Hair fall Demystified

Every day, we see so many people coming with hair fall. Some really in advance stages of baldness and some others with barely noticeable hair fall. Though, the incidence of hair fall has been consistently increasing, it would be important to understand that hair fall can never be practically zero. This is because there is a continuous process of replacing the old Shedding phase hair with fresh ones in the Growth – Anagen Phase.

This said, it is important to draw a line as to when the hair fall crosses the normal limits and becomes abnormal and visible. The golden rule is that loss of more than 50-60 hair per day is abnormal and requires intervention. Also a rough guide is if you see hair scattered at various places in home – the bathroom, the bed , the kitchen – then it would be higher than the recommended range and needs to be probed further as to any identifiable cause of it.

Medical treatment of hair fall and also cause some re-growth of the lost hair contrary to what people normally believe cannot happen. Also slightly more hair fall during the process of oiling the scalp and shampooing or massaging is common. This is because some of the hair in the shedding phase might be dislodged from the roots. Remember, these hair that fall would have anyway fallen in a week to 10 days on its own.

So don’t refrain from cleaning and/or oiling your scalp for the fear of losing more hair. In case it is definitely beyond limits – medical therapy is at hand.
