The most important takeaway when it comes to hair growth is that it isn’t a continuous process, but instead happens in cycles. It is mainly the duration of these cycles that determines what length the hair can reach. Different types of hair follicle respond to hormones in different ways, and hormonal changes with age appear to be the main drivers of age-related hair loss, though many other sources of hair loss exist.
