The growth of the hair
Who does not like beautiful, shiny and healthy hair capable of being put perfectly in various hairstyles? Hair is a vital component when it comes to the beauty of an individual. Hair has the second fastest growing ability following the intestinal cells. How your hair grows is directly associated with the nutrients present in your bloodstream just like any other organ or part of the organism and indirectly indicating the healthy lifestyle of your body.
The growth of the hair is initiated through follicles present in your scalp; a protein named keratin is formed from these follicles and eventually grow into these long, thin fibers you call hair. These fibers are continuously growing and shredding because your scalp produces new keratin and pushes the older part of the hair away from the scalp. In this way, shredding of hair is quite normal but an excessiveloss could indicate a malnutritional diet or an unhealthy state of your hair. Although gray hair is a sign of grace, many people find it in their habits to dye their grey hair to some other color using cosmetics and other medications which also produces side effects on the hair.
Hair loss could be a result of stress, impaired genes, hormonal dysfunction, medications but the most common cause of potential hair fall is the change in the amount of vitamin and minerals present in your bloodstream, both excess and minimal amount can become a reason forshredding of hair apart from the normal range i.e loss of 100 hairs per day.
