Normal Hair Loss

It is entirely normal to lose hair on a daily basis.  On average, people lose fifty to one hundred hairs every day, and this is considered normal hair loss and is not any sort of problem.  If you brush or wash your hair excessively, the amount of hair lost will rise.  This is also normal. 

We go through phases of hair growth, and about ninety percent of our hair is growing at any given moment.  This growing phase lasts anywhere from two to six years.  The remaining ten percent of hair on the scalp is in the resting phase, which is a phase that last about two or three months.  Once this phase is completed, the hair sheds to make room for new hair. 

Experiencing hair loss to a significantly higher degree is often considered a hair loss problem that can be caused by a number of different reasons.  Causes for excessive hair loss include genetics, hormones, physical conditions, emotional conditions, diet, and medications. 

If you are experiencing hair loss more than what is considered to be normal, it is important to get a professional opinion.  Hair loss can be a side effect to a more important physical or emotional condition that may need attention.  Contact Pistone Hair Restoration for a consultation.
