Vogue Beauty Guide: Expert Tips on How to Grow Hair Faster
An article in Vogue's beauty section discusses methods to enhance hair growth, featuring insights from nine experts. It describes the hair growth cycle in three phases: anagen (lasting 3-5 years, growing ½ inch per month), catagen (10 days), and telogen (shedding phase). Andrew Fitzsimons mentions that hair typically grows around six inches each year, influenced by genetics and personal habits. Dr. Marisa Garshick points out various factors that impact growth, including overall health and breakage. Suggested practices encompass regular trims, treatments for split ends like Briogeo's oil and Amika's cream, and scalp care. Weekly deep conditioning with products such as Briogeo's mask is crucial. Nutritionist Maria Marlowe recommends a nutrient-rich plant-based diet. Additional tools include silk pillowcases, detangling brushes, red light therapy, and at-home dermarolling.
