How to regrow thinning hair naturally?

The hair growth cycle has three steps:

Anagen – In this phase, the hair actively grows from the roots before the hair follicles become inoperative. The hair grows by 18 – 30 inches during this hair growth phase.

Catagen – This is a transitional phase where 3% of hair stops growing and separates from the hair follicles. The catagen phase lasts for a few days or a maximum of 3 weeks.

Telogen – It is the resting phase that lasts for two to three months. At the end of this phase, the existing hair falls and new strands replace them. Here the hair growth cycle repeats itself.

It is normal to lose 50 to 100 strands of hair in a day as a part of the growth cycle. If you start noticing severe hair loss, it is recommended you visit a doctor.

There are different types of hair loss; identifying them will help you choose an appropriate hair loss treatment. Mentioned below are a few types of hair loss problems you may suffer from:

• Traction alopecia: This type of hair loss may lead to hair fall caused by stress and constant pulling. Tight hairstyles, use of chemicals, or heat used on the hair can cause it to break. The re-growth of hair due to this condition can be difficult and may vary from person to person. Symptoms noticed under this condition are itching, redness, and scalp inflammation.

• Alopecia areata: This is an autoimmune condition caused by the immune system’s attack on your hair follicles. The common symptoms noticed in this hair fall condition are broken hair shafts, patchy hair loss, and vellus hair.

• Androgenetic alopecia: Androgenetic alopecia is a condition where you may progressively lose hair on your scalp. This can affect men and women with conditions known as ‘Male Pattern Baldness’ and ‘Female Pattern Baldness’.

• Anagen effluvium: This hair condition is associated with medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation used for cancer treatment. It commonly affects your hair during the anagen phase with symptoms like diffuse hair loss and tapered fracture of hair shafts.

• Telogen effluvium: Hair follicles rest during the telogen phase; but when the hair regrowth stops, it can lead to this hair fall condition. You may start noticing hair loss all over your scalp. It can turn out to be chronic if the condition lasts longer than six months. In this type of hair loss, you may start seeing clusters of hair on your hairbrush and in the shower.

• Medication infused hair loss: Steroids, cancer treatments, anti-depressants, thyroid medications, cholesterol drugs, Parkinson's disease, and high blood pressure can be reasons for hair loss. If you experience hair loss due to medications it is recommended you visit a doctor to get the condition under control.
