Common Hair Problems and How to Treat Them

When do we talk about pathological hair loss or alopecia?

Alopecia is the most common hair growth disorder where over 100-150 hairs are lost daily.

A hair is renewed within the hair follicle, 20-25 times during the person's life.

The Life Phases of Hair

Anagen Phase: Active phase of intense cell proliferation and growth.

90% of hair follicles are normally in this phase.

Its duration is 3-6 years.

Congenital Phase: Variable phase of cessation of mitotic activity.

1% of hair follicles are normally in this phase.

Its duration is 2-3 weeks.
