Most of us take our hair for granted, just like good health and youth. We only realize their worth when they’re gone. For many Individuals, a hair transplant treatment is one of the most reliable ways to bring back hair on their head.

If you’re really worried due to hair loss, thinning or complete balding, then this procedure can help you feel more confident about your looks. However, you can consult the  best hair transplant surgeon in Mumbai  to know about what to expect during and after the treatment.

How Does Hair Grow?

Our scalp has about 100,000 hairs and each strand has its own life cycle. A follicle generates a single hair that develops at a speed of half an inch per month. It remains attached to the scalp for 2 to 6 years and then stops for around a month. At any given moment, most of our hair strands are in the growth phase.

Male Hair Loss

Remember, if the hair loss problem starts around the crown or temple area of your head, then you’re suffering from this condition. A few males will get a single bald spot, while others encounter their hairlines going back to a shape of ‘M’. In a few men, the hairline will keep on receding until all or the majority of the hair has perished.

Genes play a major part in inducing the male pattern baldness. Men who have a close relative suffering from male pattern hair loss are considered to be at a higher risk of getting affected by this condition. The risk increases even more if the relatives are on the maternal side of the family.

The usual pattern of hair loss in men starts at the hairline, which slowly recedes in a backward direction and makes a shape like ‘M’. In the end, the hair becomes thinner, finer and shorter, and makes a U-shape (shape of a horseshoe) pattern of hair at the sides of the head.

Genes and male sex hormones are connected to male pattern hair loss. Male pattern hair loss is identified with your qualities and male sex hormones. It normally takes a pattern of retreating and thinning hairline on the head and is brought by genetics and hormones predisposition.

Follicles are small holes (cavity) in the skin of your head from which every single strand grows. For the most part, male pattern baldness happens when the hair follicle shrinks in size over a period of time, which results in shorter and thinner hair. Inevitably, the follicles cease the process of growing new hair. However, the follicles stay alive, which signifies that it’s still possible to develop new hair.

Male pattern hair loss can start as a teenager also, but generally, it affects the hair growth of adult men. The effects become more severe as the age progresses.

Female Hair Loss

A woman’s hair says a lot about her personality! Long, short, smooth, curly, straight, or bouncy! For most of the females, hair is a lot more than a heap of strands. It’s a symbol of their style and identity. This is the reason why many women freak out when they face hair loss problems.

You need to remember that a female hair loss problem is not limited to men only. Females lose hair the same way males do, whether it’s on a short or long-term. Women usually face the problem of hair thinning and in some cases, the bald spot in the center of their scalp starts becoming wider. Some women might even develop a bald spot at the crown of their scalp. However, a receding front hairline is something which isn’t witnessed by females (except some unique cases).

It’s important to understand the Normal hair growth cycle, before knowing how hair loss occurs. The hair follicle (root) is an anatomical structure that produces & extrude (push out) a hair strand. Hair grows in a continuous cyclical pattern of Growth, Degradation & Rest known as the “Hair growth cycle”. There are three phases of Hair Growth cycle:

  1. Anagen/ Growing phase
  2. Catagen/ Degradation phase
  3. Telogen/ Resting phase

About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. This Anagen (Hair growing) phase lasts for a period of 2-6 years. The hair grows approximately 1 centimetre per month during this phase. This is followed by a brief period of Catagen (degradation) phase, of 2-4 weeks, in which the follicle is almost completely degraded. The Telogen(resting) phase then begins and lasts for 2 to 4 months. About 10 percent of the hair on your scalp, at any one time, is in a resting phase. After 3 to 4 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. On an average, 50-100 resting hair shed every day. This is the Normal hair fall seen in everyday life. These hair will regrow on their own.

A number of factors can affect the Normal hair growth cycle & cause temporary/ Permanent hair loss including Hormonal & nutritional factors, Stress, Thyroid disorder, skin diseases, medications, radiations, exposure to chemicals.

CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS

Generally, in the majority of people, hair grows about a half-inch every month, and more than 90% of their hairs are effectively developing at any given moment. On the other hand, the remaining 10% is in an inactive phase. Following a few months, this inactive hair drops out and its follicles start developing new hair, while the other active follicles start to go into the inactive stage. Remember, hair loss is different from shedding hair. Hair loss is a condition in which a hair drops out and doesn't grow back again.

Humans regularly shed hair during stressful situations, for example, childbirth, failure in life, divorce and other emotionally overwhelming events. Quite often, many people confuse between shedding hair and hair loss.

The medical term for hair loss is Alopecia, which isn’t limited only to scalp. In some cases, balding can be triggered over the entire body due to some illnesses and medications, but genetics account for most of the cases on the scalp.

Hereditary Hair Loss

Hereditary baldness is the most well-known reason for hair loss. It isn’t a disease, but a natural condition brought about by some hormone levels, mixture of genes and the ageing procedure. As age progresses, every man and woman will witness some level of balding. However, more than 45% of males and females will go through a more visible type of problem. Balding usually starts in the late 20s and early 30s, but the changes in women are mostly visible after menopause. The condition is also known as androgenetic alopecia.

Apart from heredity, visible problem of hair loss can be attributed to a wide range of factors, such as:

  • Extremely Rough Hairstyles or Treatments Hairstyles that usually utilize rubber bands, rollers or hair clips, or pull hair to make some tight styles can damage and scar hair follicles.

Some of the diseases that may also trigger this problem are iron deficiency, syphilis, lupus, thyroid disorders or severe infection. A condition known as alopecia areata, results in quick hair loss in different parts of the body.

  • Heavy Medications Cancer chemotherapy, which damages follicles in its effort to eliminate all the fast developing cells in the body, is quite a commonly known reason for hair loss.
