Hair Growth Science

Meaning

Hair Growth Science is the precise study of how our hair grows, specifically applied to the unique biology of textured strands—from their distinct follicular architecture to the lifecycle of individual coils and kinks. It provides a grounding understanding of the factors influencing length retention and overall scalp wellness for Black and mixed-race hair. This scientific lens helps us discern effective care protocols, transforming routine actions into a systematic, almost automated approach. Understanding cellular processes, genetic predispositions, and environmental impacts allows for informed decisions, moving beyond guesswork to establish predictable, beneficial hair practices. It’s about knowing the mechanisms of growth and breakage, then implementing a considered system for consistent results, honouring the hair’s natural inclinations while promoting its vitality.
