Hair loss

Hair grows individually and continuously.
Rather, each follicle grows in an anagen phase followed by a telogenic phase, the hair is silent and the process begins again.

It is normal to lose hair about 50 a day while the follicles go through a cycle.
However, if the follicle falls to produce new hair after the old ones who have been moving, or if the hair produced is weak and brittle, noticeably thin can be a hair loss.

Usually the loss of medically called alopecia is divided into two categories: healing and non-healing form.
br The healing form tends to be less reversible; It usually results from an infection that causes inflammation around the hair follicle, which eventually leads to replace the follicles with healing tissue.

Non-healing alopecia is the most common hair loss. In this category, androgenic alopecia better known as predominantly masculine pattern calvicie.
In this condition the hair begins to lose weight and goes back from the forehead to the sides of the head. This process often takes many years, usually begins between 30 and 40 years, although this can begin as early as in the mid-20 or in recent years of adolescence.

Some geneticists think it is a male problem, inherited by the mother.
To predict what you would experience, they say: "Look at your maternal grandfather's hair"
Women can develop hormone-related hair loss after menopause, but it can occur during and after pregnancy, all the time when hormonal levels are significantly variable.

However, women generally experience this kind of hair loss although it is not as extensive as in man.
Some people may suffer temporary loss as a result of a serious illness or very high fever.
Alopecia areata is another type of non-healing hair loss. This condition is characterized by the rapid loss of hair patches usually in currency size, normal hair appears around areas.

The cause of this disorder is not known, some scientists think that it can be related to the immune system, hair tends to return at intervals but recurring hair loss is common, these people lose all their hair not only that of the head but alsothat of eyebrows, eyebrows and the rest of the body.
