2 or 3 things to know about hair

Whatever the hair potential, it is good to know that hair is not destined to remain indefinitely on a skull. It has a limited lifespan and follows a process that is strangely similar to that of any living being:

- The growth phase: which corresponds to the appearance of the hair and its growth. This cycle can last from 2 to 5 years. At the end of it, the hair will have grown by an average of 4 inch per year. The growth phase concerns 80% of your hair mass.

- The intermediate phase: this is when the hair loses its vitality. It no longer grows as it used to and is preparing to give up its place... This cycle lasts 1 month and concerns 10% of the hair.

- The hair loss phase: which puts an end to the overall cycle. Hair loss is progressive and can last from 2 to 3 months.

Hair therefore has its own life cycle, it does not grow and fall in a uniform manner, and this is all to the good: more than a hundred hairs fall out every day…

The natural hair extension? Your hair's friend

An extension needs a minimum of original hair to be maintained, or to put it another way: without hair, there are no extensions...

After a few months, I was forced to admit that I had regained my hair. I was therefore able to do without my extensions, which doesn't mean I won't wear them again... For example, for the pleasure of changing my look for a weekend... "

Katia - 28 years old - Accountant

"It runs in the family, we don't have much hair. Men or women, we haven't been spoiled on this side... I resort to extensions punctually, to please myself, on the occasion of a party... And what I can guarantee is that the few hairs I have, they grow normally... When I go to my hairdresser, when I need him to put my tape in hair extensions, I take advantage of it so that he adjusts the length of my original hair. I kill two birds with one stone, if I may say so..."
