Hair Loss

It is not a secret that there is a regular cycle for hair growth, which consists of two phases – anagen and telogen. In anagen phase, which lasts about 6 years, the hair is growing, but in telogen phase, which lasts about 3 months, the hair is resting and at the end of the phase the hair falls out and it is replaced with the new hair. Everyone should know, that a person normally loses about 100 hairs every day, but in cases of some diseases or other health problems the number of lost hair may increase. For men hair loss starts at the top of the head, but for women it starts from all the head, causing so called thinning of hair.

Some people have over-production of this oil, which makes their hair greasy – greasy hair look dull, lifeless, limp and are more difficult to manage than other hair problems. People which such hair problems have to wash their hair every day to get rid of this extra oil and to make their hair good-looking, but unfortunately even regular hair washing can also not ensure the desired look, causing socialization problems.
