Treatment of hair loss

Your hair goes through a cycle of growth and rest.The course of each cycle varies by individual.But ingeneral,the growth phase of scalp hair,known as anagen,typically lasts two to three years.During this time,your hair grows about 1 centimeter(just less than half inch) a month.The resting phase is called telogen.This phase typically lasts three to four months.At the end of the resting phase,the hair strand falls out and a new one begins to grow in its place.Once a hair is shed,the growth stage begins again.
Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day.But with about 100,000 hairs in the scalp,this amount of hair loss shouldn't cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair.
General thinning is a normal part of aging.However hairloss may lead to baldness when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth,when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when hair comes out in patches.
