About 90 percent of the hair on a person's scalp is growing at any one time. The growth phase lasts between two and six years. Ten percent of the hair is in a resting phase that lasts two to three months. At the end of its resting stage, the hair is shed. When a hair is shed, a new hair from the same follicle replaces it and the growing cycle starts again.
Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month. As people age, their rate of hair growth slows. Natural blondes typically have more hair (140,000 hairs) than brunettes (105,000 hairs) or redheads (90,000 hairs). Most hair shedding is due to the normal hair cycle, and losing 50-to-100 hairs per day is no cause for alarm. However, if you are experiencing excessive hair loss or dramatic thinning, other factors may be at work.
Hereditary balding or thinning is the most common cause of hair loss. The tendency can be inherited from either the mother's or father's side of the family. Women with this trait develop thinning hair, but do not become completely bald.
Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is a metabolite of testoterone that causes excessive hair loss. DHT on the scalp and within the hair follicles can eventually cause follicles to 'miniaturize,' and atrophy, eventually choking off any new hair growth. Worldwide Health Center offers a new hair rejuvenation formula that limits the formation of DHT on the scalp as well as the time tested efficacy of Polysorbate 80.

• Hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body, second only to bone marrow.
• Each hair grows for about five years and then falls out.
• Smokers are more likely to have grey hair than nonsmokers.
• If you have dry or brittle hair, it could be the result of a zinc deficientcy.
• 35 meters of hair fibre is produced every day on the average adult scalp.
