Intro to Effective Treatments for Short Anagen Syndrome: A Comprehensive Guide
We understand the struggles of dealing with Short Anagen Syndrome (SAS). This condition primarily affects children and is characterized by an unusually short hair growth (anagen) phase, leading to increased hair shedding and perpetually short hair. Many children with SAS have never needed a haircut and have had short hair since birth. While SAS often resolves itself after puberty, the wait can feel awful for those experiencing it.
As parents, you know firsthand the emotional toll this condition takes, watching your child face questions, stares, and potential insults about their hair. Although medical professionals often suggest that treatment is unnecessary, we believe helping your child through this formative period is crucial. You can take actionable steps to promote hair growth and manage SAS.
5 Tips for Promoting Hair Growth in Short Anagen Syndrome
1. Eat a Nutrient-Dense Diet
Proper nutrition is fundamental for hair health. Protein is essential for the amino acids that make up keratin. Incorporate lean meats, beans, fish, eggs, dairy, kale, and asparagus into your child’s diet. Vegans should opt for protein sources other than soy, as soy can negatively affect hair growth.
Healthy fats such as those found in coconut oil, olive oil, and flaxseed are necessary for hair structure. Avoid soy oil and refined sugars, and ensure your child gets plenty of fruits and vegetables to supply essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B5, vitamin B12, folate, zinc, and niacin. Inositol, found in nuts, leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, and whole grains, supports scalp health.
2. Avoid Soy, Corn Syrup, and Mercury (These are maybe THE MOST IMPORTANT of all!)
Soy protein can impede hair growth by affecting the body’s capillaries, including those in hair follicles. It’s pervasive in many foods, so read labels carefully to avoid it. Corn products, including derivatives like maltodextrin, disrupt metabolic processes and can detract from hair growth. Mercury, found in certain fish and dental amalgam fillings, also disrupts metabolism. Limit consumption of high-mercury fish like swordfish, king mackerel, orange roughy, tuna, and yellowtail. Yes, even an “innocent” can of tuna!
3. Steer Clear of Harmful Substances in Hair Products (MOST DANGEROUS to anchoring molecules)
Many hair products contain silicones, acrylates, waxes, quaterniums, and plasticizers that can clog hair follicles. These ingredients might make hair look better temporarily but can hinder hair growth over time. Opt for products free from these substances.
4. Use Gentle, Natural, Nourishing Hair Products
Choose chemical-free, natural hair products to nourish the hair and scalp. Be cautious with products labeled as organic, as they might still contain silicone derivatives. The Silicone Derivative AVOID List is a valuable resource that can help you identify and avoid these ingredients.
5. Take Care of Your Scalp
Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. Use gentle, chemical-free shampoos and conditioners. Regularly massage your scalp in a circular motion for about four minutes to increase blood flow to the hair follicles. Applying a natural oil, such as our Belegenza Natural Hair Care’s SpotLite Shine Serum, can moisturize and soothe the scalp. Protect your child’s scalp from sun exposure by using head coverings outdoors.
