What Is Hair Loss?
Hair is living tissue made of a protein called keratin. Over time, due to various reasons, deterioration in the hair structure occurs and the hair strands on the skin surface begin to fall out.

Hair has a certain growth phase. After all the hair strands come to the surface of the skin, they grow, pause and fall out. A hair strand has an average growth phase of 2-6 years, a pause phase of 3-4 weeks, and a shedding phase. When the roots of the hair strands are not damaged, the hair returns to the beginning of the cycle and starts to grow. If there is no disease or genetic problem, this cycle continues for many years and it is considered normal to lose 50-100 hair strands per day. In case of hair loss in more than normal amount for 2-3 months, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor without delay.
