Hair loss as it is commonly understood is losing the hairs from the
head. Medically, the hair loss refers to the baldness or alopecia. This
is losing the hairs from the scalp in abundant quantity. Generally,
losing 50-100 hairs per day can be considered as a normal physiological
procedure as all those hairs can be replaced with new growing hairs.
Hair loss becomes significant when one starts losing more than that
figure of hairs a day
Hair loss could be due to many reasons, hereditary, being number one.
Other causes include certain drugs, hormonal changes, pregnancy,
therapies (like chemotherapy), salty water (for bathing and for
drinking), makeup and dandruff. Men are more suffering from hair loss as
compared to females. Baldness will be in men and not in female due to
genetic reasons
