Let's Talk About Hair

The Basics of Hair Anatomy

Hair is made up of a protein called keratin. Keratin is a tough, fibrous protein that is also found in skin and nails. Hair grows from follicles, which are small pits in the skin. Each hair follicle contains a hair shaft, a root, and a sebaceous gland. The hair shaft is the visible part of the hair. The root is the part of the hair that is embedded in the skin. The sebaceous gland produces sebum, which is an oily substance that helps to keep hair healthy and shiny.

Hair grows in cycles. The growth cycle consists of three phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. The anagen phase is the active growth phase. During this phase, the hair follicle produces a new hair shaft. The catagen phase is the transition phase. During this phase, the hair follicle stops producing a new hair shaft and the hair shaft begins to move up the follicle. The telogen phase is the resting phase. During this phase, the hair shaft is fully formed and it is shed from the follicle.

The average person loses about 50 to 100 hairs per day. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. However, if you are losing more hair than usual, it could be a sign of a medical condition.

Hair Health

Hormones can also affect the health of your hair. For example, changes in hormone levels during pregnancy and menopause can lead to hair loss. * Medical conditions. Some medical conditions can also lead to hair loss. These conditions include thyroid disease, anemia, and cancer. * Medications. Some medications can also cause hair loss. These medications include chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners, and antidepressants.
