Understanding Hair Loss Guide

Getting to the Root of Hair Loss

Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually doesn't cause noticeable thinning of scalp hair because new hair is growing in at the same time.

Hair loss occurs when this cycle of hair growth and shedding is disrupted or when the hair follicle is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue.

Does brushing your hair loosen way too many strands from your head? Or do you find clumps of hair clogging up your shower drain?

If you are losing more than 100 strands of hair daily (out of your 100,000 hair follicles), you could be suffering from pattern hair loss.

While hair loss in women is often most obvious in middle age and during menopause, thinning of hair can occur in those who are in their 20s too


The exact cause of hair loss may not be fully understood, but it's usually related to one or more of the following factors:
• Family history (heredity)
• Hormonal changes
• Medical conditions
• Medications
• Age
• Poor nutrition
• Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and lupus
• Stress

Unexplained, excessive hair loss can be worrying and scary. The good news is, there's often a way to fix it.

There is hope!
