Faster Hair Growth Shampoo

Faster Hair Growth Shampoo
Finding the right shampoo for you can be a time consuming
process at the best of times, particularly as there are a
plethora of hair care products on the market catering for
all sorts of different hair types including shampoo and
conditioner for fine hair, thick hair, greasy hair, normal
hair, dry hair, damaged and bleached hair and even for
different hair colours. So what about faster hair growth
shampoo?

If you are concerned about hair loss or thinning hair and
want to encourage your hair to grow faster, there are also
many shampoos and conditioners out there that claim to
promote faster hair growth and minimise hair loss so what's
the difference between them an other shampoos?

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. In order to
understand how faster hair growth shampoo can help; it
might be worth explaining how the hair grows.

The Hair Growth Cycle
Hair grows in cycles and not all the hair on your head will
be growing at the same time. Generally speaking, around
90% of the hair on your head is actively growing or in the
growth phase (Anagen) at any one time and an average growth
rate amounts to more or less around a centimetre a month.
The rest of your hair is in the Telogen stage or resting
phase and it is normal during this phase for hair to fall
out, sometimes as many as 100 hairs a day. The growth phase
can last anything from 2 to 6 years and the resting phase
usually lasts a few months.

There are many factors that will influence the length of
your growth phase and how fast your hair will be able to
grow and how easy it is for your hair to fall out during
the Telogen phase and these include your diet, medication,
your general health, and even stress, but one of the most
significant factors that will influence whether or not you
are likely to experience the typical male pattern baldness
or widespread thinning of the hair is genetics.

The main cause of typical male pattern baldness in men and
widespread thinning of the hair in women is linked to
androgens (hormones) and is known as androgenetic alopecia.
Your genes will dictate how sensitive you are to the
effects of the male hormone DHT or dihydrotestosterone.
High levels of DHT shorten the growth phase of the hair and
over time shrink the hair follicle so that the hair thins
out and eventually, no new hair is able to grow.

This pattern is different in men and women. Men's hair will
recede along the hairline and hair loss will be apparent on
the top of the head whereas in female pattern alopecia, the
hair tends to thin out over the top of the head and is
usually not as severe as male pattern alopecia.

Regardless of whether you are male or female, the trick to
minimising hair loss and encouraging faster hair growth is
to do everything possible to ensure that the growth phase
of the hair is extended and at the same time reduce the
risk of an excess of hair falling out during the resting
phase.

Shampoos that facilitate faster hair growth will often
contain ingredients that can help to reduce the amount of
DHT on the scalp and at the same time will nourish the
scalp and hair follicle giving the hair a better
opportunity to thrive. However, instead of relying on
shampoo alone, there are other tips that can help promote
faster hair growth.

Tips for faster hair growth

• Reduce the levels of DHT on the scalp by using an
appropriate shampoo and conditioner designed specifically
to do that

• Eat a healthy and balanced diet containing adequate
amounts of vitamins and amino acids so that your body has
all the nutrients it needs to feed the hair follicle

• Ensure that the circulation of blood to the scalp is good
so that the follicle is able to receive all the nutrients
it needs to produce healthy hair – massage whilst
shampooing is an excellent way of doing this

• Reduce stress levels

• Avoid anything that damages the hair and the hair
follicle, for example, heated appliances, harsh brushing,
tight ponytails, and shampoos containing harsh chemicals

Frequent washing with an unsuitable shampoo, particularly a
soap based shampoo, will strip your hair of its natural
oils and will give your hair a dull and lifeless look. The
ideal faster hair growth shampoo is one that will clean
your hair and leave it looking shiny, feeling silky and
most importantly, one that will not damage your hair or
irritate your scalp. As each and every one of us is
different, it is worth shopping around until you find a
shampoo that you are happy with, one that works for you.
