Hair Loss
Our hair plays a significant part in our appearance as well as protecting us. Each strand is made from a tiny hair follicle located within the dermis layer of the skin. Our hair is constructed from various components which include:
The Papilla supplies all the nutrients to the growing hair.
Located deep within the epidermis is the Bulb, in which the hair follicles grow.
The Root anchors the hair strands to the bulb.
The Strand is the only visible part of the hair, growing in various colours, lengths, and sizes.
Hair plays an important part in our identity and self-image, so when there is a sign of hair loss, it can raise a cause for concern. Whether it's gradual thinning, a receding hairline, or bald patches, the loss of hair can be very distressing and also have an impact on our daily lives. There are many contributing factors to hair loss, which can include stress, underlying medical conditions, and even our genes.
An average person loses 30 - 150 hair strands per day through normal brushing and washing. This isn't noticed as the lost hair is replaced automatically through our body's hair growth cycle creating new follicles of hair each day.
