Hair Life Cycle and How Many Hair Falls is “Normal”

How do you know that the falling hairs are natural phenomenon or the sign of baldness?  It is not possible at all when you are not home.  Most people will not keep counting the hairs fall and that life will be so stressful to keep worried about hair falls.  Don’t just wonder; check it out now what is your hair life span and how many falls per day can lead to baldness.

New hair will grow very vicious cycle like a tree. Hair lifespan is about 3 years before it will be taken to stop the growth phase.  Technically, there are 3 periods of hair growth, Anagen, Catagen and Telogen.  They are defined by age, food intake, hormones and heredity.  Growing period will be shorter when we get older and the rate of loss per day will be more.
When we are in the Telogen, hair will stop growing and do not grow longer again.  But don’t worry, hair cells will return to the Anagen phase.  Then either brush or shampoo hair will not cause more hair loss because it is ready to fall.  This is natural.  We do not have to worry though your hair is falling every day. 

We have about 100,000 hairs on the head and they are likely to fall every day.

But normally hair should not fall over 100 lines per day.

Many men begin to bald at the age of 30.  In men case, the reason of hair loss or baldness may be heredity.  Anyway, that will be a bit different in women.  Women will not normally get bald look at the same way of baldness in men.  Many young ladies prefer to call it the thinner hairs.  

Hair of the men with bald inherited condition in Anagen period will be gradually smaller, thinner and shorter.  Hair does not fall more than normal. But the density of the hair is less. 

Hereditary hair loss is influenced by androgen, which is a hormone found in men. Why his hormone action on the hair follicle may be because the hair follicle is sensitive to androgen.  This hair disorder is found in both females and males. However, we can see a receding hairline or baldness in men more than women.


It is unfortunate that there is no permanent remedy right now.  Then, integrative medicines become more interesting solution for hair loss.  Either alternative treatment like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicines, Herbal remedy for hair loss and so on can effect on hair improvement.  But it is recommended to consult your doctors to find out the underlying cause of hair loss before integrating all medicines or herbs with the current medicine to rule out if they may interact or side effects.  Perhaps, you may see that just changing lifestyle and medication can stop hair loss.
