The density and strength of the hair depend on the condition of the hair follicles. If the hair is weak, quickly falls out, and breaks, it means that you urgently need to "wake up" the hair follicles; otherwise, you can be completely left without hair. How to wake up dormant hair follicles, and what type of hair repair steps must you follow?
Each hair on the head has its own base-bulb, which is the main organ of the hair. When the hair follicles are in a state of sleep, the hair stops growing, and sometimes it starts to fall out profusely. Most often, the reasons for the sleep of hair follicles are stress and lack of vitamins. It is possible to wake up the bulbs, but the result requires some effort.
Why Do Hair Follicles “Fall Asleep”?
The condition of the hair follicles directly depends on the condition of the follicle, which is responsible for hair growth.
When the follicle is weakened, the bulb begins to fall asleep or even die off, and the hair becomes thin and weakened.
If nothing is done, the follicle can completely stop working. The results from this are the most unpleasant.
Possible causes of sleep bulbs:
- Poor blood flow to the scalp;
- Excess sebaceous glands on the scalp;
- Excessive use of hairdryers, flat curlers, and cosmetic hair repair chemicals;
The first two reasons are due to the work of the human body. Violation of its functioning can occur due to the stress mentioned above, as well as hormonal disruptions, lack of sleep, and a lack of vitamins in the body.
To solve the problem of bulbs sleep, in this case, you can eliminate its cause.
As for the use of a hairdryer, curling pads, and chemistry, the situation is more complicated here because these funds do not just lull the hair follicle; they cause the follicle to die off. If the dream of the bulb has come, for this reason, you cannot do without special methods of awakening the bulb.
There is another reason for falling asleep hair follicles - this is the lack of hair hygiene.
If the hair is not washed for a long time, the sebaceous glands clog the bulb, and it ceases to receive the necessary oxygen. Regular shampooing with hair repair products is not just one of the basics of self-care but also the prevention of hair follicles falling asleep.
