WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS?
There are quite a few causes of hair loss. The main cause in both men and women is hereditary hair loss which Regaine is scientifically proven to help stop and even reverse. We have identified the most common causes of hair loss for you.
The hair growth cycle
Hair grows in cycles and each growth cycle includes a growth phase, a transitional phase and a resting phase. In hereditary hair loss, owing to a change in hormones, the hair follicle shrinks and the growth cycle is shortened.
How does hair loss happen?
Each hair growth cycle produces a shorter, finer, much less visible hair. In time, a few follicles will even be destroyed and fail to grow hair. The most common cause of hair loss in men and women is androgenic alopecia (AGA). Genetics, hormones and age all play a part in this condition. In AGA, the hair follicle shrinks.
