<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA head full of healthy, lustrous hair is what all of us desire as our crowning glory. The silky, cascading hair that we see in advertisements often makes us daydream about doing those celebrity-like hair flips. But achieving that dream comes with the challenge of constant maintenance. Moreover, hair loss makes this uphill task even more challenging. As a part of the natural hair growth cycle, it is normal to lose around 100 hair strands per day and in most cases, they grow back ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. However, sometimes we may lose more hair than that and it doesn\u2019t grow back, leading to visible hair loss.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
