Loose Anagen Syndrome - How Ayurveda Can Be Of Help?

Loose Anagen Syndrome is a hair disorder, which results in the hair getting loose and can get pulled out from the scalp in a completely painless manner. In this condition, hair do not remain anchored right into the scalp in a proper manner with any real known cause. Due to this reason, affected patients tend to have a kind of ‘bed head’ appearance and a type of hair that does not seem to grow. Very often, this disorder of the hair has been typically described to exist among children, predominantly on those girls who have blonde hair.

Occasionally this type of condition has been known to arise among adults. The prime suspects, who might get affected by Loose Anagen Syndrome, are those having fine hair, which can be removed in a painless manner from the scalp without any sort of effort.

The inner covering of the root plays an integral part to help anchor the sheath of the hair, within the hair follicle. When someone gets affected by loose anagen syndrome, abnormalities faced in the keratinisation of one’s inner covering of the root, caused due to the result of gene coding mutations for cytokeratins, lie at the root cause of the disorder. Hence, this leads to impairment in the adherence of the damaged or deformed shafts of the hair to the follicles.
