Generally, human shed between 50 and 100 hairs per day. It is usually not noticeable as new hair grows at the same time. Hair loss (alopecia) happens when new hair does not replace the fallen out hair. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary with aging. Hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, excessive hair styling are other common cause of hair loss.
There are three cycles of hair growth: - anagen phase (growing phase), catagen phase (transition phase) and telogen phase (resting phase). Anagen phase last from 2-8 years, Catagen phase last about 2-3 weeks and Telogen phase takes about 2-4 months. At the end of telogen phase, the hair falls out. Eyelashes, eyebrows, arm and leg hairs have shorter anagen phase (about 1 month).
Hair loss can be divided into non-scarring and scarring. Non scarring hair loss are more common, such as male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. Disease such as lichen planus and some types of lupus can cause permanent hair loss due to the scarring.
Seeking early treatment would have a better chance of hair recovery. If treatment is delayed, the hair follicle will shrink and no new hair will be able to grow and less chances to be able to recover the lost hair follicles.
