Hair Cycles

Your hair grows in cycles. These cycles can last anywhere from 2-3 years. During the growth cycle, your hair only grows about ½ an inch per month. Ninety percent of your hair is growing at a time, while the other ten percent is at rest. After a few months, the resting hair falls out, but new hair grows in its place. It is normal to lose some hair every day, actually about 50-100 hairs are lost daily, but excessive hair loss is not normal.

Hair Loss Is Normal

Any number of things can cause hair loss. Hormonal changes can cause what is known as Pattern Baldness, or androgenetic alopecial, in both males and females. In this condition, the time of regrowth is shorter, and the hair that does grow in is not as strong, so it can fall out easily. This condition is typically hereditary. Other causes of hair loss include various skin conditions, poor nutrition, medication, disease, medical treatments, and hormonal changes.

Treatments For Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth

There are treatments to help stop hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Hair Regrowth Shampoo by Perfect Image Solutions is one product to try. It contains ingredients such as saw palmetto extract, emu oil, biotin, caffeine, and horsetail extract. It boasts that it can help “decrease the amount of hair shed on the scalp and increase the absorption rate of our topical Minoxidil products”. Minoxidil, also known as Rogaine, has been known to stop hair loss and promote the regrowth of hair for years. It was once thought only beneficial for men, but women can also benefit from the use of Minoxidil. Another product to try is Energising Shampoo with Aminexil by Vichy Dercos. Aminexil is known to lessen the hardening of the hair follicle which allows the hair to grow more freely, and it increases the life span of the hair so it does not fall out too soon.

Most people assume that when hair loss occurs, nothing can be done about it. Hair loss does not have to be permanent. With the proper products, you can see less hair in your comb and more hair on your scalp.

Here’s a quick recap of the products to try:

• Revita High Performance Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo Hair Regrowth Treatments by D.S. Laboratories
• Energising Shampoo with Aminexil by Vichy Dercos
• Rogaine for Men Hair Regrowth Treatment
