What are the signs of hair loss?
Every human being loses hair on a daily basis. Shedding anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs per day is considered normal, with an average rate of growth of about 1/2 inch per month. True genetic hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, causes hair to be lost from the forehead back to the crown in men, while women s hair loss can follow two patterns of thinning, involving the areas similar to men on the top of the head, or a more diffuse thinning over the front, crown and sides.
