One of the major troubles of recent days with respect to personal care is baldness. Change in hair wash procedures and care for your hair are some of the reasons that have all together resulted in poor health of hair. Earlier, baldness was only a term that initiated in the 60s, but now it begins right in 30s.
Hair is primarily made of protein strands that grow from Follicles. On an average, each of us carry about a lakh of hair in our head. Out of this, about 100 hair strands fall off our head every day. Hair grows for a length of about ½ mm per day. This growth will last for 3 to 7 years on an average. It is the heredity that determines this growth in every individual.
The second phase of hair growth is when the hair starts falling. The third stage is the stage of resting for hair which will last for 2 to 4 months. The cycle will keep repeating and the growth of hair will again kick-start afresh. The hair we carry will be of varied stages of growth.
Androgen hormone and heredity are the two main elements that stand underneath the troubles caused with your hair. As you age, the restarting of growth phase of hair gets delayed. This arrives at one stage when the hair stops its growth.
