Understanding Hair Growth and Loss |
In order to understand how hair thinning and loss occurs, it is important to recognize that the hair cycle can vary from person to person. Hair experiences a life cycle that typically ranges from 3 to 5 years.
People are born with approximately 100,000 hair follicles in their scalp, a number that will remain constant throughout their life. As the hair grows, it goes through what is known as the anagen phase. In this time, the hair will grow in length but the actual size of the shaft remains the same.

Hair Growth Cycle |
This cycle is divided to the following phases
Growing (Anagen) phase - This is the first step and is 90% of the hairs life. This step is 3-5 years long in which the hair keeps growing.
Transitional (Catagen) phase - The hair stops growing, and remains in this phase for two to three weeks before the next phase.
Resting (Telogen) phase - In this phase the hair simply stay on your head for about three months and then falls out. Then the first phase starts and another one will replace it.
