tricomin and limited hair cycles

[30_going_on_60]

If we only have a limited number of hair cycles. 20-40.....and using tricomin speeds up these cycles so there's less resting phase (in a simplified manner.) Doesn't it stand to reason that tricomin actually speeds up hair loss? Even though it may look better for awhile? I'd rather go for longevity over quality. Advice.

In theory, any hairloss meds make the same situation when they try to grow new hairs, not only tricomin....
In my opinion is not a good idea use products during long time due to the limited number of hair cycles.

Hold on a minute, are you guys saying we only have 20-40 hair cycles in our lifetime before it stops growing?

Not only cells of hair but all of them in our body have a limited numbers of cycles

Hi hairchase;
"by the way, even if your theory were true, you do realize the healthier your hair is, the longer its cycle is. So technically it would be in your best interest to use the products to make the hair as healthy as possible so that it goes through less cycles over a given period of time. "

Exactly; the limited numbar of clycles of cells in hair, the same for all types our cells btw, It has nothing to do with his duraction and, they are typically designed to last a lifetime.
Please do some research, before you post.

I'm not sure about this limited hair cycle theory.
The number of hair cycles can be increased with minoxidil, finasteride and other hair loss medication, otherwise people would never see any regrowth, and this makes the limited hair cycle theory completly void.
A hair follicle sensitive to DHT will progressively shrink until it becomes a vellus hair, but it can happen in three years (some people get bald only a few years after they hit puberty, has their hair experienced 20 hair cycles in such a short time ? Of course not).
A healthy hair grows, a not so healthy hair does not.
The anagen phase of a healthy hair follicle lasts 3-4 years, so a new hair will sprout approximately every 4 years. We supposedly have 25 hair cycles, making it enough for a lifetime, but we can only imagine it works like that. I haven't seen any study proving that after 25 hair cycles, hair growth suddenly stops, 25 is an approximation, it can be 5, it can be 50, the only limit is when the hair follicle is not healthy enough to produce a new hair.

In short, 25 hair cycles is the right amout we should have for our hair to last a lifetime, not the ACTUAL number of cycles everyone has.
