There can be a number of reasons for hair loss. These reasons vary between men and women. Research confirms that the loss of 100 hairs or more each day is standard. In fact, it is not unusual to lose up to 150 hairs per day. Hair generally grows in three stages: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Anagen is the energetic stage of hair growth, catagen is when the hair slows down and starts to deteriorate, and telogen is the inactive or dormant stage. Hairs that are discarded each day are frequently in the non-active stage of the hair cycle.

Usually, a small percentage of hair is in the telogen stage at any moment. Hair in this stage is stagnant and is preparing to shed. After the dormant hair sheds, new hair crops up in its place. The standard cycle of hair development is from two to three years. Each strand of hair increases around one-centimeter every month during the growing stage. In effect, nearly ninety-percent of our hair is in the growth stage at any time. Nonetheless, some individuals shed more hair than they should which results in considerable hair loss. Hair loss can affect people of all ages including children and the treatments will vary as well.
