What Makes Hair Grow Faster? | Q-SkinScience® Forti5

Anagen – The Growth Phase
- Duration:
  2–7 years
- Growth Rate:
  About 1 cm per month
- % of Hairs in This Phase:
  85–90%
The Anagen phase is when your hair is actively growing. The longer your hair stays in this phase, the longer it can grow. Genetics play a big role in determining how long your Anagen phase lasts — but environmental and nutritional factors can influence it, too.
Catagen – The Transition Phase
Duration:
1–2 weeks

This brief stage is when hair growth stops, and the follicle begins to shrink.Blood supply detaches from the strand, and the hair prepares to shed. Think of it as the "rest stop" between growth and shedding.
Telogen –The Resting (Shedding) Phase
- Duration:
  3–4 months
- % of Hairs in This Phase:
  10–15%
- Average Daily Shedding:
  80–100 hairs
In this phase, hair strands are released and fall out naturally. The follicle then rests before the cycle begins again. However, when the Telogen phase lasts too long without re-entering Anagen, you may experience thinning, as fewer hairs are actively growing.

So… WhatAffects Hair Growth Speed?

On average, hair grows about half an inch (1.25 cm) per month, or around 6 inches (15.24 cm) per year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. That may sound like a lot—but growth can be slowed (or masked) by breakage, poor scalp health, or damage at the ends.

Here’s what can impact your hair’s growth potential:

Genetics – Your DNA determines how long your hair stays in the Anagen phase.
Nutrition – Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals can disrupt the growth cycle.
Hair care habits – Heat styling, chemical
treatments, and harsh brushing can lead to split ends and breakage.
Stress and hormonal changes – These can extend the Telogen phase, delaying new growth.
