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 the scalp regularly to activate scalp microcirculation. For 1 to 2 minutes a day, work with your fingers or the flat of your hands to loosen the roots, leave the scalp more supple, oxygenate the hair and stimulate hair growth. Apply a stimulating serum to the roots from time to time to boost the effectiveness of the massage.

Tip 2: Scrub your scalp

Once or twice a month, exfoliate the scalp to remove excess sebum and dead skin that block the hair at the roots and restrict its growth. Gently massage the scrub into the scalp for 5 minutes and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing with a gentle length-activating shampoo. The hair is freed up at the roots and hair growth is facilitated.

Tip 3: Rinse with cold water

Give your hair a final rinse with cold water to boost hair growth. Ideal for activating blood microcirculation and giving hair bulbs a boost, the spray of cold water at the end of your shower is your essential ally. For even greater effectiveness, finish off with a fresh lotion enriched with invigorating Nettle or Rosemary verbenone hydrosols to further activate hair growth.

Tip no. 4: nourish your hair

Fill up on the vitamins, proteins and minerals you need for long, beautiful hair with capsules or drinks rich in essential nutrients. Opt for a vitamin and protein treatment based on Baobab pulp and Sweet Almond Milk. And don't forget to include Moringa powder, with its exceptional vitamin A content, in your diet to speed up 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

Simple, natural recipes to accelerate hair growth

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 consult the general safety information sheet for essential oils as well as the specific information sheet for each essential oil.
