Most people, and especially good hairdressers and dieticians, know that poor nutrition can make your hair dull and lifeless, as well as affecting its growth. Thus it follows that a good diet can improve the quality of your hair.
An important point to remember is that the rate at which your hair can grow is finite and what is normal hair growth for one person can be different for another. However, on average, hair grows at a rate of about a centimetre a month. The trick to faster hair growth is to maximise your own hair growth
All this said, there are some things you can do to maximise your hair growth potential and encourage it to grow faster but first it helps if you first have an understanding of the hair growth cycle and how the hair actually grows.
Telogen Effluvium is where a large number of hairs are shed during the Telogen phase of the hair growth cycle leading to widespread thinning of the hair. This can happen at any time in someone’s life and can be triggered by physical or emotional stress or medication or hormonal influences.
Hair follicles rely on a number of nutrients to ensure healthy and vibrant growth and if those nutrients are missing then the result is dry, lank, reduced hair growth and possibly hair thinning and hair loss. Herbs can facilitate faster hair growth in basically two different ways.
Shampoos specially formulated to encourage faster hair growth will usually contain a combination of active ingredients that work together synergistically to improve the condition of the scalp and the hair and will help to remove a build up of DHT and sebum from the scalp to create the best environment for new hair to grow.
The organic extracts of some of the herbal formulations act at the level of the androgenic receptors of the scalp. These extracts contain substances which directly compete with DHT with its action. They act as a natural androgenic blocker by inhibiting the active binding of DHT to the hair follicle receptors.
Hair vitamins with MSM can be used to naturally lengthen your hair growth phase. Methylsolfonylmethane, or MSM, is a natural form of organic sulfonyl sulfur. This compound is present in many foods, especially most raw fruits and green vegetables. MSM provides sulfur that is required for healthy collagen and keratin.
You don’t just get bald and start losing hair because it’s something that runs in the family, there are reasons behind it. One of them can be linked to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
However this process can be reversed by rectifying the problem that we started with. A lack of the supply of vitamins, nutrients, and ions that are needed for healthy hair growth.
So apply a teaspoonful of olive oil to all thinning areas of the scalp. Leave on overnight and rinse out in the morning with a mild shampoo. Just a word of caution regarding the types of shampoo you use. Over 90% of all commercial shampoo contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate.
