2. We have approximately 5 million hairs on our body.
About 150,000 (more if you're blond, less if you're a redhead)
are found on our scalp.
Each hair grows from a pocket in the skin called the hair
follicle.
During its growing phase, the follicle has a bulb-shaped
bottom, the center of which is called the dermal papilla (P).The
papilla is fed by very small blood vessels, which bring it food
and oxygen and take wastes away. The papilla is highly
sensitive to hormones. It is here that hormones and chemicals
secreted by your body (or injestedas a medicine) work on the
hair, making it grow faster, slower, or not at all.

5. The color of our hair is determined by pigmented
cells growing at the dermal papilla. These cells
(melanocytes), contain a chemical pigment
(melanin). The amount and density of melanin in
these cells determines the exact color of your hair.
There are two types of melanin, one coloring hair
brown to black (eumelanin) and one coloring hair
blond to red (pheomelanin). The color, shape and
thickness is in a large part determined by
genetics...just look at your folks!
6. The hair follicle is a sac-like structure that
surrounds the hair root. It is found below the
skin, and has very small blood vessels giving
it nourishment. Sebaceous glands
surrounding the hair root secrete oil (sebum)
while salt-water (perspiration) is secreted
from nearby sweat glands .The sebum oil
protects the hair and keeps it shiny and
waterproof, while the sweat is a way for the
body to cool down if it's too hot.
7. Hairis actually composed of a protein called
keratin. It's the same protein found in our
nails and in our skin. A strand of hair has
three layers. The outermost layer is called the
cuticle. It is transparent and acts to protect
the inner layers. The innermost layer is called
the medulla, and is composed of large baggy
cells that may have a hollow-like appearance.
Between these two layers is the cortex. The
bulk and strength of hair is from this compact
area of cells.
8. Anatomy of the Hair Shaft
- Cuticle layers bind the cortex bundles together
- Cortex provides the hair’s tensile strength
Cuticle layers protect cortex fibers from friction
and mechanical damage
- Cuticle responsible for surface properties of
hair: shine, smoothness
9. What is the normal cycle of hair growth
and loss?
The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to
3 years. Each hair grows approximately 1
centimeter per month during this phase.
About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is
growing at any one time. About 10 percent of
the hair on your scalp, at any one time, is in a
resting phase. After 3 to 4 months, the resting
hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its
place.
10. What causes excessive hair loss?
1-About 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major
surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair.
This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and
is temporary.
2-Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your
thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair
may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by
treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male
or female hormones, known as androgens and
estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone
imbalance may stop your hair loss.
11. 3-Many women notice hair loss about 3
months after they've had a baby. This loss
is also related to hormones. During
pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones
cause the body to keep hair that would
normally fall out. When the hormones
return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair
falls out and the normal cycle of growth
and loss starts again.
12. 4- Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss
improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that
can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called
anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, high blood pressure
or heart problems, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth
control pills and antidepressants.5-Certain infections can
cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair
loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal
medicines.6-hair loss may occur as part of an underlying
disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an
early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that
it can be treated.
13. Can certain hairstyles or treatments cause hair
loss?
Yes. If you wear pigtails or cornrows or use tight hair
rollers, the pull on your hair can cause a type of hair
loss called traction alopecia (say: al-oh-pee-sha). If the
pulling is stopped before scarring of the scalp
develops, your hair will grow back normally.
However, scarring can cause permanent hair loss. Hot
oil hair treatments or chemicals used in permanents
(also called "perms") may cause inflammation
(swelling) of the hair follicle, which can result in
scarring and hair loss.
