How does Hair grow?

You could lose up to 50 to 100 hairs a day, some of us don't get them back though. Hair is made up of thousands of follicles all over your head and they are not all working at the same time. Actually about 80% of hair follicles are working at one time. The rest of your follicles are "asleep." When asleep follicles start working again they start to push out old hair while making a new one.
