb and brush your hair carefully. The less hair you lose per day, the better.
A tip : if you want to braid your hair, don't use cheap rubber bands. These can damage and break the structure of your hair. Choose spiral rubber bands, with the same shape as the wires of old phones, and wrap them gently around the braid. They are very practical and leave no marks on the hair. Changing is good! If you wear different hairstyles every day, your hair will not be damaged or conditioned in the same place all the time.
After doing a more elaborate hairstyle, it may be better to let your hair rest. Make a good hair mask and use a little coconut oil on the ends. You will see that it will bring back the necessary hydration and a magnificent shine.
And, of course, don't forget to always use a product suitable for your hair needs. It is best to use a Shampoo and Conditioner from the same range to achieve the desired curls, a non-greasy hair or shiny dyed hair.
