Healthy Hair is considered as sign of youth. Loss of hair is perceived as low self-esteem and low confidence. Dermatologists are true Trichologists who examine your hair and along with appropriate history provide right diagnosis and right treatment. Do not fall prey to non-scientific treatments.
Average adult contains around 1.00.000 hair on scalp. There are four phases in hair growth cycle. During first three phases anagen catagen and telogen hair grows and matures and rests and last phase of exogen old hair sheds and replaced with new hair.
Anagen: It is active phase of hair.80 to 90 % of hair are in anagen phase. Cells in the hair follicle are multiplying rapidly. A new hair is formed and it replaces the old hair. Person’s length of hair will depend on this phase. It usually lasts from 2 to 5 years. Rate of growth of scalp hair is usually 1 cm per month.
Catagen: The catagen phase is a transitional stage and about 8 to 9 % of all hairs are in this phase at any time. This phase lasts for about two to three weeks. Growth of hair stops and club hair is formed.
Telogen: Telogen is the resting phase and usually accounts for 1% of all hairs. This phase lasts for about 3 months for hairs on the scalp and longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm, and leg. During this phase, the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. New hair starts growing and it pushes club hair to shed.
About 25 to 100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day. There are so many causes of hair fall.
