Most bald people wish their hair would return. Experts often ponder, "What is the reason for hair fall and how to bring it back?" Firstly, our hair is mostly made up of keratin. This protein that is leftover from dead cells is forced upwards as new cells grow beneath them. Secondly, the structure called the hair follicles grows hair in an everlasting cycle. This cycle has 3 main phases.

Let's take a deeper look into it.

The first phase is the growth phase. About 90% of your hair follicles are experiencing this right now. Depending on your genes, the growth phase could last up to 2 to 7 years. After this period, hair follicles enter a new phase, called the regressing phase, causing hair follicles to shrink to a fragment of their original length. This phase usually lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks and cuts the blood supply to the hair follicles, making them ready to be shed. Finally, hairs enter the resting phase which lasts for about 10 to 12 weeks and affects nearly 10% of your follicles. During this phase, 200 hairs can be shed in a day and that's normal. Then, a new cycle begins.

Male pattern baldness is mainly attributed to genetics. Hair follicles of people with this condition become incredibly sensitive to the effects of a hormonal product of testosterone, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT causes shrinkage of these follicles, making hair shorter. Loss of hair, however, is not sudden. First, hair recession happens along the temples, followed by thinning of hair on the crown in a circular pattern. In the most severe cases, these balding areas meet and expand dramatically.

Genetics isn't the only factor in this. In the case of female pattern baldness, stress could be another major contributor to hair loss. There is another case wherein the follicles lose their ability to go into the growth phase. Patients going through chemotherapy may experience this. Although balding may look permanent, experts claim the opposite. Let us look at some treatment options for hair loss. Read more.

Conventional treatment

Conventional hair fall treatment focuses on drugs that tend to shorten the resting phase and force follicles into the growth phase. Other steroids work by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone so it doesn't attack the hair follicles. These can be really helpful but they do come with a threat of potential side-effects. These include hair growth in unwanted places, diminished sex drive, scalp irritation and rapid heart rate. Hair transplant surgery is always an option. Although this method has a higher success rate, the procedure itself can be painful and expensive. Not to mention the fact that if it goes wrong, may cause bleeding and scarring. You need something free from side-effects, go for homeopathy.
