Interesting Facts About Hair

  • Each follicular unit has either one, two, three or four hairs growing from it. The average figure is 2-2.4
  • Hair diameter and density declines with age.
  • Normal hair density is 100 follicular units / cm2
  • Hair loss is only appreciable once at least half the hair in a particular area is lost
  • Hair follicles are constantly cycling and go through the following phases. At any one time. approximately 85% of hairs are in anagen, 2% in catagen and 13% in telogen
