HAIRLOSS & SCALP DISORDERS
Like skin cells, hair grows and is shed regularly. Generally shedding up to 100 hairs per day is considered normal provided a healthy replacement hair comes into effect and the scalp maintains a state of equilibrium. The average rate of growth being approximately 1/2 inch per month, hair growth is strongest between the ages of 15 to 30, declining sharply between 50 and 60 years of age.
Alopecia (al-o-PEE-sha) is the medical term for excessive hair loss or balding. The actual rate of hair loss is hastened by three primary factors: age, heredity and increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within the root system. Medications, over processing of the hair, over all general health, and stress levels are also important contributing factors.
Following the onset of Androgenetic alopecia, the hair shafts become increasingly thinner, shorter, lighter and even transparent in colour. Eventually the root system atrophies with no replacement hair being produced and progressive balding occurs.
