Is thick and long hair a dream? 5 main scientific reasons behind rapid hair growth

There are few people who do not want to stop hair loss and grow beautiful hair quickly. But as many people think, hair does not grow quickly just by applying expensive shampoo or oil externally. Hair grows rapidly when the hair follicles, which resemble fingers on our scalp, receive proper nutrition and blood flow from within. Scientifically, the growth phase of hair is called the Anagen Phase. Here are 5 main scientific reasons that influence rapid hair growth:

 

Good blood circulation in hair follicles: The micro blood vessels in the scalp deliver oxygen and necessary nutrients to the hair roots. When there is good blood flow in the scalp, the hair follicles are stimulated and the cell division of the hair increases. This will extend the Anagen phase of the hair and cause the hair to grow faster.

Keratin Production and Protein (Keratin Synthesis): 85-90 percent of our hair is made up of a type of hard protein called Keratin. If the food we eat contains enough amino acids and protein, the body will produce keratin in large quantities. This scientific process is what helps in providing good thickness and strength to the hair strands and helps in increasing their length quickly.

Biotin and Availability of Vitamins (Biotin & Micronutrients): Vitamin B7 or Biotin is one of the most essential for hair growth. It helps in the growth of cells and the production of fatty acids. Also, when there is the right amount of Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Zinc and Iron in the body, the health of the hair follicles increases and hair loss is completely reversed and new hair grows quickly.

Hormonal Balance: Hormones in the body directly affect hair growth. The presence of thyroid hormones and estrogen in the right amount will give good shine and growth to the hair. The reduced level of the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) found in both men and women helps the hair follicles to not shrink and the hair to grow in large quantities.

 

Low Stress & Sleep: When there is severe mental stress, the body releases the hormone cortisol, which can push the hair into the Telogen Effluvium phase. However, the hormone melatonin, which is produced even in a stress-free state and when you get proper sleep, protects the hair roots and stimulates hair to grow quickly.
