Mary Mary Quite Contrary How Does My Hair Grow?
You know hair is a fascinating thing – its grows where we don’t
want and doesn't grow where we want it ! It’s just not fair L
But did you know hair growth can be affected by a number of
things:
Previous over plucking – this will over time decreases the
regrowth of hair on eyebrows and may even lead to permanent non regrowth
Weather = hot and humid weather grows body hair and nails much quicker than hot weather due to heat and humidity - if you see a big improvement in nail growth and your head hair its more than likely it will affect all hair on your body! That is why a lot of clients after returning from hot humid weather (Florida etc) they needs waxed much quicker.

Medication – different medications can either stunt hair
growth or increase it two fold so please check the side effects of any
medication you take – I find this is a major factor in changes in hair growth
of clients
Health – poor health and low immunity, vitamin deficiencies and
being run down can lead to poor hair growth – pregnancy on the other hand can
lead to increased hair growth due to a change in hormones that can kick start hair growth – this is
especially visible in clients who have had IPL in the past and their pregnancy
then kick starts the hair growth hormone and sometimes hair starts to grow back
in the IPL area.
Diet – can have a
major impact on your hair – poor diet = poor hair condition = dry brittle hair
= hair breaking when waxing = not a clean wax L
Underactive Thyroid – tend to have very sparse eyebrows due
to this condition (I am proof!)
Age – your hair growth will slow down the older you get
unless you are very unlucky!
Dry hair – if you have dry skin your likely to have dry hair
– this type of hair is brittle
Humidity and Temperature – hair growth tends not to thrive
in the cold but if its cold outside remember we put our house heating on so a
warm house is ideal for hair growth – those that don’t use the heating much
will see a decrease = when it’s hot and even better when humid be prepared to
see an increased growth in your hair that is why the summer will see an increase
in hair growth especially those clients who take overseas holidays in warmer
climates so sometimes their wax will not last as long due to this.
I hope the above is useful for clients who get waxed!
