Understanding the Science Behind Hair Growth
We talk a lot about hair oils, serums, and scalp health-but what's actually happening underneath the surface?
Let's break down the biology behind hair growth and why Asta's ingredients are scientifically backed to help you grow stronger, longer hair.
Hair Grows in Cycles
Your hair grows in phases:
- Anagen (Growth Phase): Lasts 3-7 years. Most of your hair is in this phase right now.
- Catagen (Transition Phase): A short phase where hair growth slows down.
- Telogen (Resting Phase): Hair falls out and the cycle resets.
What you eat, how you treat your scalp, and what products you use all influence how long your hair stays in that crucial growth phase.
What Affects Growth?
- Circulation: Blood flow to the scalp brings essential nutrients to your follicles. That's why ingredients like rosemary and castor oil are game changers.
- Nutrient Support: Oils like amla, baobab, and moringa are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that keep follicles active and healthy.
- Scalp Health: A clean, balanced scalp (thanks to tea tree and sage oils) creates the perfect environment for new growth.
- Protein & Peptides: Ingredients like biotinoyl tripeptide-1 and hydrolyzed proteins strengthen strands and minimize breakage-so the hair you grow actually lasts.
Backed by Nature, Supported by Science
Asta's formulas don't just feel good-they're grounded in real science. When you understand how hair grows, it's easy to see why our ingredients make such a difference.
