For improved hair growth, it's important to understand the hair life cycle.

Hair has a specific yet complicated organization. We may not be aware of it, but hair is an organ in its own right, with an aesthetic role to play, as well as a protective role for the skull and thermoregulation for healthy hair growth.

Our hair follows a very precise rhythm, a veritable life cycle made up of three phases. The anagen phase is the growth phase, when the hair grows from the hair bulb. This is the longest phase, with almost 90% of our hair in the anagen phase. The transition to the catagen phase marks the cessation of growth and lasts a few weeks. Then, in the final telogen phase, the hair gradually detaches from the follicle and falls out. Our lifestyles, pollution, stress and hormonal changes disrupt our hair cycles, and an abnormally large number of hairs end up in the telogen phase. It's this phenomenon that leads to excessive hair loss.

The hair follicle and the hair cycle: how does it work?

The hair follicle is an independent part of the skin of the skull. It takes the form of either down or hair, depending on a number of parameters, including age and hormone levels.
On average, an adult head of hair contains around 120,000 hairs, which are in a constant state of renewal, alternating between different rhythms, phases of growth, involution, rest and finally loss. On average, 50 to 100 hairs fall out naturally every day.
Not all hairs grow at the same time or in synchrony, but in cycles or periods (15 to 20 in a lifetime) punctuated by several stages of varying duration.

There are three successive phases in hair growth:

The ANAGEN phase: this is the growth phase.
Hair grows at an average rate of 1cm per month, depending on the season: in fact, hair grows faster in summer than in winter. Generally speaking, 85 to 90% of follicles are in this phase at any given time. This phase lasts from 2 to 6 years. This intense production phase requires growth factors, nutritional supplements (iron, proteins, zinc, vitamins) and hormones (estrogens and thyroid hormones in particular).
The CATAGENE phase: this is the phase of involution and degradation.
The hair stops growing, but does not yet fall out. Statistically, 2% of follicles are in this phase at any given time. This phase lasts around 3 weeks.
The TELOGEN phase: this is the resting phase.
The hair has died and will be replaced by a new hair, which in due course will cause its predecessor to fall out. Around 10% of follicles are in this phase at any given time. This phase lasts around 2 to 6 months.

Our lifestyles mistreat and tire our hair. In a normal cycle, it grows, stabilizes and falls out. However, it can undergo changes in its life cycle as a result of the many aggressions to which we subject it. Shampoos, dyes and straightening gradually chip away at our hair's keratin. What's more, pregnancy or hereditary factors can contribute to hair loss or slow hair growth.

What's the best trick for hair growth?

Here's a little tip to help accelerate hair growth:

Massaging the scalp stimulates blood circulation, bringing more nutrients to the roots and optimizing individual hair growth. What's more, scalp massage promotes well-being. Two techniques in particular will help you grow your hair. The first is to apply gentle pressure to the entire scalp with your ten fingers, but never to the point of pain. A massage is meant to be pleasant and relaxing. The second technique involves tapping: gently tap the scalp with your fingertips, but fairly quickly.
