Knowledge About Hair Growth

female pattern baldness

Knowledge about hair growth can help in preventing hair loss. Hair loss treatment also becomes easier with the right information. Hair follicles from which hair grows are attached to sebaceous glands. Both the sebaceous glands and the follicles lie under the skin. Thinning hair and baldness happen when the sebaceous glands do not stimulate hair follicle growth; therefore, for optimal results, these glands should be healthy.

A healthy human head carries about 100,000 hairs and it is also normal to shed around 50-100 hairs in a day. This type of hairloss is absolutely normal. Hair follicles are capable of hair regrowth innumerable times, and on average, a human hair grows by .04 centimeters a day. Growth is affected by seasonal changes, dietary factors, stress and heredity. Hair loss and baldness happens when the follicles do not grow hair at the rate that they should, or stop growing hair altogether.

Human beings are prone to lose more hair during certain seasons. Hair growth is more prevalent during the winter, which also means that hair loss is less likely to happen at this time. Normally, a person loses nearly 100 hair strands daily and is easily made up by the hair regrowth mechanism of hair follicles. Anything more should be a cause for concern. Both male and female pattern baldness is usually caused by hormonal imbalance in the body.

Experts make a two pronged approach in treating hair loss and stimulating hair growth. One targets the scalp because an inflamed scalp can cause hair loss. Hair loss treatments include applications of oils and creams, and even specially prepared chemical solutions. Secondly, another approach involves improving nutrition, improving blood circulation to the scalp, and purifying the blood etc. Both approaches have their place in promoting the growth of the hair. Both of the approaches are used simultaneously to achieve optimum results.
