How does hair grow?
The surface of the skin has dead skin cells. As women are well aware, if this remains on the surface of the skin indefinitely, the skin may look dull and makeup may not apply properly. The cycle in which old keratin is replaced by new cells is called “turnover,” and each cycle takes about 28 days. This number of days increases with age. Since hair is also a part of the skin, the speed of hair growth slows down with age. By the way, one thing that determines the speed of hair growth is growth factor. This is a small protein secreted by cells. However, it is not yet clear which growth factors affect the speed.
