ABOUT HAIR GROWTH
The human body contains approximately five million hair follicles while the scalp (prior to any kind of hair loss) contains 100,000-150,000 hair follicles. The normal growth rate of scalp hair is one-fourth to one-half inch per month. Understanding hair growth is important in understanding hair loss.
FOLLICULAR UNIT IS COMPRISED OF THE HAIR SHAFT AND THE FOLLICLE OR ROOT. The youthful hair follicle has all the requirements--hormone receptors, diverse cell structure and genetic code-- to produce the hair on your head. Each hair consists of a series of interconnected proteins known as keratins.
Periods of growth (anagen) last between two and eight years and are followed by a brief period, two to four weeks, in which the hair (not the follicle) begins to separate from the follicle (catagen). Metabolic activitgy ceases and the resting phase (telogen) begins lasting two to four months. Shedding of the hair occurs only after the next growth cycle (anagen) begins and a new hair shaft begins to emerge. On average 100 telogen hairs are shed every day. This is normal hair loss and accounts for the hair loss seen every day in the shower and with hair combing. In a healthy scalp, these hairs will regrow.
