Excessive Hair Loss and Katy Hair Loss Treatments
The hair undergoes three stages of cycle – the anagen, the catagen and the telogen. The anagen phase, of which 85-90 % of our hair is on, is he growing stage of the hair and determines to what extent your hair could grow. This phase could last from 2-5 years depending on the person. The next part of the cycle is in the catagen where the hair is already starting to regress. On an average, only one percent of the hair is in this phase. This phase serves as a transition period between the two stages and usually lasts for two weeks or so. Lastly, the telogen phase. It is at the telogen phase that the hair is already just resting on your body and is about to fall anytime soon. This lasts for about three to four months and ten to fifteen percent of the hair is in this part of the whole cycle. The normal number of hair you lose everyday would depend on the duration of the combined anagen + catagen + telogen phases or the whole cyclical process that the hair undergoes.
Another thing that a person should consider is the density of hair. In order for a person to say that he/she is already having excessive hair loss, he/she should first examine how dense his/her hair is because the anagen cycle tends to be shorter in people with very dense hair. Thus, it goes without saying that the more dense hair is, the more number of hair you lose.
