How Hair Grows and How To Boost It Naturally

If your hair is thinning, falling out, or no longer growing the way it used to, you’re not alone. Hair loss affects millions of people and can start at any age. For many, it becomes a daily concern that impacts confidence and self-image.

But the good news is that there are natural ways to support healthy hair growth—and one of the most effective, science-backed treatments is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. At Raw Beauty Aesthetics, PRP Hair Restoration offers a non-surgical way to help your body renew and strengthen its own hair, using your own blood’s healing potential.

Let’s break down how hair naturally grows, why thinning happens, and how PRP can help you restore thicker, stronger hair from the inside out.

The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair doesn’t grow all at once or at the same speed across your scalp. Every strand goes through a cycle with distinct phases:

1. Anagen (growth phase): This is when hair actively grows. It lasts between 2 and 7 years and determines how long your hair can grow.
2. Catagen (transition phase): A short period of a couple of weeks when growth slows and the follicle begins to shrink.
3. Telogen (resting phase): Hair stays in place but is no longer growing. After a few months, it naturally falls out, and the cycle restarts.

At any given time, about 90% of your hair is in the anagen phase, while the rest is either resting or preparing to shed. This cycle keeps your hair replenishing itself over time.

What Causes Hair Loss or Thinning?

Hair loss can be gradual or sudden, and the reasons vary widely. Some of the most common causes include:

Hormonal Changes

One of the biggest contributors to hair thinning is hormone imbalance. This includes conditions like androgenetic alopecia (also called male or female pattern baldness), where certain hormones shrink the hair follicle over time.

Genetics

Your family history plays a significant role. If close relatives have experienced hair loss, you may be more likely to notice thinning as you age.

Stress and Illness

Emotional or physical stress can push more hair into the resting phase, leading to noticeable shedding. This type of loss is usually temporary, but it can be alarming.

Nutrient Deficiencies

Low levels of iron, vitamin D, biotin, and protein can interfere with healthy hair growth. Hair relies on consistent nutrition to thrive.

Medical Conditions

Autoimmune disorders, thyroid imbalances, or scalp infections can interrupt the natural growth cycle.

Hairstyling Habits

Tight ponytails, heat styling, and chemical treatments can damage hair and cause it to break or fall out prematurely.

While some causes are temporary, others require deeper intervention. That’s where PRP Hair Restoration can make a difference by waking up sluggish or dormant hair follicles.

What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a natural, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing components to stimulate hair growth.

Here’s how it works:

1. A small sample of your blood is drawn.
2. That blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma.
3. The concentrated PRP is then injected directly into areas of your scalp where thinning or shedding is most noticeable.

Platelets in your blood carry powerful growth factors and nutrients that help repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular renewal. When delivered to your hair follicles, these growth factors can help:

• Stimulate new hair growth
• Extend the anagen (growth) phase
• Strengthen existing hair
• Improve scalp circulation
• Wake up dormant follicles

The result is stronger, healthier, more resilient hair over time.

How PRP Supports Natural Hair Growth

The science behind PRP is rooted in how your body repairs itself. Platelets contain granules filled with signaling molecules that tell nearby tissues to grow, regenerate, and heal. When injected into your scalp, PRP brings attention to areas where follicles need a boost.

Some key benefits include:

• Cell regeneration: The PRP supports the development of new blood vessels and cellular turnover in the follicle.
• Increased nutrients: Your follicles get better access to oxygen, vitamins, and minerals via improved circulation.
• Activation of stem cells: PRP can signal follicle stem cells to wake up, leading to visible thickening and regrowth.

PRP works best when hair is thinning or has recently been lost—not when follicles are already scarred or inactive long term. That’s why early treatment is important for the best results.

What To Expect During a PRP Treatment

A PRP session at Raw Beauty Aesthetics is quick and designed for comfort. Here’s what your visit might include:

1. Blood draw: Just like a standard lab test, a small sample of blood is collected.
2. Centrifuge process: Your blood is spun to isolate the PRP from red and white blood cells.
3. Scalp preparation: A local anesthetic is applied to keep the treatment comfortable.
4. Injection process: The PRP is injected in small amounts across the targeted areas of the scalp.

The entire process typically takes about an hour. Most clients return to their day right afterward with little to no downtime. You may have some mild redness or sensitivity, but this usually resolves within a few hours.

For best results, PRP treatments are usually done in a series—often once every 4 to 6 weeks for several months, followed by maintenance sessions a few times per year.

Who Is a Good Fit for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Thinning hair at the crown or temples
• A receding hairline
• Hair that’s lost density or strength
• Early-stage hair loss
• Hormone-related shedding

It’s suitable for both men and women and works best when hair loss is recent or active, rather than long-term or caused by scarring.

However, PRP may not be recommended if you have:

• Certain bleeding disorders
• Active infections
• Some autoimmune conditions
• Uncontrolled thyroid disease

Your provider at Raw Beauty Aesthetics will discuss your medical history and evaluate your scalp to determine if PRP is a good match.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

What makes PRP an appealing choice for many people?

1. There are no incisions, stitches, or long recovery times.
2. Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low.
3. Most clients return to work or daily life immediately after treatment.
4. Hair becomes thicker, fuller, and more resilient over time.
5. PRP can be paired with other treatments or topical solutions for enhanced results.

Most people start seeing new growth or thickening within 3 to 6 months, with continued improvement in the months that follow.

How to Maximize Your Hair Growth Naturally

In addition to PRP, there are several steps you can take to support your body’s ability to grow healthy hair:

• Eat a nutrient-rich diet: Include protein, omega-3 fats, iron, zinc, and vitamin D to support follicle health.
• Avoid harsh treatments: Limit bleaching, straightening, and high-heat styling tools that cause breakage.
• Massage your scalp: Regular massage increases circulation and helps deliver nutrients to hair follicles.
• Stay hydrated and manage stress: Chronic stress and dehydration can both interfere with healthy hair growth.

PRP works best when your body is supported from the inside out, so combining the treatment with healthy lifestyle habits can enhance your results.
