Hair Tip Of The Day!

  Take a Multivitamin Daily! Multivitamins are good for your body, hair , skin, and nails. They increase blood circulation which is the key to hair growth. Poor blood circulation increases your chances of getting retarded hair growth, thinning of the hair, even bald spots! The hair vitamin of your choice should contain iron, zinc, folic acid, biotin, and MSM.
  The cells in your body needs oxygen to reproduce normally, this is why iron is needed. Iron is very important especially for people who are anemic because there is not enough oxygen in their blood. Zinc is good because it prevents hair damage and hair loss. Folic acid and biotin helps hair grow at a faster rate. MSM is really important because it lengthens your anagen ( growth ) phase. The longer your anagen phase, the longer your hair.
  Hair has 3 phases. Anagen - growth stage and lasts from 2 to 6 years. Catagen - shedding phase, lasts from 1 to 2 weeks. In this phase, the hair follicle shrinks to about 1/6 of your hair length. Telogen - resting phase, lasts about 5-6 weeks. During this phase, the hair does not grow. At the end of this phase, the hair follicle enters the anagen phase again and then the whole process starts over.
  For example, say your anagen phase lasts for 2 years. If this is so, you will only achieve shoulder length hair before entering the resting phase. Now, if your anagen phase lasts for 4 years, then your hair will grow down your back before entering the resting phase.
