Understanding how your hair grows can help you make better decisions about your hair care routine. Hair growth occurs in a cycle with three distinct phases, and each strand of hair is at a different stage at any given time.

The Anagen Phase (Growth Phase): This is the active growth phase where hair follicles are pushing out hair. This phase can last 2-7 years, and the length of this phase determines how long your hair can grow. About 85-90% of the hair on your head is in this phase at any time.

The Catagen Phase (Transition Phase): This short transitional phase lasts about 2-3 weeks. During this time, hair growth stops, and the hair follicle shrinks. Only about 1-2% of hair is in this phase at any time.

The Telogen Phase (Resting Phase): This is the resting phase that lasts about 3 months. The hair doesn't grow but stays attached to the follicle. About 10-15% of hair is in this phase. At the end of this phase, the hair falls out, and a new hair begins to grow.

Why Hair Falls Out: It's normal to lose 50-100 hairs per day as part of this natural cycle. However, when more hairs enter the telogen phase than normal, you may notice increased hair fall. This can be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or medical conditions.

How ZOBO HairGrowFix Helps: Our serum is formulated with Rosemary and Caffeine, which are clinically researched to extend the anagen phase and stimulate hair follicles. This means longer, stronger hair growth and reduced hair fall.

Tips to Optimize Your Hair Growth Cycle: Maintain a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Avoid harsh chemical treatments that can damage follicles. Keep your scalp clean and healthy. Use products with proven ingredients like those in ZOBO HairGrowFix.
