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.
