Cause of Hair Growth – 3 Reasons
Hormonal Changes
Hormones, such as those during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause, can stimulate hair growth or cause hair loss. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also affect hormone levels, leading to excess hair growth (hirsutism).
Genetics
Your genetic makeup plays a major role in hair growth patterns, including how thick, long, or fast your hair grows. This is why family history often dictates hair growth patterns.
Diet and Nutrition
Proper nutrition, including vitamins and minerals like biotin, vitamin, and iron, can promote healthy hair growth.
A balanced diet supports hair follicles, preventing hair thinning and promoting stronger, healthier growth.

Aftercare
