Did you know your hair grows in cycles? Knowing how this cycle works is a good step in addressing
hair loss and promoting healthy
hair growth.
Your hair grows in cycles
Your hair growth cycle has three main phases, and takes several years to complete. It is a normal part of your
hair growth cycle, to shed 50-100 scalp hairs every day. But what happens when you are losing more than normal?
Let’s take a closer look…
Nourish your hair
You naturally lose hair during the ‘resting phase’ (Telogen) . Problems occur and
Hair loss becomes visible when there are too many resting hair follicles. The longer they remain resting, the greater the chance of permanent hair loss. In many cases of alopecia (hair loss) up to 100% of the hair follicles are in this resting phase. Resting follicles are awaiting regeneration, which can occur by nourishing the follicles.
Regenerating resting hair follicles could be the answer
You can help to regenerate hair follicles in the resting phase and promote healthy
hair growth by replenishing your Kidney and Liver energy, and nourishing the Blood. According to Chinese medicine,
hair health depends on proper functioning of the Kidney and Liver organ-meridian systems.
The Chinese herbal extract Phytofol
®, is believed to work by regenerating hair follicles in the resting phase, activating the growth phase of the
hair growth cycle. This increases the number of normal, healthy hair follicles in the growing phase.
Chinese herbs can successfully restore hair growth, improving texture, colour and volume; and are suitable for all hair types and colours in men, women and children.
