Van Clarke pointed out the effect of this aging process: If you were to weigh one inch of end hair it would weigh less than one inch of the same hair at the root.
“Hair grows half an inch per month,” he explained. “This rate is surprisingly consistent across ages and cultures. Many people struggle to grow their hair and think it stops growing. Usually the hair is aging too quickly, so while it is still growing at the root, it is disintegrating at the ends and not getting any longer.”
3MI joins a growing force of hair products focused on anti-aging haircare. Recent launches in this new category include Finesse Revitality and Redken Time Reset, along with Age Premium Densitive Dietary Supplements from Kérastase.
Priced from $20 to $35 each, the 3MI products don’t actually make the hair grow faster, but they claim to keep hair at its root quality. Meaning, unless you have an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, the hair at its roots is the best quality you’re going to have, so maintaining this texture and thickness is the goal.
“The 3MI products contain select conditioning agents, proteins and amino acids from cashmere,” Van Clarke added. “These are virtually identical to the structure of human hair and are able to penetrate deeper and fill in the gaps in the hair structure. This helps maintain correct moisture balance, keeping hair more supple. The hair stays thicker for longer in a natural way.”
