Each hair has its own growth cycle, incorporating three different growth phases. The transition phase takes about 2 weeks. The catagenic phase follows the growing phase and it ends the life of the individual hair. This means that hair growth has ceased and that the individual hair gradually falls off the scalp. New hair growth begins It is possible to affect the growth of hair, like changing the life pattern of other tissues of the human organism.
Many different factors have an influence on the growth, regrowth, and condition of the hair.
The most important of these are age, the hormonal status of the individual, factors affecting blood circulation, stress, hereditary and physical conditions including dietary factors. All absolute details concerning hair growth are still not known. This is why it has been difficult to come up with a final solution to the problem of balding. Although some partial, both chemical and mechanical, solutions exist, no wonder drug or method has as of today been invented. Normal hair loss is 50 -100 strands each day and after a few weeks most hair will regrow from the same follicle.
