Hair grows from hair follicle which is a part of skin. Hair follicle has other associated structure like small muscle called ‘arrector pili’, sebaceous glands (which secrete sebum) and apocrine sweat glands.
Phase of hair growth are:
- Anagen- It is the growing phase, where hair grows at approximate speed of 1 cm a month.
- Catagen- It is the regressing phase. There is arrest of active growth of hair follicle.
- Telogen- It is the resting phase. At this stage hair falls. Normally, up to hundred hairs may fall per day.
90% hair follicles are in anagen phase. It may take 3-4 months for a hair cycle to complete in case of scalp hair. Loss of more than 100 - 150 hair a day can be clinically called hair loss and termed as 'telogen effluvium'.
Disruption of this cycle causes loss of more hair than the number of hair growths. This causes thinning of hair. In males, most common Hair Fall is male pattern hair loss.
