Signs your hair loss isn’t normal — and how you can stop it

Experiencing drastic hair shedding when you rinse off your scalp can be frightening and horrible. This can make you immediately go for a hair restoration treatment search. But it is very important to know that how much hair loss is normal before planning to undergo a hair loss treatment.

Normal hair loss

According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, shedding 50-100 strands is perfectly normal and you don’t need to go for any treatment for that.

A hair grows in three phases including growth phase (Anagen), resting phase (Catagen) and Shedding phase (Telogen). Initially, a hair remains in the anagen phase for about 2-5 years before going into resting and shedding phase. During the resting period, the blood supply to the hair follicles becomes limited which as a result makes the hair delicate. In the Telogen phase, the hair is completely disconnected from the hair follicle and sheds off, where it is replaced by new hair from the same hair follicle.

Since the old hair is replaced by a newer one, the overall density of the hair is not disturbed in this case.

Signs that indicate the abnormal hair loss

In the case you are suffering from an underlying medical condition, your hair loss would behave abnormally.

The hair shedding is due to Telogen Effluvium (a hair loss condition) can occur suddenly in response to a stress or trauma. Telogen effluvium disturbs the normal growth cycles of the hair by putting an excessive amount of strands in the Telogen or shedding phase, which triggers drastic hair shedding.

The immune system disorder can also be a reason for excessive shedding. In such a case, the immune system abnormally attacks the healthy cells of the body including hair follicles, which as a result cause hair loss. This type of hair loss condition is known as Alopecia Areata, Platelet Rich plasma is considered the most effective Alopecia Areata treatment in Dubai.
