Hairloss- a breif description


Everybody wants a full head of hair but sometimes we lose more hair than we grow. Hair loss can alter the way people look at you and damage your self-confidence. Aging, genetics, illness and chemotherapy all contribute to hair loss in men and women. Hair loss is commonly referred to as Alopecia, a condition in which round patches of hair loss is suddenly apparent. The hair growing follicles are attacked by the patients own immune system for unknown causes. This can affect not only the hair found on your scalp but also facial hair.

Men and women normally lose around 50 to 150 strands of hair daily; hair follicles live up to 3 months and hair is continually falling out. This is referred to as the hair renewal system. If the hair follicles stop reproducing, balding begins. Both genders can be affected by premature balding and hair transplants are a permanent solution to restore hair.
