“Dehydration can also cause the hair strands to become dry and brittle, leading to accelerated breakage.”
The health platform Pharmica UK explains that each hair strand goes through several hair growth cycles.
These stages are anagen (growth), catagen (transition) and telogen (resting).
According to the health body, each strand of hair has a life cycle of between two and six years, where hairs form normally.
During the summer months, hairs tend to remain in the telegenic phase for a longer period of time.
