They just choose to call it “hair shedding” instead of “hair loss”. The difference between hair shedding and hair loss is that the scalp compensates for hair shedding by growing new […]

Our hair is mainly composed of a versatile protein called keratin. It accounts for nearly 95 percent of every hair strand. Moreover, it is found both inside the hair as well as on its surface.
