How Does Hair Grow?
Our hair grows and falls out in line with our hair growth cycle which is made up of three parts; Anagen, Catagen and Telogen.
- The Anagen Phase is the first step in the cycle. This is when the hair is growing, hence it being referred to as The Growth Phase. The hair then moves into…
- The Catagen Phase. This is also known as the Transitional Phase as it is when the hair has been disconnected from the blood supply and stops growing. Approximately 3% of all hairs are in this stage at any time for an average of 10 days before moving into…
- The Telogen Phase, which is also referred to as the resting phase is when the strands stay in their follicles and eventually detach, making way for new growth when the cycle begins again.
Nutritional Healthy Hair Tips
Biotin - Found in many foods including eggs, salmon, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and of course, our delicious UKHAIR Hair Vitamins. Biotin helps the production of Keratin; a protein that makes up around 80-85% of our hair follicles, and in turn helps to strengthen our help and help our hair grow!
Vitamin A - Found in orange and red vegetables such as carrots and peppers and in meats such as pork, chicken and beef, as well as in our nutritious UKHAIR Hair Vitamins. It’s an important vitamin for bodily functions as it helps cells grow, which can be great for your immune system and accelerating hair growth!
Vitamin C - This vitamin is known for promoting the production of collagen; a protein that plays an important role in the makeup of your hair. It’s commonly found in citrus fruits and berries, and is included in the powerful recipe of our UKHAIR Hair Vitamins!
Vitamin D - Studies have shown that maintaining a basic level of Vitamin D in our bodies plays an important role in the Growth Phase of the hair cycle, making it an important factor to consider when looking to boost hair growth! Take it in through sun exposure or foods such as milk, soy and salmon.
Iron - Iron helps to circulate oxygen in your bloodstream and, in turn, stimulates cell growth in your body, including in your hair cells and scalp, helping hair grow. Therefore, it’s important to get a rich source of iron into your diet through foods like legumes, spinach, red meat and tofu.
Your Hair Care Routine For Growth: Introducing The UKHAIR Grow Stronger Collection
The Grow Stronger System is specially designed to be mix and matched depending on your specific hair goals. However, if you're looking to take a holistic approach to hair care and hair growth, we’re here to help with our complete collection.
1. Take your vitamins - If you’re looking for the best vitamins for hair growth and strength look no further than our UKHAIR Hair Vitamins! They’re specially formulated to include Biotin, Vitamin C+E and a string of antioxidants to boost the elasticity and strength of your hair, helping it grow longer, stronger and healthier.
2. Perfect your scalp health - Creating the perfect environment for growth starts at the scalp. Product build up and excessive sebum, aka sweat, can block the pores on your scalp and get in the way of healthy hair growth! Our UKHAIR Shampoo is clinically proven to cleanse, clarify and stimulate the scalp to pave the way for optimum strength and hair growth.
3. Nurture your ends - Keeping the lengths of your locks strong and healthy is key to maintaining long and healthy hair. Our UKHAIR Conditioner delivers a lightweight, clinically proven formula which works to nourish and hydrate whilst promoting healthy hair growth.
4. Get bond-building! - Our UKHAIR Repair Mask offers a deep conditioning treatment that uses bond-building technology to strengthen and restore the Keratin bonds in the hair follicle, resulting in stronger, long and healthier looking hair.
5. Supercharge with serum - If you experience hair loss or are looking to boost volume in your hair, our UKHAIR Hair Growth Serum may be just what you need. Its lightweight and non-greasy formula is packed with scientifically proven active ingredients that work harder than ever before to repair, protect and promote healthy hair growth. AnaGain™(Pea Sprout Extract) is combined with Phytic Acid and Turmeric to revitalise and stimulate hair growth at the scalp, whilst the addition of Lemon Fruit Water conditions and protects the hair follicle, preventing breakage and in turn reducing hair loss, resulting in a longer, healthier and stronger hair.
Top Tips for Growing Longer, Stronger & Healthier Hair
- Go natural when drying your locks! - We all know that excessive heat can cause long term hair damage and breakage. When drying your hair, try to let it air dry where possible, and if you’re in a hurry, use your hair dryer on its lowest heat setting - anything over 200 degrees celsius/392 fahrenheit can cause bubbles in the hair shaft, weakening your hair and leading to long term damage and breakage.
- Trade in the tools! - As previously mentioned, excessive heat can cause damage to your hair, so if you’re wondering how to stop hair breakage and grow thicker hair, we suggest avoiding any hot tools such as hair curlers or straighteners. Why not opt for heatless styles such as using overnight rollers or heatless curling sets instead? These can create a beautiful hairstyle whilst avoiding causing any damage to your hair. Or, if you do have a special event where you feel a hot tool is needed to provide a certain style, make sure to use heat protection for hair to create a barrier to the hair follicle, giving your hair the best chance to avoid breakage and fall out.
- Indulge in a scalp massage - Although a scalp massage may just seem like a leisurely activity, it actually helps to improve circulation and in turn stimulate hair cells and follicles, preventing breakage and encouraging hair growth. Studies have shown that conducting a four-minute scalp massage daily for five months will result in thicker hair - see our recommended routine below:
1. For added nourishment, first apply 2-5 drops of our Hair Growth Serum.2. Apply light to medium pressure on your scalp with your fingertips or massage tool.
3. Move around the scalp in small circular motions, making sure you reach all areas. If using our Hair Growth Serum, make sure it’s fully dry before following up with our Shampoo and Conditioner.
- Get your super natural beauty sleep - Making sure you get a good nights sleep is key to keeping your hormones in check and in turn, helping your hair to stay strong and healthy. To further prevent hair breakage, why not try using a silk pillowcase that can reduce friction, frizziness and hair breakage.
No one knows your hair better than you, so it’s important to get to know your hair and learn how you can help it grow. Why not keep a hair diary for a month (As women, our hormones fluctuate across our cycle which can affect our hair, so doing it for a month will cover all bases!) and jot down on paper or in your phone notes how your hair feels, including any issues you have with it each day, then at the end of the month look back and see how many days you had issues with your hair and why. If you find the majority of the time you were worried about hair loss or a dry and brittle texture,, look back at the UKHAIR Grow Stronger System to see what clinically proven products could help you feel healthier, bolder and stronger!
