Hair loss and the secret of preserving and protecting it from falling out
The hair in the scalp reaches an average of 100 thousand hairs to 150 thousand hairs and each hair has a life cycle:
- They begin to grow and continue for a long time.
- The growth rate begins to decrease until the hair length stabilizes.
- The hair separates from the follicle and is replaced by a new hair that begins to grow and so on.
