Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. A good head of hair provides some degree of warmth and protection from ultra violet radiation.
Anatomy of hair
Hair follicle, hair and sebaceous glands are collectively called that one fundamental unit which is responsible for hair production and these are penetrating up to the dermis of skin. Hair follicles form before the ninth week of foetal life. The hair matrix is the germinative part of hair follicle.
Your hair begins growing from a root in the bottom of the follicle. The root is made up of cells of protein. Blood from the blood vessels in your scalp feeds the root, which creates more cells and makes the hair grow. The hair gets pushed up through the skin as it grows, passing an oil gland along the way.
Physiology of hair growth
The lower part of the hair is the site of the growth. About halfway up the follicle, it becomes keratinised structure devoid of living cells. The junction of these two zones (Adamson’s fringe) is the level up to which keratinophilic fungi infect the hair. Actually living cells are not infected, so no permanent hair loss occurs following ringworm infection of scalp.
The hair has a cyclical pattern of growth. In this cycle, there are three phases.
Anagen (Growing phase) – It is active phase of hair production and it lasts an average of 1000 days on the scalp.
Catagen (Involution phase) – It is a short conversion phase from active growth to resting phase. Growth stopped and the end of the hair become club shaped. It is lasting only a few days.
Telogen (Resting phase) – It is a resting phase and at the end of which the club hair is shed. It lasts about 100 days.
The duration of each of these stages varies from region to region. On the scalp, said to contain an average of 100 000 hairs, anagen lasts for up to 3-4 years, catagen for about 2 weeks, and telogen for about 3 months.
One peculiar fact is that hair growth is not uniform and each hair has its own cycle. Hair growth is mainly androgen dependent even in females and testicular androgen responsible for beard growth and balding of head.
As many as 100 hairs may be shed from the normal scalp every day as a normal consequence of cycling. On the scalp, about 85% are normally in anagen and 15% in the telogen phase.
The length of hair is determined by the duration of anagen; e.g. the hairs of the eyebrows have shorter cycles than those of the scalp.
Hair growth and development is under endocrine control. Fine balance of oestrogens, androgens and gonodotrophins determines the pattern in individual.
