Investigations & Diagnosis
Treatment of Hair Problems
Introduction: Each hair grows from a hair root called as hair follicle. The hair follicle goes through a cycle of growth (anagen phase), shrinkage (catagen phase) and rest (telogen phase). The length to which hair will grow depends on the length of the anagen phase. The longer hair in the female is due to the longer anagen phase in women.
Hair color is essentially governed by the amount of melanin pigment in the hair which is genetically & nutritionally determined.
The main controlling influences on hair growth are complex genetic, racial factors , hormonal, nutritional & other factors.

1) Generalized Hair Fall (Telogen effluvium)
2) Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
3) Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia also called: Common baldness )
