Do hair growth products work for everyone?
Unfortunately, hair growth products may not work for everyone. Factors such as genetics, underlying health conditions, hormonal imbalances, and the cause of hair loss can significantly impact the effectiveness of hair growth treatments. It's essential to manage expectations and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
Can I use multiple hair growth products simultaneously?
It's generally not recommended to use multiple hair growth products simultaneously unless advised by a healthcare professional. Using too many products at once can potentially cause scalp irritation or other adverse effects.
Why you might experience hair shedding before seeing growth with haircare products.
When starting a new hair growth regimen, many people are alarmed to find their hair falling out more than usual. It can be disheartening, especially when you're using products specifically designed to stimulate growth. But this initial shedding is often a natural part of the process—and can even be a sign that the treatment is working.
- Pushing Out Older Hairs: Products designed to stimulate growth, such as Megi Wellness kickstart the growth phase (anagen) by pushing hairs in the telogen phase to shed faster than they naturally would. This means the older, weaker hairs fall out, making room for new, stronger strands.
- The Renewal Process: During the shedding phase, it might feel like you're losing more hair than usual, but this is actually your scalp renewing itself. By speeding up the process, these treatments help new, healthier hair grow sooner than if it had remained in the resting phase longer.
- Improving Follicle Health: Growth-stimulating products nourish and improve hair follicles, preparing them for stronger, more productive growth. However, follicles need to clear out the old, lifeless hair to make room for the new.
How to handle the shedding phase?
Although shedding is a normal part of the process, it can still be worrying. Here are a few tips to manage this phase:
- Be Patient: Know that the shedding phase is temporary, and it’s often a positive sign that the product is working.
- Stick to Your Routine: Consistency is essential. Don’t stop using your growth-stimulating products during the shedding phase, or you risk interrupting the progress.
- Maintain Scalp Health: Keeping your scalp clean and nourished helps optimize hair growth. Look for shampoos that balance moisture and clarify the scalp without being too harsh.
- Gentle Styling: Avoid tight hairstyles and aggressive brushing or towel drying during this period to minimize breakage and additional hair loss.
- Consult a Professional: If you’re unsure or the shedding lasts longer than expected, it may help to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to rule out other underlying causes.
Your patience will be rewarded with thicker, stronger hair! 🌿
Why Megi Wellness products are particularly great for menopausal hair loss, thinning
Menopausal hair loss is primarily caused by hormonal shifts—specifically, a drop in estrogen and progesterone, which allows androgens (like DHT) to have a stronger, shrinking effect on hair follicles.
The Megi Wellness products are ideal for this type of thinning because it use a multi-action, hormone-friendly approach, unlike some single-ingredient solutions:
- Targets the Root Cause (DHT/Androgens): Ingredients like Capixyl™ (a complex of biomimetic peptides and red clover extract) are included to help reduce the hair-damaging effects of hormonal factors like DHT, which can contribute to the follicle miniaturization seen during menopause.
- Reactivates Dormant Follicles: Ingredients like AnaGain™ (from organic pea sprouts) and Capilia Longa™ (from turmeric stem cells) are clinically shown to stimulate the essential signaling molecules in the scalp. This helps prolong the hair's growth (anagen) phase and wake up dormant follicles that may have slowed down due to age and hormone changes.
- Strengthens and Fortifies: The serum uses naturally derived peptides and essential minerals to nourish and strengthen the hair follicle structure and anchoring, making the existing hair more resilient against the fragility that often comes with age.
Are natural hair growth products better than synthetic ones?
Both natural and synthetic hair growth products can be effective, depending on their ingredients and formulation. Some people prefer natural products due to concerns about potential side effects of synthetic ingredients, but efficacy varies widely among products.
Do hair growth products really work?
This is a common question. While some hair growth products have been clinically proven to stimulate hair growth, results can vary greatly depending on individual factors such as genetics, underlying health conditions, and consistency of product usage. We use AnaGain clinically studied ingredient with great results on stimulating hair growth.
How do hair growth products work?
Most effective hair growth products, whether pharmaceutical or naturally derived, work by targeting one or more of the three main causes of thinning hair: shortening the growth cycle, insufficient nutrient supply, and hormonal factors.
Extending the Hair Growth Cycle
The hair growth cycle has three main phases:
- Anagen (Growth Phase): The longer hair stays in this phase, the longer it grows.
- Catagen (Transition Phase): Hair growth slows down.
- Telogen (Resting/Shedding Phase): Hair rests and is eventually shed.
- How Products Help: Many effective treatments, like Minoxidil (a vasodilator) and ingredients found in our Megi Serum, like peptides and plant extracts, work by shortening the resting (telogen) phase and extending the growth (anagen) phase. This causes dormant follicles to wake up sooner and spend more time actively producing hair, leading to thicker, denser growth over time.
Increase microcirculation: They act as vasodilators, widening the tiny blood vessels around the follicle.
Boost Nutrient Supply: This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen, vitamins, and growth factors to the dermal papilla (the base of the follicle), revitalizing weakened or miniaturized hair
How long does it take to see results with hair growth products?
Results vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice improvement within a few weeks, while others may require several months of consistent use before seeing noticeable changes in hair growth.
Can I use Megi products alongside Minoxidil?
Minoxidil (The "Boost"): Is an excellent vasodilator that increases blood flow to the follicles, stimulating growth. However, it is a lifelong treatment. When you stop, the external stimulus is removed, and hair loss often resumes because the underlying strength of the follicle hasn't fundamentally changed.
Megi Wellness Serum (The "Foundation"): Our serum is formulated to support the follicle's internal health and structure. It is powered by naturally derived peptides that:
- Strengthen the bulb of the follicle from the inside out, making the hair more resilient.
- Stimulate growth by improving cellular communication.
- Improve the scalp environment for long-term health.
When used alongside Minoxidil, it helps ensure that newly stimulated hairs grow stronger and stay anchored, reducing the chance of shedding once Minoxidil use is reduced or stopped.
