Hair growth stages

Hair loss is due to a clinical process in which the growth phase (anagen phase), the transitional phase (catagenic phase) and the resting phase (telogen phase) cause the hair to fall out. When this happens a new hair is already present in the hair follicle, so the process starts all over again. The growth phase on the scalp lasts 4 to 6 years with a growth rate of 0,35 mm to 1 cm per month. The transitional phase lasts about two weeks and the resting phase about four months. On average an adult loses about 50 to 100 hairs per 24 hours. If you find accumulations of hair in your comb or in the shower drain than you are dealing with excess hair loss.
