FAQ
Below are frequent questions our customers have asked previously.
How does the hair growth cycle work?
We have three stages in the hair growth cycle which are called anagen, catagen and telogen.
The anagen phase is the period where hair growth can be seen. About 90% of our hair is currently in this phase which usually lasts between 2-7 years, depending on genetic factors.
The catagen phase only lasts around 2-3 weeks. It is a transitional phase in which hair stops growing and detaches itself from the blood supply (club hair).
The telogen phase is the resting period where the club hair rests in the root while new hair begins to grow beneath it. After around three months the resting club hair falls out to allow the new hair to come through the hair follicle. This is a natural process that more often than not, goes completely unnoticed.
Although medical and genetic factors are ultimately paramount, by incorporating a routine to try and keep the hair strands in the anagen phase as long as possible, you could keep a healthy head of hair for a longer period. Using Hairpride Oil as part of your hair maintenance will help with this when it is massaged it into your scalp regularly.
