The true of the false to promote hair growth - part 2

You appreciated the first part of our true or false article on hair growth. We come back with The second part of the article in order to unravel prejudices.

Brewer yeast is very effective for hair growth but it can cause bloating.

TRUE: First of all, it is important to understand what is Brewer yeast. Brewer yeast is A living matter composed of non-spathogenic microscopic fungi. It can be active (unheated), it then remains alive and is considered to be a probiotic very useful for regenerating The intestinal flora. Inactive (heated to more than 40 °), it is no longer alive, but it retains its very great nutritional wealth. 

Brewer yeast is particularly Rich in vitamins and trace elements. It promotes hair growth However if it is active, brewer's yeast can cause bloating due to the fermentation of this fungus.

What the brewer's yeast contains:

• Vitamins of group B (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9).
• Proteins, including 8 essential amino acids.
• Minerals (calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur) and trace elements such as selenium.
• Polysaccharides.

Inactive brewer's yeast keeps antioxidant properties thanks to the vitamins and trace elements it contains, such as vitamin B2, copper or THE selenium. Its richness in vitamins B2, B3, B8 and selenium therefore makes it particularly indicated for:

• Restore strength and density to the hair,
• Protect hair from external aggressions (UV, pollution, etc.).
• Strengthen nails, repair brittle nails or duplicate.
• Improve skin condition.

The seasons influence the hair growth.

FAKE: The seasons have an impact on hair growth. It’s not the season itself, but rather the warmth of the sun.

Indeed, the production of steroid hormones is dependent on sun exposure. This hormone promotes hair growth by stimulating blood circulation, but be careful not to abuse it at the risk of attacking the hair.

Thus, we observe a hair loss in August, September and spring. While in the spring and fall, the hair tends to fall.

There are different hereditary factors that have a role to play in hair growth.

TRUE: First, the color of your hair and their guys are hereditary, parents transmit it to children. The number of spilled cycles and the duration of the phases of this cycle also constitute genetic factors. Each hair follicle will undergo an average of twenty cycles until its exhaustion. It has also been proven after many studies that baldness is linked to the chromosome X gene in men, it is therefore a hair loss on which one cannot act. 

Androgenetic alopecia that also affects women is unfortunately hereditary and therefore genetic. It results in the gradual substitution of terminal hairs by miniature hairs, with decrease in the number of hair following the influence of male hormones. It is essentially due to hyperactivity of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme which converts the testosterone to dihydrotestosterone to the level of the hair of the hair. The latter accelerating the renewal of hair follicles. We thus observe a decrease in the diameter of the hair, an refinement, then a disappearance of the follicle. 

Finally, hormones also have a role to play. Estrogens and thyroid hormones promote the growth of the hair follicle. Male hormones, Androgens, promote the miniaturization and the fall of the hair. Thus, during pregnancy, high estrogen levels will slow down the anagène phase and thus promote abundant hair. Conversely, after childbirth, the decrease in the level of estrogen in the blood will be the cause of a fall of hair.

Afro hair grows slower than Caucasian or Asian hair.

TRUE: Ethnicity has a big role to play as to the speed of growth of your hair. There are three main ethno-capillary categories: Africian, Caucasian, Asian. Each of them has its own characteristics: color, texture, structure or even implantation in the scalp, etc ... Due to their differences, they cannot push at the same speed.

• Asian hair

Asian hair, generally smooth, grows perpendicular to the scalp. It records the highest growth speed with an average of 1.4 centimeter per month. An Asian hair has a Rather round and uniform shape. Nevertheless, the density of Asian hair is the weakest of 3 ethnic groups.

• African hair

The African hair - called Afro hair - is generally curly or frizzy, and grows almost parallel to the scalp. It records the slowest growth be 0.9 centimeter per month because of its spiral structure which makes him twist on himself by pushing. Afro hair has a flattened shape. The density of this type of hair is slightly higher than Asian hair

• Caucasian hair

The Caucasian hair may be theIsse, wavy, curly. He pushes, and grows approximately 1.2 centimeter per month. A Caucasian hair presents An oval shape. The density of Caucasian hair is the strongest of the three ethnic groups, so they are the most supplied.

Hair can stop growing.

FAKE: Rest assured, out of alopecia and baldness, the hair does not stop growing, it is more an impression than a biological reality. 

On the other hand, it is true that all our hair does not grow at the same speed: while about 80 % of the hair we have pushed, the remaining 20 % is in a latency phase for a part, and in a phase falling for the other. 

Also, these phases of growth and regeneration differ from one person to another according to the genetics of each. The phase that corresponds to the growth of the hair (therefore around 80 % of the hair) can last from 1 year to 6 years depending on the person. Moreover, this phase is generally much longer for women than for men because of our hormones.
