Hair Fall
What is Hair Fall or Hair Loss?
Hair fall, also known as hair loss, refers to the condition where an individual experiences excessive shedding of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. While it’s normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs daily, a noticeable increase in hair loss can be a cause for concern. Hair loss may lead to thinning hair or bald patches, which can negatively impact a person’s confidence and self-esteem. Multiple factors contribute to hair fall, and identifying the underlying cause is key to implementing effective treatments to restore healthy hair growth.
Each hair follicle goes through a unique life cycle that can be influenced by factors like age, illness, and other external factors. This life cycle consists of three stages:
- Anagen: The active growth phase, which typically lasts between 2 to 8 years.
- Catagen: The transitional phase, lasting 2 to 3 weeks.
- Telogen: This Phase lasts about 2 to 3 months. At the end of this phase, the shed hair is replaced by new hair, and the growth cycle begins again.
Types of Hair Fall
Here are some common types of hair loss:

Various factors can contribute to hair fall, and understanding them is key to finding the right treatment. Common causes include:
