Hair fall 🍂 or issues related to hair loss have posed a challenge to physicians over the ages.
Samson (of the Samson & Delilah fame) was famed for the strength of his hair and Draupadi was lauded for her hair....
Upto 50-100 strands of hair loss per day is considered to be normal.
There is also a stage on the cycle of an individual hair's growth where the hair fall is huge (when shedding takes place) and one where there is a plateau (where growth is occurring).
All this has to be factored in for hair loss issues.
Genetics, Hormonal , Environmental, Physiological, Medical, Psychological factors all play a role in hair fall.
Therefore a detailed history and assessment is required with clear pics before any conclusion is made as to what is the cause of hair fall in any individual case and the treatment will have to be tailor made for that.
Please do Consult ONLINE for a more detailed discussion and best outcomes.
