Myth 1 : Hair loss can be predicted by looking at your mother's father
Truth : Hair loss is a hereditary trait and can be inherited from either the
mother's or father's side. Many men believe that if their father has a full head of hair, they'll keep a good head of hair, it is a myth.
Myth 2 : Hair loss will stop after a certain age
Truth : Hair loss is both progressive and unpredictable. It doesn't stop at any particular age. Regardless
of whether a person still has
a full
head of hair or thinks they've lost all they can, hair loss can increase over time.
Myth 3 : Losing 100 strands of hair per day is normal
Truth : The average number of
follicles in your scalp is between 100,000 to 150,000, 90% of which is in the growth cycle. New studies
have
indicated that only about 20 to 50 strands are shed normally in a day. Thus losing 100 strands per day may be an
indication of the early stages of hair loss.
Myth 4 : Brushing or massaging the scalp can reduce hair loss
Truth : The idea of brushing
the hair 100 times a day to stimulate the scalp circulation is a fantasy. In fact, if you brush your hair too
much,
you may end up injuring and losing hair.
Myth 5 : Taking medicines can increase hair follicles
Truth : The number of hair
follicles is determined by genetics and cannot be changed by taking drugs
or supplements. The only proven
way to increase the number of follicles is by hair transplant
surgery. Similarly, the diameter of hair shaft, the maximum length
of growth, rate of hair growth,
hair color, tendency to curl, and tendency to gray are genetically determined.
