At full maturity, the human scalp maintains an average of 100,000 hair follicles. At any given moment, about 90 percent of these follicles are in the anagen, or growing phase.During this phase, which lasts between two and six years depending on genetic factors and age, hair grows approximately a half-inch each month.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men & Women

As the end of the anagen phase approaches, the follicle enters a transitional period called catagen, during which it begins to shrink and become dormant. During this catagen phase, which lasts a few days, the hair remains intact. When the hair's growth stops, the follicle enters the telogen, or resting phase, which lasts approximately three months. Shedding occurs during this phase when the root of the hair, which is held in place by the contracted follicles, is pulled loose by brushing or shampooing. These are often the hairs that we find in our sinks and hairbrushes.

At the end of the telogen phase, the follicle spontaneously reenters the anagen phase and new emerging hair begins to grow.Most individuals shed between 50 and 100 hairs each day. This hairloss does not have a negative effect on a person's appearance because simultaneously, between 50 and 100 hairs enter the growing phase.

Excessive daily shedding may either be caused by some contributing factor. When all aspects of person's life are in harmony, the balance between telogen and anagen usually remains stable.
