Understand Your Hair Growth and Its Phases Better

Helena Olsson

The hair on our head goes through a natural life cycle consisting of three different phases. Not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time, which is why we constantly shed some while new ones grow.

Understanding these phases can help you take better care of your hair and feel more confident about what’s normal. 

Three phases of hair growth cycle

The three phases of the Hair growth Cycle.


Normal Hair Shedding - How Much Is Normal?

It’s completely normal to lose 50–150 hairs per day. Losing more than that over a longer period may be linked to stress, hormonal changes, diet, or illness. Shedding also increases during hair washing or brushing, which is perfectly normal. Using our Hair Growth Kit during washing can help reduce hair loss and support stronger, healthier hair.


What Affects Hair Growth and Hair Loss?

- Genetics
Determines both the maximum length your hair can grow and its thickness.

- Hormones
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, and hormonal imbalances can all affect hair loss.

- Stress
Both physical and mental stress can push more hairs into the resting phase at once.

- Nutrition
Deficiencies in nutrients like biotin, zinc, iron, and protein can negatively affect growth. Get the essential nutrition you need with our Skin and Hero supplement.

- Hair Care
Excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, or harsh products can weaken hair. Instead, opt for gentle, natural-ingredient products like our Hair Treatment Kit to support stronger, healthier hair.


Can You Make Hair Grow Faster?

While the speed of hair growth is largely determined by genetics, you can create the best conditions for healthy growth by caring for your scalp, eating nutrient-rich foods, and avoiding stressors that impact hair and scalp health. Our Hair Growth Serum has helped many reduce shedding and support the growth of new baby hairs.

Tips for Supporting Hair Growth

- Massage your scalp regularly to boost circulation.

- Use gentle products free from silicones, sulfates, and parabens.

- Keep your scalp clean and hydrated – a healthy scalp gives your hair the best growth conditions.

- Eat a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

- Consider supplements such as biotin, bamboo extract, or zinc to support your hair from within. Our Skin and Hero supplement gives you the nutrition you need.



Taking care of your hair doesn’t have to be complicated. By understanding your hair’s natural growth cycle and giving it the right conditions, you can support stronger, healthier, and fuller-looking hair.

Remember - shedding is normal, growth takes time, and consistency is key. Your hair is on its own unique journey, and with the right care, it will thrive.
