Hair Loss Facts
• Adult men have about 130,000 scalp hairs and women about 150,000.
• Every day about 50 hairs die and are substituted by new ones, since the follicles have synchronized growth cycles at any one time.
The most common types of hair loss are:
Telogen Effluvium: temporary and excessive hair loss due to emotional stress, medication, change in the seasons, unbalanced diets, smoking, childbirth.
Androgenetic Alopecia: A slow and progressive hair thinning due to androgenetic hormones and hereditary factors.
