Hair Growth and Hair Loss in Houston

Hair Growth and Hair LossHair follicles grow from the dermal papilla that receives nutrients from blood flow through the scalp. The growth process of hair involves three stages called anagen, catagen, and telogen. Each stage has different time length and can occur simultaneously.

Some foods high in biotin are wheat bran, peanuts, almonds, salmon, low-fat cheese, avocados, bananas, oats, and raisins.
