We all have an individual hair cycle and every hair on our heads are in some stage of the hair cycle. The simple stages of the hair cycle are growing, resting and falling where there is a new hair growing. If the hair does not fall it means, there is something wrong with the hair cycle and there are no new hairs growing. Just like the rest of our body cells, they are constantly dividing and dying creating a whole new you every seven years. This also applies to hair.
Science has figured out averages for the hair cycle. Naturally falling hairs are called telogen, this normal daily hair loss can range between 70 to 160 strands of hair. Sounds like a lot but consider how many hairs are over the entire head (check number). Remember if the hair is not falling it is not growing which is just a big a problem and hair loss where anagen growing hairs prematurely falling out because of a trigger. There are also different types of hair thinning where the damage can be at a cellular level which can also disturb the hair cycle.

The purpose of this article is to reassure you daily hair loss is normal and essential for hair growth. When experiencing hair loss and hair thinning, I find there is a high level of hair anxiety at the though of losing even one stand of hair. We talked earlier about correct diagnosis, once you have that you will understand why you have or hair hair loss and should have a hair loss treatment plan in place.
When physically experiencing hair loss from a disturbed hair cycle you could expect to lose up to 320 hair a day. The hair loss will happen three months after the trigger and will fall for three months, so the key is understanding and removing the trigger. Hair avoidance is another thing that happens with hair loss and hair thinning along with the hair anxiety. Many people think if they don’t wash their hair then it won’t fall out, or even think washing the hair is the cause of the hair loss, this is not true. So, they may reduce hair washing to once a week but then if you have hair loss with 300 strands of hair a day and you’re only washing once a week there is @ 2000 hairs!
