Hair Loss in Men: Early Warning Signs, Stages & Proven Solutions
Every strand of hair goes through a three-stage lifecycle: anagen (active growth, lasting 2–7 years), catagen (transition, 2–3 weeks), and telogen (resting phase, 3 months). At the end of telogen, the hair sheds naturally and a new strand begins.
The average scalp has around 100,000 hair follicles. Losing 50–100 hairs a day is completely normal. The problem starts when the shedding rate dramatically outpaces new growth — or when follicles permanently shrink and stop producing hair altogether.
