Under normal physiological metabolism, losing hair every day is a normal phenomenon because new hair continuously grows in. However, if you notice that you are losing more and more hair and that the scalp, which should be covered by hair, is becoming increasingly visible, you should be aware that you might be facing a hair loss crisis.
Determining the Severity of Hair Loss
Medically, male hair loss is divided into seven stages (Norwood-Hamilton classification), while female hair loss is divided into three stages (Ludwig-Savin classification). Regardless of gender, the hair loss crisis can be generally categorized into three stages: “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe.”
The characteristics of each stage of hair loss are determined by the proportion of hair in different phases of the hair growth cycle. The patterns of hair loss also differ significantly between men and women. Men often face issues such as vertex or frontal hair loss, commonly known as male-pattern baldness or M-shaped baldness. In contrast, women tend to experience more diffuse hair loss, with hair thinning evenly across the scalp. As the severity increases, the hairline and scalp become more noticeable.
Causes of Hair Loss
The visible issues are on the scalp, but the fundamental solution lies beneath it.
To address abnormal hair loss, we must improve the hair follicles at the root level. Through years of research, we have identified the causes of hair loss:
Shortening of the Anagen (Growth) Phase:
When the dermal papilla atrophies, it obstructs the nutrient supply channels, preventing the hair follicles from receiving the necessary nutrients. This halts hair growth, leading to increased hair loss and reduced hair volume.
Prolongation of the Telogen (Resting) Phase:
An extended resting phase prevents hair follicles from entering the next growth cycle, leading to decreased hair volume over time.
Solutions for Hair Loss
Understanding the root causes of hair loss allows us to identify key goals to address abnormal hair loss:
- Activating hair follicle stem cells and rebuilding the nutrient supply to the dermal papilla area
- Promoting the division of matrix cells to extend the hair growth phase
Years of scientific research have found that increasing the expression of WNT activator factors while decreasing the expression of BMP inhibitors can activate the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. This activation promotes the proliferation and migration of hair follicle stem cells, thus extending the hair growth phase.
The research team at GrowMagic has conducted multiple experiments and tests to develop a patented hair growth serum with an optimal ratio of ingredients. This serum stimulates the activation of hair follicle stem cells, fundamentally rebuilding the health of scalp hair follicles, and effectively reducing hair loss.
Maintaining a healthy scalp is a continuous process. Just as we habitually clean and apply skincare products to our faces every morning and evening, our scalp also requires regular cleansing and care. Therefore, let’s make scalp care a part of our daily routine!
