What Are The Signs of New Hair Growth

Regrowth happens slowly, so if you’ve been taking efforts for months to make your hair healthy and thick, the result may not be immediately visible. However, your hair and scalp will display some signs that will indicate growth, so look out for these.

1. Dark spots

Under proper lighting, part your hair and check for dark spots on the scalp and the hairline. These dark spots are often referred to as a shadow. If you notice them on your scalp, don’t be worried. It’s time to be overjoyed! These dark spots indicate that your hair follicles are in the active phase of hair regrowth. So, these spots are a sure shot sign of new hair growth. As for the colour of the spots, they look dark because the hair shafts are about to emerge from the scalp and grow out.

2. Fuzz

When new hair is growing, it often appears as peach fuzz. You’d have seen this peach fuzz on babies, right? If you notice the same on your scalp, it’s a signs of hair growth. This fuzz is thinner than the rest of your hair, because it has just begun to grow. Give it time, it will grow naturally. The fact that you can see peach fuzz on your scalp is an indication that the hair follicles are active.

3. Fine and short hair growth

Notice those baby hair strands that did not exist earlier? Those are signs of new hair growth on the scalp. If your scalp is healthy, then these baby hair strands will grow faster than usual. That’s the good news, but here’s something you should know – baby hair is delicate and may break easily. You don’t want that now, do you? So be gentle on your scalp so as to not break these baby hair strands. Avoid brushing aggressively or scratching.

4. Fewer split ends

If you see fewer split ends in your hair as compared to earlier, congratulations! This is a signs of new hair growth. Your split ends will reduce only when your hair is healthy and you take proper care of it. Therefore, whatever you have been doing for hair care is clearly working for you when you can see a decrease in your split ends. Continue what you are doing to keep your hair healthy and to help it grow better.

5. Reduced hair loss and hair breakage

Shedding up to 100 hair strands a day is normal, but excessive hair fall is a sign of weak hair. When normal shedding occurs, the hair strand sheds along with the root of the hair, which looks like a tiny white bulb. However, when hair breaks, the root is usually missing from the hair strand. Hair loss and breakage often happens when your locks are dry, brittle and unhealthy. So if you have recently started noticing less hair fall and less breakage of hair, it means your hair is on the path to recovery. This is an indication that your hair care routine is working.

6. Stronger hair

Stronger hair is a sign of healthy hair growth and also indicates future growth. As time passes, growing hair strands become active, start gaining volume and grow longer. This new hair growth is stronger. It’s a clear sign that your hair can now initiate new growth.

7. Increased hair length

Need we tell you more about this? Increased hair length is the most obvious sign of new hair growth. As your scalp and hair become healthier and your fine hair starts growing, the length of your hair is definitely going to increase.

8. Manageable hair
