To understand Why does our hair fall out more at one time than another? we need to know the life cycle of hair. It consists of three phases and, curiously, all of them are related to the number three.
First phase of growth or anagen, which lasts an average of three years. It is the period in which the hair is growing at its normal rate. Hair grows on average a month, more or less, one centimeter. In this phase the hair follicle is very well nourished and nutrients reach it without any problem.
Second phase of transition or catagen. It lasts about three weeks. In this phase the activity of the root stops and the hair stops receiving nutrients: the hair will stop growing and will be like this, withering for a few weekslike a flower that you pluck from the ground, before moving into the telogen phase.
Third telogen phase, lasts about three months. This is the third and final phase of the hair life cycle: the hair no longer grows and is dying, on the verge of caramel. It will fall off at any time when washing or brushing our hair..
Fourth phase and end of cycle, start again. Now a new hair is born and a new anagen phase would begin. We must not forget that If a hair dies it is because there is another behind it pushing to be born.r. Therefore, most of the time we are wrong when we talk about hair loss or hair loss… it is actually renewal!
