How long does it take for hair to grow back?

The rate at which hair grows back varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors such as age, genetics, general state of health and hair care habits. On average, human hair tends to grow about 0.5 to 1 centimetre per month.

How much hair grows per day?

It is estimated that each hair follicle on the scalp can produce between 0.3 and 0.4 millimetres of hair per day, or around 1 to 1.5 centimetres per month. However, it is important to note that not all hair follicles are active at the same time, and hair growth can vary depending on the area of the scalp.

How can I get my hair to be more curly?

By its very nature, frizzy hair is fragile and requires special care to help it grow. Here are a few tips to stimulate hair growth: Regular moisturising: frizzy hair tends to be drier. Use hair milks or moisturising sprays based on ingredients such as aloe vera or plant-based glycerine. Seal in moisture: apply a carrier oil (castor, coconut or avocado) after moisturising to seal the water in the hair fibre. Scalp massages: massage regularly with a stimulating oil such as castor oil or mustard oil to promote blood circulation and activate hair follicles. Protective routine: avoid touching it very much and opt for protective hairstyles (braids, curls, twists) while avoiding excessive tightness to avoid damaging the roots. Balanced diet: eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and essential fatty acids, which are necessary for hair growth.

How do I get my hair to grow?

Getting your hair to grow requires patience, care and regular maintenance. Here are a few key steps: Avoid frequent trimming: there's no need to trim the ends too often, unless you have visible split ends. Instead, opt for a light refresh every 3 to 4 months. Adopt an appropriate hair care routine: opt for gentle, sulphate-free shampoos and weekly repair masks to strengthen your hair all the way down and prevent breakage. Stimulate the scalp: regular massages and the use of rosemary or peppermint serums or oils help to stimulate growth. Avoid damaging it: reduce your use of heat sources such as straightening or curling irons and protect your hair from friction, especially at night, with a silk cap or satin pillow. Be patient: on average, hair grows about 1 cm a month. A regular routine and a balanced diet will help optimise this natural process.

How can you get your hair to grow faster as a man?

For men, the hair growth process is biologically identical to that of women, and the Aroma Zone natural hair care routines apply just as much. However, there are some specific factors that need to be taken into account. For example, male pattern baldness, often caused by hormonal factors (dihydrotestosterone or DHT), can slow hair growth or lead to localised hair loss. In this case, natural solutions such as pumpkin seed oil or pea extract (found in Aroma Zone's Anti-Hair Loss Serum) can help to slow down these effects. Finally, for men with short hair, it's also important to protect the scalp from external damage, such as the sun or pollution, which can weaken the roots.

Our tips for growing hair faster

Tip 1: Scalp massage

Massage your scalp regularly to boost microcirculation. For 1 to 2 minutes a day, use your fingers or the palms of your hands to gently lift the roots, restore suppleness to your scalp, ensure your hair is better oxygenated and stimulate hair growth. From time to time, apply a stimulating serum to the roots to boost the effectiveness of the massage.

Tip 2: Scrub your scalp

Once or twice a month, carry out a scalp exfoliation once or twice a month to remove excess sebum and dead skin cells that block the hair at the root and restrict its growth. Massage the scrub gently into the scalp for 5 minutes and leave it on for 30 minutes before using a gentle shampoo to promote hair length. This frees the hair at the root and promotes hair growth.

Tip 3: Rinse with cold water

Rinse your hair with cold water at the end of your shower to boost hair growth. Ideal for stimulating blood microcirculation and giving your hair follicles a boost, a cold water rinse at the end of your shower is your essential ally. For even greater effectiveness, finish with a refreshing lotion enriched with toning hydrolats made from Nettle or Verbenone rosemary to further stimulate hair growth.

Tip no. 4: nourish your hair

Get your fill of the vitamins, proteins and minerals essential for beautiful, long hair with capsules or drinks rich in essential nutrients. Opt for a vitamin and protein supplement based on baobab pulp, and Sweet Almond Milk. Also consider incorporating Moringa powder, which is exceptionally rich in vitamin A, into your diet to accelerate hair growth.

Hair: everything you need to know about hair growth and daily advice

Hair growth

Hair has a limited lifespan and follows a clearly defined life cycle, known as the "hair cycle". This cycle is divided into three phases:

the anagen phase: this is the hair's growth phase, which lasts on average between 3 and 6 years.
the catagen phase: this is the transition phase, lasting less than a month, during which the rate of hair growth slows down.
the telogen phase: this is the phase that completes the cycle and corresponds to the period when the hair falls out. It lasts about 3 months.

Each hair follows its own random cycle. It is therefore perfectly normal to lose up to a hundred hairs a day. When the hair reaches the end of its life cycle, it naturally detaches from the hair follicle and falls out. A new bulb develops in its place, and a new hair begins its life cycle.

The speed of growth

The rate at which hair grows per month varies greatly from one individual to another. Experts agree that we gain an average of 1cm every 30 days. Asian hair, which is thick and strong, grows faster, but frizzy hair, which is fragile and brittle, grows much more slowly.

Food advice

Your daily diet has a significant influence on the condition of your hair. We advise you to adopt a healthy diet by eating more foods rich in nutrients and vitamins, as well as iron and zinc.

Drink plenty of water and don't forget to include fruit and vegetables, seeds and nuts, as well as eggs, lean meat and fish if you eat them. A natural food supplement (biotin) taken as a 3-month course of treatment can be useful for providing essential nutritional elements.Ashwagandha is also recommended for its many benefits. Its richness in antioxidants, iron and amino acids provides a cocktail of nutrients for healthy hair.

Daily hair care

To stimulate growth and take care of your hair every day, we recommend a few simple steps:

Massage your scalp for 5 minutes a day to stimulate blood circulation.
Moisturise your hair regularly with masks or moisturising solutions
Use natural but non-aggressive and chemical stimulating shampoos to care for your hair
Handle heating appliances such as hairdryers and straightening irons with care
Cut your ends regularly to preserve your locks over the long term
Don't brush your hair for too long and opt for loose styles

Expert advice

"Avoid wrapping your hair in a towel when you get out of the shower. The thick, absorbent fibres of conventional towels do not respect the nature of the hair. They prevent the hair from breathing and tend to weaken it and slow down its growth. Smaller hairs near your face are more likely to break. Microfibre towels are highly absorbent, flexible and lightweight, so they reduce drying time and are much gentler on the hair. Also remember to trim your lengths regularly to prevent split ends. If you split your hair, it's bound to break and you'll lose length.

Precautions

Essential oils are powerful natural concentrates. Please refer carefully to the intended uses and precautions for use on each product information sheet. Store them in a suitable glass bottle, away from light and air. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use on pregnant or breastfeeding women, or on children under 6 years of age. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Please refer to the general safety information sheet for essential oils as well as the specific information sheet for each essential oil.
