Learn More About The Hair Growth Cycle & How Nourkrin® Works

A Normal Hair Growth Cycle has 3 phases:

The Hair Growth Cycle is the all-important mechanism regulating hair growth on the scalp. Normally, each individual hair strand follows its own hair cycling schedule, completely independent of other hairs on the scalp.

During a normal Hair Growth Cycle, specialised components called proteoglycans play an important role in the normal cycling mechanism of the hair follicle.

At any given time, 10-15% of your hair is shedding. This is completely natural and part of a normal Hair Growth Cycle.

GROWING PHASE ANAGEN

Approximately 85-90% of the hair is actively growing at any given time. Proteoglycans play an essential role in maintaining a balanced environment in the follicle that ensures the hair remains in the Anagen phase for the full duration and reduces the risk of premature shedding.

Average duration: 3 years, but can be longer.

TRANSITION PHASE CATAGEN

Approximately 1% of hair is in this phase at any given time. The hair’s nutrient vessel, the dermal papilla, disconnects from the follicle and brings the growth phase to an end – afterwards the hair is shed.

Average duration: 1-2 weeks only.

RESTING PHASE TELOGEN

Approximately 10-15% of hair is in this phase at any given time. Once the hair reaches its full growth potential, it sits inactive in the follicle until released. The follicle then produces a new hair, thereby beginning a new growth phase and completing the cycle.

Average duration: 3-4 months.

The Disrupted Hair Growth Cycle

Regardless of the hair loss cause or the hair growth issue, the Hair Growth Cycle is almost always affected. A disruption to the normal Hair Growth Cycle can cause both increased shedding and weaker regrowth, leading to thin and wispy hair.

The consequences of a disrupted Hair Growth Cycle are often:

Shortened Growth Phase
Early Transition Phase
Prolonged Resting Phase

1 Shortened Growth Phase

The duration of the growth phase is shortened, and the entire Hair Growth Cycle becomes negatively affected.

2 Early Transition Phase

When the growth phase is shortened, the hair follicle enters the transition phase earlier than normal.

3 Prolonged Resting Phase

As more hairs enter the resting phase prematurely, the normal resting phase becomes prolonged, causing increased shedding. A prolonged resting phase means that fewer hair follicles re-enter the growth phase, which results in weaker or no regrowth (these are often referred to as dormant hair follicles).

The Nourkrin® Effect

The goal of any professional hair treatment approach, no matter the cause, type or hair growth issue, is to normalise and restore the Hair Growth Cycle.

During a normal Hair Growth Cycle, specialised components called proteoglycans play an important role in the hair follicle’s normal cycling mechanism. Marilex® contains high proportions of specific papillary proteoglycans which are critical to hair follicle growth and cycling.
