Here, I will share some information about the most common problem we all have called ‘Hair 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.
It is normal to shed about 100 of your hairs a day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive (more than normal) hair loss. Hair loss of this type can affect any body whether it is men, women or children.
Now, we will discuss that what are the major causes of excessive hail loss?

It has been studied that once the medicine is stopped. The hair loss will reduce and hairs start growing normally.
Due to hormonal imbalance: 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.
