Myth 1 - It is a common notion that losing approximately 30 - 40 hair per day is normal.

The opinion in this regards differ from person to person. Some feel losing 30-40 strands of hair in a day on an average is really obvious while some sense losing of 100 hair in a day is quite possible.

To analyze the situation it is suggested to go for a measurement ratio that is A: T ratio in which A indicates Anagen (growing) and T indicates Telogen (falling). The perfect score is 8:2 or 9:1 this will help you to understand whether one has a hairfall problem or no.

Any variation from the above is deformity and immediate treatment should be started under the guidance of a trichologist.

Myth 2 - Getting bald is a hereditary factor and the genes are received from the paternal side.

It is wrong to blame only the father for inheriting the balding genes. This myth is unrealistic and often mistaken by many of us. This is also possible from the genes transmitted by the mother's end and in few cases these genes may be received from both the ends.

So the mystery about baldness genes concludes that it can ...
... be a genetic transmission from the mother or the father.

Myth 3 - Standing upside down for few minutes will result in hair growth.

It is a myth that being in an upside down position will increase blood circulation and decrease our hairfall issues. This belief is highly impractical and one does not gain any hair growth by following this exercise.

Myth 4 - Massive use of shampoos increases hairfall issues.

This legend is very common amongst the people that enormous use of shampoo will damage hair severely. Activities associated with hair like shampooing, combing and oiling come to a stop believing that hair fall can be more brutal.

These routine external activities have no impact on the hair fall process. The cause associated with the hairfall is rather internal and can be properly treated by a trichologist after considering your tricho analysis report and other details.

Myth 5 - Only external based treatments and applications of hair can give right shine and glow to it.
