Hair is our crown and glory. It exudes attractiveness and is also attributed to health. A healthy, shining mane can also identify youth and beauty. However, just as skin changes during the passage of time, so does hair. The luster, color, texture, and diameter will transition and progressively deplete. Consequently, women will flock to salons and beauty product retailers for the quick cure. But when there seems no cure for the women whose hair continues to fallout, where can she turn for answers? Understanding what causes hair loss is the first step to finding a solution.

How Hair Grows. Everyone is born with hair follicles in place. These follicles produce hair. Healthy hair grows on the average of about 1/2 inch per month. The hair cycle, divided in three stages - anagen, catagen and telogen - affect the follicles.

In the first stage, also referred to as the growing phase (anagen), the follicle produces healthy hair. According to Milady (2000), hair can remain growing up to 6 years - depending on hair type, heredity, nutrition, gender, and age.
