The Stages of Hair loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term hair loss, as already known, is a more commonly used term than its medical condition called Alopecia<\/a>. This medical condition is caused due to some disruption in the hair production cycle of our body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 phases in which this hair growth cycle functions within the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  Anagen Phase<\/strong> – This is the first phase of the cycle in which the hair keeps growing. 

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Catagen Phase<\/strong> – this is the 2nd phase lasting for almost ten days. Where the growth of hair ceases, and there is a separation between the hair and the hair follicle that holds it into place. 

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Telogen Phase<\/strong> – this is the 3rd and the last phase in the cycle where the follicle stops its hair’s growth for around 2-3 months, and then the hair sheds off. After the Telogen phase, the cycle begins again from the Anagen phase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hair growth cycle is a natural and daily occurring one. The average amount of hair fall that a person may experience every day is generally 50-100 hair. The problem here is not hair loss<\/a>, but it arises when the lost hair cannot grow back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now this hair loss and the hair growth cycle are affected by many factors such as hormonal imbalance, physical factors, genetics<\/a>, unhealthy lifestyle<\/a>, food consumption, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
