July 8, 2008
Hair loss is not a problem unless it is excessive. Although it is normal to shed some hair daily as part of hair growth cycle, some people may experience abnormal hair loss. Excessive hair loss can occur in men, women and children. Excessive hair loss usually starts gradually with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. But then hair loss is becoming a real problem. There are a lot of hair loss causes: many conditions, diseases, and improper hair care can result in excessive hair loss.
Besides female pattern baldness, women sometimes also suffer from sudden hair fall or localized hair loss. In sudden hair loss generalized thinning affects all parts of the scalp of women. It is the most common type of hair loss seen in women. The problem sees thinning of hair and affects all part of the scalp. However in this situation there is no hair fall but only thinning of hair.

A strand of hair is made up of extruded, compacted dead cells. Everything you put into your body eventually comes out in your hair, usually within three to six months.

This is one reason many alternative practitioners look at the quality and quantity of patients’ hair as a valuable diagnostic tool.
But hair itself is only the visible part of the story. Hair grows from living follicles in the skin of the scalp. At the shaft, or root of the hair, all of your major systems are at work, including your circulatory, endocrine and central nervous system. That’s why it hurts when someone pulls your hair!
