Understanding the hair growth cycle. Every hair follicle cycles through three phases: anagen (the active growth phase, lasting 2–7 years, where around 85–90% of your hairs are at any time), catagen (a short transition phase of 2–3 weeks), and telogen (a resting phase of about 3 months, after which the hair sheds). Losing 50–100 hairs a day is completely normal — density loss occurs when follicles shift out of the growth phase too early or produce progressively finer hairs.
Lifestyle Factors That Affect Hair Density
Stress — significant physical or emotional stress can push a large share of follicles into the resting phase at once, causing diffuse shedding 2–3 months later (a well-documented condition called telogen effluvium).
Diet — peer-reviewed research links deficiencies in iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin and protein to increased shedding (Almohanna et al., Dermatology and Therapy, 2019). Restrictive diets and rapid weight loss are common triggers.
Hair care habits — tight ponytails and braids (traction), heat styling, and chemical processing weaken the hair shaft and can cause breakage and gradual thinning, while an inflamed, flaky scalp impairs healthy growth.
Propaira Actives & Their Benefits
Biotin, Zinc & Iron (Hair Booster Plus & Hair Revitalising Plus Capsules) — essential cofactors for keratin production and the follicle's energy supply; supplementation supports normal hair growth where intake is inadequate.
Saw Palmetto (Hair Booster Plus Capsules) — a botanical studied for its ability to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, a key driver of pattern hair thinning.
Topical follicle actives (Hair Loss Revitalising Serum & Shampoo) — deliver stimulating and conditioning ingredients directly to the scalp to support follicles through the growth phase.
Piroctone Olamine (SD Plus and Anti-Dandruff Shampoos) — a clinically studied antifungal that calms the flaking and inflammation of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, helping maintain the healthy scalp environment hair needs to thrive.
Consistency is essential — because of the hair cycle's length, most people need 3–6 months of regular use before density improvements become visible. If you're experiencing sudden or patchy hair loss, we recommend also speaking with your GP or dermatologist to rule out underlying causes.
