We are often the first ones to notice our own hair-loss. Whether on the pillows where we lay our head, during a shower or while we run a comb though our head – when we notice an alarming amount of hair fall, we all tend to panic.

It is natural for a person to lose some scalp hair every day. In fact, a count of 50 is considered normal! This happens because our hair grows in different phases:

Anagen Phase – When Active Growth occurs

Catagen Phase – A gradual regression in growth

Telogen Phase – Resting stage for the follicle

 

This is the main reason why shedding of hair is a normal process.

The problem occurs when your hair fall count goes up to 100 and you start noticing bald spots. Men & women both lose hair due to various hormonal, genetic & environment factors.

 

Here are some of the main reasons why men lose hair:

Androgenic Alopecia is quite common in men. It is caused when DHT – short for dihydrotestosterone, clogs up in blood capillaries that provide nourishment to hair follicles. The DHT creates a blockade that miniaturises the hair follicle, thus stopping hair growth altogether.

Androgenic areata & telogen effluvium are also conditions that can lead to massive hair loss!

Women too can suffer from female pattern baldness, due to hormonal imbalance, genetic factors or from the side-effects of medication.
