Understanding Normal Hair Loss
Before having a look at the term "normal hair loss" we should
have a look at "hair" in general. An average head consists of
100,000 to 150,000 hair, which grows ½ an inch every month. Hair
is growing due to rapid cell division at the base of the
follicle and gets pigmented when it is pushed upwards out of the
follicle.
Normal hair loss or alopecia, is a part of the natural hair life
cycle. Normal hair loss is caused by genetic factors, androgens
and age. Other factors include general bad health, side effects
of medications, and skin diseases.
Hair loss may result from heredity. Millions of men, women and
children are confronted with hair loss due to heredity. It is
important to know that every day an individual sheds 100 to 300
hairs daily as a natural process. Each and every hair undergoes
the hair growth cycle before normal hair loss occurs. The normal
growth cycle consists of three stages:, · Anagen stage · Catagen
stage · Telogen stage
Anagen stage hair will stay in this phase for two to four years.
Each hair will grow 15 cm per year.
Catagen phase In this transition phase, the hair spends two to
four weeks.
Telogen phase The telogen phase is also called the resting
phase. This phase lasts about three months allowing the
hair to
detach itself prior to falling out.
In case of normal hair loss, there is no need to panic. But if
there is an excessive hair loss, it should immediately be
discussed with your physician. Treatments that are available
depend on the type of hair loss. Sometimes correcting hormone
imbalance may prevent further hair loss. Rogaine (Minoxidil)
will help to correct common baldness An individual will lose 100
hair per day and hair rubbing, too much brushing or excessive
washing may result in an increase of hair loss. Losing 100 hair
per day is conisdered absolutely normal! Normal hair loss may
increase as age advances. Male pattern baldness is a normal hair
loss, which is genetically predetermined. In case if you are an
individual of above 30 years and you begin to lose scalp hair,
then the chances are 95% that it is normal hair loss.
