How does hair fall out?
Hair loss is characterized by the fact that old hair falls off, and the growth of new ones either slows down or stops altogether. The saddest option is when most of the strands fall out at once, and large bald patches form on the head. We all know that throughout a person's life, hair is constantly updated. This process is as follows: each hair on our head grows for approximately three years, after which it stays in place for a certain amount of time and falls out. After that, after twenty to thirty days, a new hair erupts from the old follicle. And this renewal process is constant, scientists have found that 90% of the hair is constantly at the growth stage, the remaining 10% are either at rest or have already fallen out and new ones will soon begin to grow in their place. The rate of hair loss per day - 100 pcs. This number can deviate both positively and negatively. If this process goes unnoticed, then hair falls out at a normal rate. If the amount of hair left on the comb begins to inspire concern, you should simply count, if more than ten hairs fall out in one combing, it is time to consult a trichologist.
