What causes hair loss?

Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss, and it has many different causes. Normal human hairs can be classified according to their phases of growth.
Anagen is the growing stage of hair, while telogen is the sleeping stage of hair.

Around 80 percent of the hairs in the human scalp are growing hairs and about 20 percent of them are sleeping hairs.

It has also been estimated that the scalp normally contains about 100,000 hairs. Therefore, the average number of hairs that can be lost in a day is about 100.

Contrary to popular belief, neither shaving nor hormonal changes, such as menstruation, has any effect upon hair growth.
