New growth hair refers to the recently emerged strands of hair at the roots. It is a crucial indicator of hair health and can be a valuable asset for styling and aesthetics.
New growth hair is often characterized by a darker or lighter hue compared to the rest of the hair, due to the absence of exposure to environmental factors. Its relevance extends beyond aesthetics, as it can provide insights into hair growth rate, damage, and overall scalp health. Historically, specific hair growth promoting techniques have been employed throughout ancient civilizations, such as the use of rosemary oil in ancient Greece.
