What are the different stages of the hair growth cycle?
- Anagen phase
The anagen phase is the hair growth phase and around 90% of hair are in this stage.
- Exogen phase
The Exogen phase is the stage when new hair shafts will push the old ones and dead shafts will come out. The old hair will fall out.
- End of the anagen phase
New hair follicles come out deep from the layer and then they will grow.
- Catagen phase
Around 2/3rd of the follicles will get destroyed in this stage.
- Telogen phase
During the telogen phase, the follicles are in the resting stage. Once they get the signal the entire hair growth process will start again.
What are the common hair loss problems?
Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is also known as male pattern baldness. In this, the hair loss occurs in the M-shape which occurs on the top of the scalp. It occurs due to the by-product of testosterone which is known as DHT. Both in men and women, the problem of hair loss happens similarly. Although, the hair follicles on the back and side of the scalp are not affected.
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium results in increased hair loss, which gets in excess. In such cases, many of the hair follicles enter the exogen stage at one time. In this type of hair loss, many of your hair follicles will enter the exogen stage.
Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Cancer cells grow all over the body. The patients are benefited through chemo sessions as the cancer cells are killed. During the chemo treatment, the hair follicles go into the catagen phase of the hair cycle. With time, they do not develop properly and the hair will fall out.
Alopecia Areata
Sometimes, our immune system starts attacking the body instead of protecting it. With hair loss, this autoimmune condition is referred to as alopecia areata. During this phase, the hair will break and then fall out, which is triggered in the form of patches. Due to this condition, hair loss also occurs permanently.
Advanced and improved hair loss treatment
All in all, the hair loss issue can be dealt with hair transplant treatment. Under this condition, the hair follicles are transplanted one by one from the back of the scalp and then transplanted to where hair growth is less.
