Hair Loss

About 90 percent of hair on the scalp grows continually (anagen phase). The other 10 percent of scalp hair is in a resting phase that lasts two to three months (telogen phase). At the end of the resting phase, this hair is shed.

Your hair loss may have started with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. Anyone — men, women and children — can experience hair loss. When a hair is shed, it is replaced by a new hair from the same follicle and the growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month. Hair loss 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.
