Introduction

So often people are concerned when they see a few hairs in the basin or shower after a shampoo: "Eek!, I'm going bald!"   While this concern is understandable (we speak of personal experience), a knowledge of the hair growth cycles would allay most of the fears.  It is normal for as many as a hundred hairs to fall out per day and is part of the normal growth cycle.

But an understanding of the hair growth cycles is also vital when discussing hair removal processes.  The phase of the growth cycle that a hair is in determines the effectiveness of the hair removal treatment.
