Know, what are the reasons for your hair fall?
Hair fall is enough to bother anyone. People start to fear that due to hair fall, they may gradually become bald. But every time you break your hair, you do not need to worry. According to the American Hair Loss Association, about 100 hairs are broken every day in the normal hair growth cycle, although if the hair starts breaking more rapidly then it can be a matter of stress.
Most people's hair grows half an inch every month. At any given point of time 90 percent of your hair is growing while 10 percent of the hair is lying in a dormant state. After two or three months, 10% of these hairs break and new hairs start growing in their place. On the other hand, other follicles become dormant.
Hair fall is different from hair loss. When a hair falls from the root and does not grow again, it is called hair loss. People often break their hair in stressful situations.
"But you still feel bad because it takes time to grow hair," says Doris Day, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. It may look like hair loss but hair loss is not.
