A human head, on average, has 100,000 strands of hair made of a tough protein—keratin. Every strand grows out of a hair follicle, a tiny saclike structure, which keeps it anchored to the scalp. Around the follicle is a hair bulb that has living cells that reproduce and make new hair cells. These hair cells are at the root of the hair and they build up the hair shaft, making it grow. This hair shaft is the visible part of a strand, made up of dead cells. Blood vessels in the scalp deliver nutrients to the cells in the hair bulb. These nutrients, along with hormones, determine the hair structure and growth.
What causes hair fall?
Every strand of hair drops off at the end of its life cycle which typically lasts around six years. At 50 to 70 strands in a day, that barely makes a visible difference on an average adult head with around 100,000 strands. However, if you lose hair faster than new strands emerge, you may want to look deeper. Several factors can cause hair loss:
- stress
- illness
- hormonal changes
- post-pregnancy
- metabolic disorders
- anaemia
- zinc deficiency
- genetic factors
- family history
- physical injury
- infections
- collagen diseases
- congenital defects
Hair & Scalp quality also gets affected by our lifestyle in this region. Regular blow-drys, colour, treatment such as Keratin, straightening and perms deplete natural oils, leaving hair dry, brittle and in need of more care to ensure our locks don’t lose their lustre.
