Hair growth can be influenced by your life stage, lifestyle, and bio-specific triggers that impact the hair follicle. Women ages 18-14 may experience stress from a busy lifestyle, which signals the hair follicle to stop growing prematurely, resulting in excess shedding. Starting in our late 20s, collagen and elastin begin to break down, degrading the scalp layer so hair strands are weaker and can start to feel dry or coarse. Hormonally, DHT can cause hair follicles to shrink (miniaturize) and eventually close so hair can no longer grow in androgen-sensitive women. Fluctuations in hormone levels may also affect hair growth. Changes in nutrition, metabolism, and nutrient gaps that support the hair cycle can affect the hair growth cycle, while lifestyle factors such as oxidative stress damage the hair follicles and weaken their ability to produce and grow hair.
