Now a days generally hair
loss problems are coming because the bad nutrition, results to the falling of
hair from scalp. Secondly genetics plays a vital role in this condition that
afflicts both men and women, there are several other factors that are involved
in bringing on this problem in people. In order to understand the reasons for
hair fall better, it is essential that you learn about the various growth
stages of hair. The hair growth cycle consists of the following three phases:
§ The first phase is the anagen phase, which is
an active phase in which the hair grows. This phase lasts for around 2-7 yrs.
§ The second phase is the catagen phase. The
catagen phase immediately follows the anagen phase and lasts for around 10- 14
days during which the hair stops getting blood supply and becomes dead.
§ The third and the last phase is telogen phase,
which is a resting phase. In this phase, the dead hair falls out and the hair
follicles remain in rest or inactive stage for about 2-3 months.
After completion of
last stage, the entire cycle is repeated. Each single hair undergoes these
three phases of growth independent of the other hair on the scalp. Normally, at
a given point of time about 90% of hair is in the anagen phase and only 10% is
in the telogen phase. When this ratio is altered, it leads to increased rate of
hair loss. Hair loss can occur at any age, and can be prevalent in both males
and females. Hair loss in itself is not a disease, but a sign that often
indicates various other diseases. Hair loss occurs as a result of various
diseases or factors and in different patterns.
