Hair restoration is a process that reverses the dormancy of hair roots and enables them to re-grow the hair. Humans lose hair by the ‘tuft fulls’, on a daily basis. Hair loss can happen by natural and unnatural means. Natural wear and tear can make people lose 150-200 strands of hair, each day. Exposure to dust, pollutants, etc. and stress related hair fall can add another 200 strands to the everyday loss. It is necessary for us to restore this lost hair by providing nourishment. But many a time, the food intake does not contain adequate nutrients for hair restoration and it is important to supplement the nutrient requirement for the hair by other means. There are many hair regrowth products in the market that do this work. Let us take a look at the function and effectiveness of these products.

Hair nourishment: Hair loss occurs when there is insufficient nourishment in the food. This deficiency causes the hair to lose its vitality; it degenerates and breaks away. The roots lose their strength to re-grow the hair and become dormant. The dormant roots can be revitalized if nurtured. Hair regrowth products must contain vitamins and proteins that are required by the roots to come out of dormancy. The most effective way is to apply these nutrients directly to the roots by the means of hair oils, creams and lotions. Direct absorption by the roots minimizes the loss of nutrients and also eliminates the possibility of them getting utilized by the body for other functions. Sustained application of these products reduces the necessity of a hair transplant.

Hair and scalp care: Dormant roots also induce the follicles to clog up. There are a lot of impurities that hair attracts. Dust particles, dead skin, sweat and grime, etc. are some of the impurities that get accumulated in the follicles. The hair regrowth products must be able to remove the impurities from the follicles and enable them to provide a path for the nutrients to reach hair roots. Also, these products must contain anti-fungal and anti-infection medicines. Dandruff and fungal infections are pretty common and cause hair loss. They are also very difficult to be cured of. If left untreated, they can lead to permanent baldness or increase the chances of a hair transplant. The regrowth products must be able to fight off these infections and must also be able to prevent future occurrences of such infections. Only then will the hair roots get the required nutrients to re-grow the hair and maintain their health.
