Understanding Hair Loss
• Is it Hair Loss or Hair Fall ?
Hair fall is when you daily lose 50-100 strands of hair. Whereas, hair loss is hair fall that will not go away. Hair fall that happens for over a month is hair loss,more precisely a hair loss condition.
• Why am I losing 50-100 strands of hair ?
It is because hair grows in phases:
Anagen The growth phase LASTS 2 TO 8 YRS
Catagen Transition phase LASTS 10 DAYS
Telogen Resting phase LASTS AROUND THREE MONTHS
Exogen New hair phase THE SHEDDING OF OLD HAIR AND GROWTH OF NEW HAIR
A single strand of hair passes through all four stages, Normally 90% of the hair is in the anagen or growth phase and the rest are either in the resting or shedding phase. In case of a hair loss condition, each hair cycle produces thinner, weaker and fewer hair that eventually leads to baldness.

In hair loss condition, each hair cycle will produce thinner, weaker and fewer hair. In time, follicles begin to die and hair fails to regrow.
So yes, hair thinning is a sign of early stage hair loss.

• How do I know what hair loss condition am I suffering from?
One of the things about hair loss is - it is super organised. That means, it happens in very specific patterns
1. Androgenic Alopecia aka Male Pattern Baldness / Female Pattern Hair Loss
- Family history, 82% of the times And just to be clear, family history includes all blood relatives on the maternal and paternal side
- Hair Loss for over 6 months
- Hair Loss in a pattern(For men - receding hairline and gradual thinning/balding of crown area. For women - widening partition and increased scalp visibility)
- Decreased density or volume
- No recent health history (this does not include comorbidities)
How does it happen? It's all in the name - Androgenic Alopecia is linked to hormones called androgens. Specifically overproduction of DHT or dihydrotestosterone. This results in two things - First, the overproduced androgen receptors bind with your follicles, causing them to shrink, this process is known as miniaturization. Because of this, your follicles can no longer get the amount of blood oxygen and nutrition to produce thick and healthy hair. So your hair gets thinner, shorter and sometimes, non-pigmented hair until there is no more hair growth from your follicle. That is why, androgenic alopecia is gradual, so gradual that you fail to notice it in time .
Second, it leads to shortening of the anagen phase and lengthening of the duration between shedding phase and start of new anagen phase. Basically your hair takes time to grow, doesn't stay for long and takes a long time to come back .
But I am young, why is this happening to me so soon?
Hair loss like a lot of other medical conditions has an onset period that gets affected by diet, lifestyle and other factors. Late onset is something that is 'age-related' and takes place due to the ageing process. Early onset, is that which kicks off as early as 18 years old due to lifestyle triggers that aggravate pattern hair loss
2. Telogen Effluvium (TE)
At any time, a regular scalp has 80-90% of hair in the anagen (growth) phase and the others in the resting phase. The growth phase lasts for 2-4 years and the Telogen (resting) phase lasts for 2 to 4 months. After resting phase the hair falls off and is replaced by new hair.
But in TE- stress or shock (mental or physical) pushes more than 40% of your hair in the resting phase. So instead of losing just 100 in a day you lose 300.
Do you know if your hairloss is at an Anagen phase or a Resting phase? How soon will you see your hair grow back.
Get an Online Hair DiagnosisWhat counts as a trigger for Telogen Effluvium?
- Surgery
- Major physical trauma
- Major psychological stress
- High fever, severe infection or other illness
- Extreme weight loss
- Extreme change in diet
- Abrupt hormonal changes, (associated with childbirth & menopause)
- Iron deficiency
- Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism
- Some medications
Because the resting phase is 2-4 months, the hair loss starts a few months after the trigger. This type of hair loss is also temporary and usually doesn't last longer than 6 months. But that doesn't mean you don't need to intervene. The volume loss in TE is intense and can be scary. Volume recovery is not always as rapid as the hairloss, that's where treatment comes in.
3. Alopecia Areata
This is technically an autoimmune disorder, in which your body's immune system starts attacking your follicles as if they are foreign particles. The hair loss is in the form of a coin sized circular bald patch with no hair on it. In extreme cases, the hair loss is not limited to your scalp and may also occur in other parts of the body.
Unfortunately, we cannot treat this type of hair loss condition. The best solution will be to go to a local dermatologist and get a Plan. We may not be able to give you medicine for this, but we will give you all the information and support that you need. Do get in touch with Traya Support.
