The hair bulb, also known as the hair follicle, is the lower part of the hair rootThe hair bulb, located in the deepest region of the hair follicle, has an onion-like structure and surrounds the dermal papilla, a small, cone-shaped structure containing blood vessels that supply the hair bulb with nutrients and oxygen. The hair bulb plays a crucial role in hair growth, as it contains the cells that divide and form the hair.
The health of the hair follicle is crucial for strong and healthy hair. Factors such as diet, stress, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition can influence the health of the hair follicle and thus hair growth. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports the health of the hair follicle. Products and treatments that stimulate the scalp and promote blood circulation can also have a positive effect on hair growth.
Disruptions in the function of the hair bulb can lead to hair loss and other hair problems. Androgenetic alopeciaHereditary hair loss, also known as ovarian alopecia, is one of the most common causes of hair loss, affecting the hair follicle by shortening the hair growth phase. Other conditions such as Alopecia areata, one Autoimmune disease, which leads to circular hair loss, also directly affect the hair bulb.
Caring for the hair bulb and surrounding structures is essential for maintaining healthy hair growth and overall hair health.
