When you consider that the follicle is the only living part of your hair (the lengths are dead, so you can improve the condition, but you can’t really make it healthier, per se), it seems crazy that we don’t give it a little more attention. The scalp is the bedrock for the hair follicle, and if it is not in good condition, the chances of experiencing problems with hair growth and health increase significantly.
Everyday stress, hormonal changes, poor nutrition, age, menopause, post-pregnancy, heredity, medication, and damage caused by the environment and over-styling can impact the health of your hair and lead to breakage and excess shedding. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that the hair and scalp are healthy, conditioned and nourished to maintain the ideal environment for healthy hair growth.
