It is quite common, and normal, to lose about 80 to 100 strands of hair every day. As long as your scalp is replacing the fallen strands with hair of similar thickness, texture and strength, there should not be any cause for concern. However, that is not always the case, and when your scalp fails to replace lost hair at the same rate, you notice a drop in hair volume. To be precise, reduced hair volume is the result of the increased sensitivity of your follicles to normal levels of androgens. As a result of which, your hair follicles shrink and produce new hair which is lesser in diameter and length. Simply put, you are not actually losing hair but the new hair is just not able to fill out the old space. Fortunately, while there are many routes of treatment available to boost hair volume, Ayurveda has a set of established principles to do the same.
