Hair growth is one of the big concerns we all share, since it's one of the signs of healthy hair. Here are the hair growth products you can use in your daily routine to get the hair you've always dreamed of.
How hair growth works
First, let's understand how hair growth works and what its phases are. Keep in mind that the hairs on our head don't all grow at the same pace, and it's normal to lose around 100 hairs a day.
Hair doesn't grow the same way for everyone and it depends on several factors like genetics, nutrition and care, among others.
The phases of hair growth are known as: anagen, catagen and telogen.
In the anagen phase, the follicle that holds the hair is at its healthiest, and the hair grows nonstop from the root. This phase lasts 2 to 7 years.
In the phase called catagen, the hair stops growing and separates from the dermal papilla, which are clusters of dermal cells essential to the hair root and its growth. This stage lasts about 4 weeks.
Finally, in the telogen phase, the hair's life cycle ends and the hair is shed. Here, the hair stays attached to the follicle and growth stops for about 3 months.
Why isn't my hair growing?
Hair can have trouble growing for several reasons, some within our control and some not. Some of the most common are:
- Poor care habits, including using products not formulated for your hair type or skipping treatments that hydrate and nourish hair so it can grow.
- A diet low in the nutrients and vitamins essential for healthy hair.
- Conditions like stress, extreme tiredness, hormonal changes and other medical conditions that can affect normal hair growth.
Hair growth products
There's no magic formula for hair growth, and no single product that does all the work. What is certain is that by combining different products, you can help your hair grow healthy while it looks shiny and hydrated.
If you want your hair to grow, you need a care routine that includes different products with unique features that support hair growth. How do you start?
Hair loss can be distressing for many people, when it's permanent and extreme and the hair doesn't renew and grow back naturally.
At eva+avo, we believe the properties of natural ingredients can make big changes for the well-being and health of your hair.
Here are the hair growth products we recommend and how to make them work together on your hair for real results.
Start with a cleansing, nourishing shampoo
The first on the list of hair growth products. Look for a shampoo made for your hair type, with natural ingredients that nourish and clean your hair from the root to promote healthy, effective growth.
Our eva+avo Cleansing Shampoo cleans your scalp with avocado, vitamins and wild rosemary oil, and gives you an exquisite scent with notes of white cacao.
Choose a hydrating conditioner
Conditioner is essential for healthy hair, since it gives an extra dose of hydration that softens damaged hair and makes it look shinier.
If your hair is dry or breaks easily, you may have trouble seeing growth, and a conditioner will be key to bringing damaged hair back. At eva+avo, we've created a Hydrating Conditioner that deeply softens your hair with the hydrating properties of avocado and rosemary oils.
Besides promoting hair growth, conditioner minimizes frizz, gets rid of split ends and brings back your hair's natural shine.
Masks for hair growth
Masks are also among the most recommended hair growth products. They have nourishing, hydrating properties that feed hair from the root to promote growth.
You can apply a hair mask regularly at home using natural ingredients like egg, aloe vera or avocado, one of the most powerful ingredients for feeding your hair from the root.
Hair masks are a great way to keep your hair healthy with extra hydration and benefits ranging from more shine to better movement, so every hair type looks amazing.
Nourishing masks are a perfect product for repairing hair damaged by outside factors like sun, cold or pool chlorine, among others.
Natural oils for hair growth
Natural oils have a repairing effect on every hair type. Besides being the perfect finishing touch for shine, movement and scent, they help hydrate your hair so it grows healthy and strong.
eva+avo Shine Avocado Oil gives your hair everything it needs to round out your hair care routine, helping your hair look healthy and grow steadily.
No-rinse styling creams
Your hair may not be growing because it's damaged and lacks nutrients. In some cases, as with curly and wavy hair, hair can tangle and, without the right care, break, dry out and fall out easily.
At eva+avo, we offer a nutrient-rich formula for your hair. Our no-rinse hydrating cream and conditioner is a complete avocado cocktail with vitamins to help your hair grow.
Foods that promote hair growth
Besides the different hair growth products available on the market, it's important to round out your care with nutrient-rich foods that support hair growth.
Some of these foods are:
- Salmon
- Almonds
- Lentils
- Spinach
- Eggs
- Avocado
For the health of your hair and your overall well-being, it's also a good idea to cut back on sugar, alcohol and processed foods.
Rest also affects the health of your hair, since tiredness and stress can affect how your hair normally grows.
Get enough sleep, and give each product you use on your hair time to do its job.
Massages for hair growth
Massages can also be a great complement to using hair growth products.
Besides helping the ingredients work on your hair from the root, massages can soothe your scalp and help your hair recover from the outside factors that can affect normal hair growth.
When you wash your hair and apply shampoo and conditioner, massage gently in circles with your fingertips. Leave the products on for a few minutes and make sure to rinse your hair well, always avoiding very hot water.
