Title: Treatments of hereditary hair loss (alopecia)
Abstract: Hair is the second fastest growing tissue in the human body, the first being bone marrow.
The rate of hair growth is about 1.25 cm (0.5 inches) per month. With age the speed of
hair growth significantly slows down, and may turn out to be only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) a
month.
Baldness becomes visible only when the amount of lost hair approaches to 50%.
Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in
men, and is responsible for more than 95% of all cases of baldness.
Hair are a protein product of follicles and so are sensitive to changes within the body, and
hair loss is often the result of an internal disorder.
What is hair loss?

decrease in the amount of hair. Although alopecia can occur anywhere on the body, it is
especially distressing when it affects the scalp. It usually develops gradually and may be
patchy or diffuse
