Hair loss is a natural process for many of us, but can cause embarrassment and frustration. Our hair growth cycle consists of three phases: the Anagen or the growth phase, the Catagen or the transitional phase and the Telogen or the resting phase. The hair follicle re-enters the growth phase at the end of the Telogen phase, and this is where many hair loss problems might start to occur. Hair loss can be of different types and severities. One type is Alopecia Areata, which appears as hair loss to the scalp associated with "male pattern" baldness.
Hair loss can result from a variety of causes. Frequent exposure of the hair to chemicals and heat can weaken the hair cuticle and cause it to break, resulting in hair loss. Other factors might include family history of hair loss, previous medical history and lack of protein in the diet.
