The average person’s hair growth cycle happens in three stages: the growth phase, degradation phase, and resting phase. The hair growth cycle starts with a half inch of growth every month for 2 to 6 years. The hair then loses its strength and eventually falls out. Then there is a resting period in, which the hair is dormant before it begins growing again. Later in life the hair growth cycle in mainly men may be much different. 50% of men by the age 50 start to experience some form of hair loss. A hair transplant is one of the best ways to restore hair loss in men.
