How Fast Can My Hair Grow? While we’ll provide some science-backed tips for hair growth, there’s some interesting information to know about the science of hair. Okay, maybe you don’t think it’s as interesting as we do, but it’s important information to know. All the hair follicles on your head now — the tiny organs throughout your scalp from which your hair grows — are the ones you were born with. You might grow new hairs, but you can’t create new follicles. As the hair follicle develops, blood supplies oxygen and nutrients to the hair root, which helps your hair grow up through the follicle and out of your scalp. Hair growth starts from a bulb at the bottom of the root of the hair. Cells at the root stick together and harden, and the hair is gradually pushed up out of the skin. It’s crucial to remember that hair loss is completely normal, with the average person losing around 100 hairs each day as part of the natural hair cycle. New hairs grow in, too, but hair loss is just more noticeable than hair growth. You can think of encouraging hair growth in two parts: keeping the hair you have healthy and stimulating growth.
