Understanding the Phases of Hair Growth | New Year, New Growth: The Science of Hair Cycles

 

The Four Phases of Hair Growth

As we step into 2025, let’s talk about something that’s constantly renewing: your hair! Understanding the four phases of hair growth can help you unlock healthier, longer hair. Let’s dive into how these phases mirror nature’s rhythm and how you can care for your hair every step of the way.

The anagen phase is your hair’s active growth cycle, lasting 2-8 years. It’s the most vital phase for building length and strength. Think of it as spring for your hair, when everything is thriving and blooming.

• Pro Tips: Feed your scalp with nutrient-rich oils like rosemary or black castor oil. Protect your strands by limiting heat exposure.

        During this short 2-4 week phase, your hair growth slows, and follicles prepare for rest. It’s like summer for your hair—a time to reflect on its growth while maintaining health.

• Pro Tips: 

  Avoid stressors like tight hairstyles. Regular trims will keep split ends at bay.

 

 

      

Shedding: Just as trees shed their leaves in fall, hair sheds minimally while follicles rest.

Preservation: Energy is focused on maintaining rather than growing.

 

Care Focus: Nourish and hydrate your scalp, like replenishing the soil to prepare for the next growth cycle.

 

                                     

Shedding is natural during this phase. Hair makes way for new growth, similar to how winter clears the landscape for spring’s bloom.
Pro Tips:
Don’t panic! Losing 50-100 hairs daily is normal.
Use scalp massages to stimulate the next growth cycle.
