DISEASES OF THE HAIR

There are 300,000 hair on the scalp of a normal human being. The hair increase 1 cm in length in a month. Not all hair of the scalp are increasing in length at the same but 1% are in a resting state, they are not increasing their length.

A hair has an aerage age of 3 year, during these 3 years the hair is some times growing and at other times it is resting. When the age of the hair is near to complete its end becomes swollen and the hair falls off.

The hair are falling from the scalp daily, around 50-100 hair fall frm the skin of scalp daily. In European countries upto 300 hair may fall daily from the scalp.

There are three types of hairs: first type is of scalp, eyebrow, and eyelashes; second type is of hormne dependent hair on beard, armpits, and perineal hair; third type is of soft hair which are scattered all over the body. The total hair on the human body is 500,000.

During pregnancy the hair stop falling, but keep on growing. 3-9 months after delivery most of the women feel that their hair have fallen much.
