Hair follicles generally grow about half an inch a month and each hair has a growth phase lasting two to six years. After this, the hair "rests," falls out and the cycle resumes as a new hair follicle replaces it. However, some women suffer an interruption in this cycle, generally those who have a genetic predisposition to such hair loss. Such interruptions can speed up the rate at which hair follicles fall out, or slow down the rate of replacement. This can cause noticeably thinning hair all over the scalp, especially at the crown.

Regrow Hair Protocol

Some women who experience hair loss may be suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a disorder which affects female hormones. They may also suffer from certain autoimmune disorders that wind up causing problems like alopecia areata, which causes hair to come out in clumps or patches. It is also important to note that certain situations in which hair loss is only temporary may exist. For example, many women experience sudden alopecia following childbirth, surgery, crash dieting, and even emotionally traumatizing events. Hair loss from these experiences is usually only temporary, with full hair regrowth occurring within a few months.
