What is hair loss

Hair is made up of a protein called keratin produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. Follicles produce new hair cells which push old cells out through the surface of the skin at the rate of about six inches a year. The hair you can see is actually a string of dead keratin cells. The average adult head has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs and loses up to 100 of them a day; so finding a few stray hairs on your hairbrush is not necessarily cause for alarm. As we age the rate of growth slows naturally and our hair thins. There are other conditions which lead to a more rapid loss of hair and at a much earlier age the normal. These types of hair loss are called alopecia and below you will find a list of the most common types.
