Understanding Why You Have Hair Loss

Your hair has a normal pattern of growth that lasts for approximately 2 to 6 years. Each individual hair on your head grows approximately 1 centimeter (cm) each month during this growth period. Not all of the hair on your head is in a “growth period”. Some hairs are in a “resting period”. After resting for about 2 to 3 months the resting hair falls out. This is why when your hair is healthy you still experience loss of hair, which can be observed on your hairbrush or in the shower drain. You can see this normal hair loss on a daily basis and have it be a normal occurrence. However excessive hair loss can occur in children, teens, men and women. It is difficult to understand why you may have hair loss and not others around you. This article should help you to better understand the causes for unusual hair loss.
