Over 40% of women in their 40s and men in their 35s suffer from visible hair loss.
Typically, people lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of the natural balance – some hairs fall out and others grow back. When the balance is disturbed – a small amount of new hair grows in place of the hair that falls out – hair loss occurs.
The medical term for hair loss is “alopecia”. Hair loss can affect just the scalp or the whole body and can be temporary or permanent. It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose the hair on their head, but it is more common in men. Baldness is called excessive hair loss from the scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of balding.
