Natural Remedies for Hair Loss

There are different causes for hair falling. Most of the women experiences lots of hair loss after delivery, and many men go bald in their middle age. Hair loss or baldness can result from heredity, underlying medical condition, or even certain medications.

Because of hormonal changes, damage or irritation some hair follicles tends to have a shorter growth phase and they produce thinner, shorter hair shafts. The hair goes through a cycle of growth and rest. The course of each cycle would vary with different individuals. However, as a general rule the growth period or phase of a scalp hair, known as anagen, classically lasts 2-3 years.

During this period, the hair grows around1 centimetre a month. Then the resting phase starts. This resting phase is known as telogen. The telogen phase lasts for around 3-4 months. When the resting phase ends, the hair strand would fall out and new one would start to grow in its place, that is, anagen (growth period) begins for this new hair strand.

In normal case most people would shed 50 to 100 hairs, in a day. We have around 100,000 hairs on our scalp, so falling off, say 100 hairs a day wouldn’t cause us to go bald.
