Common hair care, sometimes called male- or female-pattern hair care, accounts for 99 percent of hair loss in men and women.
Although its precise causes are unknown, heredity, hormones and age are contributing factor.
Unlike hair loss resultant from disease or other non-hereditary factors, hair loss due to ordinary hair care is permanent.
Causes of Hair Loss
Hair grows about an inch every couple of months. Each hair grows for 2 to 6 years, leftovers at that distance end to end for a short period, and after that falls out.
A new hair soon begins growing in its place. At any one time, about 85% of the hair on your head is in the growing phase and 15% is not.
Each hair sits in a cavity in the skin called a follicle. Hair care in men occurs when the follicle shrink over time, resultant in shorter and finer hair.
The end result is a very small follicle with no hair inside. Ordinarily, hair should grow back.
Symptoms of Hair Loss

Hair Care Tips
Brush your hair frequently before going to bed each night.
Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very little but adequate to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to keep hair manageable.
Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and lastly break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently take away the knots.
Restrict blow-drying your hair. The procedure of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner and colouring agent.
