    Glossary Hair Shaft Elongation

    process of hair growing longer from the scalp

    Hair Shaft Elongation refers to the process by which the visible part of the hair, known as the hair shaft, grows longer. This occurs as cells in the hair follicle divide and push the older cells upward, causing the hair to extend out from the scalp. This process is influenced by various factors including genetics, nutrition, and overall health.
