Hair is one of the crucial part of our body that resembles our personality and enhances confidence in all day to day activities.

But one should not blindly opt hair loss treatment surgery in Mumbai without knowing in depth about reasons of hair loss, hair removal treatment, male hair loss and hair transplant.
Let’s initiate with a most basic question.
How does Hair grow?
Our scalp has over 1,00,000 hairs and there is the individual life cycle of each strand. A follicle generates a single hair that increases at a speed of half an inch per month. It is attached to the scalp for 2 to 6 years and then ceases growing for a month and it falls out at the initiation of next cycle. At any given moment always most of our hair strands are in the stage of growth.
The normal hair growth cycle
Before knowing the reason of hair loss it’s important to know in depth about hair growth cycle. The hair follicle (root) is an anatomical structure that produces and extrudes a hair strand. Hair grows in a continuous cyclical pattern of growth, degradation and rest. This is known as Hair growth cycle. Hair growth cycle basically occurs in three phases:-
- Anagen/Growing phase – This phase lasts for a period of 2-6 years and hair grows approximately 1 centimeter per month while this phase.
- Catagen/Degradation phase – This phase lasts for 2-4 weeks and follicle is completely degraded during this phase.
- Telogen/Resting phase – This phase lies for 2-4 months. About 10 percent of hairs at a time are in resting phase. After 3 to 4 months these resting hair falls out and new hair commences to grow in its place. On an average 50 to 100 resting hairs are shed every year and which is normal in life.
Causes of hair loss
At any given time 90% hairs are effectively developing and 10% are in inactive phase. Due course of time these inactive hairs fall down and its follicles inducts developing new hair and other active follicles commences to go in the inactive phase. But it’s a natural phenomenon you can’t tell it as hair loss. Hair loss is a condition in which hair drops out and does not grow back. There are various regions why hair loss takes place.
