Every being experiences hair fall at any age, in
his/her life. Losing hair and re-growing is a part of regularly cycle and about
10% of your hair is in shedding or growing phase all the time. Losing
hair is normal but when you start noticing thinning
or bald patches, then it’s the time to visit some hair expert like Dr. Prashant
Yadav (M.S., MC.H.). Before that you need to do some home-work on this like-
searching more and more about the condition-symptoms-prevention-cure. This will
help you to go through a successful consultation with your doctor.
There are different stages of hair loss, one need
to understand to get familiar with the growth cycle:
Hair growth cycle
There are three phases of hair growth pattern for
almost everyone:
·
Anagen: this is the
first stage of hair growth, in this under the scalp the hair follicle begins to
enlarge and grow deeper itself into the scalp. Hair bulb forms at the bottom
and the dermal papillae (connective tissues) get attached to the hair follicle
providing nourishment, to let hair grow like a vein. The hair shaft starts to
grow upward and out from the scalp, and if any old hair is present the new
shaft pushes it up and out. It begins to grow more upward through the follicle,
and appears a normal hair strand.
·
Catagen: this is the
second phase in hair growth after Anagen phase, it’s the resting phase where
hair doesn’t grow anymore while staying connected to the follicle. The follicle
now loosely grasps the hair shaft, and the strand of hair can be easily shed
through normal activity.
·
Telogen: the third
phase in hair growth cycle after Catagen, the club hairs (A club hair is a hair
that has matured and no longer has access to the blood supply because there is
no longer a need to grow) reaches the end of the epidermis and the hair strands
fall out while combing/brushing and washing. This is an inevitable phase for
each strand of hair, it gives space to Anagen phase to begin again.
When to see a hair specialist?
All the three stages never stop as its the hair growth
cycle, losing hair in the last stage is quite very normal, but there are people
