Hair Growth Cycle
In order to help you understand a bit more about how hair growth works, we can break down the stages of growth and hair shedding into 4 main phases.
Anagen
Growth Phase
This is the active growing phase which will last between 2-7 years. The longer this phase lasts the longer and thicker hair tends to grow.
Catagen
Transition Phase
This phase lasts for only 1-2 weeks and is the time when the hair bulb/root shrinks, detaching itself from the dermal papilla.
Telogen
Resting Phase
Lasting from 2-3 months, about 10-15% of all hairs are designed to be at this phase at any given time. They stay in the follicle but do not grow.
Exogen
New Hair Growth
This phase allows for shedding of the old hair and growing of new ones from deep in the follicle. Normal hair shedding of 100-150 hairs per day will occur because of the follicles in this phase.

So, you think you are losing your hair. What should you do first?
There are a few types of hair loss which are quite rare, and we don’t commonly see clients with these issues. What we do see most often is the individual genetic predisposition to balding, otherwise known as androgenic alopecia.
Androgenic Alopecia:
If you’re experiencing the effects of hereditary hair loss you may not understand what the reasons behind it are. There are plenty of myths circulating about causes of hair loss and often, suggested causes are incorrect. One such example is the claim that brushing the hair too much or wearing a hat consistently will cause baldness. That is completely false, so you can relax and wear a hat, or not. It won’t accelerate your hair loss in any way. The hairs that fall out when rubbing the scalp, washing the hair, brushing or wearing hats, are hairs that were set/programmed to fall out regardless. Unless you are physically, painfully pulling out all of your hair, that’s not why you’re are going bald. Instead, hormones called androgens, specifically one called dihydrotestosterone,(DHT) helps to regulate hair growth and sex drive. Increased androgen levels in the hair follicles will shorten the important growth phase of the hair cycle and impair growth so that thinner hairs replace the old ones.
Testosterone – Key Factor
The hormone, Testosterone is a key factor for baldness, but it’s not the Testosterone itself which causes hair to fall out. DHT is a derivative of Testosterone. 5 alpha reductase (5-AR) is an enzyme which converts Testosterone to DHT and if levels of 5-AR increase, or more testosterone is converted, more hair will fall out. The important thing to understand about this unfortunate chain of events is that it’s effects are permanent and progressive. Unfortunately, there is no cure for baldness in this sense, however incredible breakthroughs have allowed for options to stop hair loss, halt the progression and even grow hair back with medications like Rogaine. As well, permanent hair restoration surgery is easier and more natural-looking than ever. A hair transplant can take a relatively small amount of hair and diffuse its density to multiply coverage all over your scalp – filling in bald patches and restoring your hairline, permanently.

Telogen (TE)
Telogen effluvium (TE) is the second most common type of hair loss that our clients report, and this type is generally temporary. Reasons for hair production to drop significantly are vague and varied. TE leads to thinner, weaker hair and less of it, or sudden “shock loss” that is characterized by a rapid, drastic hair fall and thinning. If something physically or mentally stressful happens during the resting, or telogen phase of the hair cycle there can be increased dormant follicles or resting hairs that “let go”. Such shocks to the system can include surgery, crash/starvation dieting, emotional trauma or fear.
Certain medications such as antidepressants have been linked to temporary hair loss. Medications used in cancer treatment are known to affect the rapidly growing cells of hairs and some skin cells, so these areas show immediate changes which can fully normalize when the treatment stops.
Other temporary causes for hair loss include traction or persistent pulling on the area. Some tight braided hairstyles are notorious for causing bald patches and receding hairlines.
Lastly, deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals may be linked to poor hair growth. There are variety of of herbal and nutritional supplements available to help support healthy hair growth and scalp health. These can include Omegas, Iron, silica, Biotin and others.
