Each hair grows approximately little less than half an inch in the hair growth cycle which lasts for 2-6 years.



Around 90 percent of hair on the scalp is growing at one point and the remaining 10 percent is in a resting phase. After about 2-3 months the hair in resting phase may fall and new hair growth takes place.



So as a part of this cycle it is normal to shed some hair daily. However if you experience excessive hair loss problem then it can be due to a long term stress or illness, hormonal problem, certain medications and infection.



Hair loss can also be due to some underlining disease like diabetes or lupus.
