Hair Loss Treatment
Hair is not only important socially (especially on the head and face), but it functions to give protection, provide sensation, offer insulation, and portray sexual communication. Hair problems on the scalp are major problems that people seek help with.
On average, there are roughly 100,000 hair follicles on a scalp. This varies by hair color. The density also varies by ethnicity. While most scalp hair is in Anagen (or growth) phase, there is < 1% of hair in Catagen (or shedding), which leads to ~50-200 hairs/day to be shed.
