Is It Normal To Lose Some Amount of Hair Everyday?
Hair plays an important part of an individual’s persona especially women perceive hair as a sign of beauty. But if you notice loose hair during shower or while combing, it engenders a great deal of concern for both men and women. Scientifically, loosing some amount of hair on a daily basis is the part of the normal hair growth cycle. But when the hair loss occurs in a specific pattern, it requires a proper attention to prevent its further progression. Androgenic alopecia is the common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men specifically, it is known as male pattern baldness. In order to understand the causes behind this type hair loss, it is essential to first learn about the anatomy of the hair and its growth cycle.
- What is the normal hair growth cycle?
Every strand of hair grows from a sac-like structure, follicle, in the scalp. An average person is known to have about 100,000 hair follicles. There are three distinct stages of normal hair growth cycle, which include growth stage, resting stage and shedding stage. During the growth stage, the hair grows to its maximum length. This phase lasts about 3-5 years. The involvement of hair follicles in this stage is almost 90%. Secondly in the resting phase, for about two four months, the length of the hair remains constant. Lastly in the shedding phase, the hairs begin to shed to let new hairs grow in their places. It is the shortest stage of normal hair growth cycle. Therefore, it is totally normal to lose some of amount of hair on a daily basis. But if the hair loss follows a certain pattern with the appearance of bald patches, it becomes a matter of concern. Now that we have a clear picture of how the hair growth takes place, we can now tap into the probably cause of hair loss.
- Causes of hair loss
The main causes of hair loss can be hormonal or genetic in nature. In men, hormonally, the hair follicles can become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (a hormone converted from testosterone by an enzyme). Due to this reason, the hair follicles shrink in their sizes to the extent that they are unable to hold hair and even grow new hair. This results in a pattern of hair loss that causes appearance of receding hairline on the temple of the head. At the same time, bald patches appear on the crown of the head. Finally, the receding hairline and the bald patches join together to form a horseshoe-shaped ring of hair on the both sides of the head. The appearance of baldness can be in patches or in uniform manner.
In females, the prime causes of hair loss include ageing, genes, or hormones. In female pattern of hair loss, the thinning of hair occurs mainly from the top and the crown of the head. The hair thinning usually widens through the centre part of the head.
