  • 2. 

    ____ can contribute to temporary hair loss.

    • Stress

    • Weight gain

    • Weight loss

    • Healthy eating

    Correct Answer
    A. Stress
    Explanation
    Stress can contribute to temporary hair loss because it can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle. When a person is under stress, their body releases stress hormones which can affect the hair follicles and cause them to enter a resting phase. This can result in increased hair shedding and temporary hair loss. Additionally, stress can also lead to unhealthy habits such as poor nutrition and lack of sleep, which can further contribute to hair loss.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    _____ imbalances can be a cause of hair loss.

    • Mental

    • Nutritional

    • Hormonal

    • Muscular

    Correct Answer
    A. Hormonal
    Explanation
    Hormonal imbalances can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating hair growth and follicle health. An imbalance in hormones, such as an excess of androgens or a deficiency in thyroid hormones, can cause hair follicles to miniaturize and eventually stop producing new hair. This can result in thinning hair or baldness. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by various factors, including genetics, medical conditions, stress, and certain medications.

    Hair loss may occur in women after:

    • Their menstral cycle

    • Menstration begins

    • Extreme exercise

    • Childbirth

    Correct Answer
    A. Childbirth
    Explanation
    Childbirth can cause hair loss in women due to hormonal changes. During pregnancy, high levels of estrogen prolong the hair growth phase, resulting in thicker and healthier hair. However, after childbirth, hormone levels drop significantly, causing hair to enter the resting phase and eventually fall out. This condition is known as postpartum hair loss and is temporary. It typically occurs around three to six months after giving birth and can last up to a year.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If the scalp is ____ there may be permentant hair loss.

    • Bumpy

    • White

    • Red

    • Scarred

    Correct Answer
    A. Scarred
    Explanation
    If the scalp is scarred, it can lead to permanent hair loss. Scarring on the scalp can damage the hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth. When the follicles are scarred, they may no longer be able to produce new hair, resulting in permanent hair loss. Scarring can be caused by various factors such as burns, injuries, or certain medical conditions.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What percentage of hair is in rest phase at any time?

    • 5%

    • 10%

    • 15%

    • 20%

    Correct Answer
    A. 10%
    Explanation
    At any given time, approximately 10% of hair is in the rest phase. This means that the hair is not actively growing and is in a dormant state. The rest phase, also known as the telogen phase, is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, the hair follicle is not producing new hair strands. After the rest phase, the hair will enter the growth phase again, where new hair will begin to grow from the follicle.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    There are approximately ____ hairs on a scalp which is healthy.

    • 10

    • 1,000

    • 10,000

    • 100,000

    Correct Answer
    A. 10,000
    Explanation
    A healthy scalp typically has around 10,000 hairs.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How long is a standard hair's growth phase?

    • 1 - 3 years

    • 3-5 years

    • 2-6 years

    • 5 - 10 years

    Correct Answer
    A. 2-6 years
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2-6 years. The hair growth phase, known as the anagen phase, can vary in length for different individuals. On average, it lasts around 2-6 years. During this phase, the hair follicles actively produce new hair cells, resulting in hair growth. After the anagen phase, the hair enters a resting phase called the telogen phase, and eventually falls out to make room for new hair growth.

    • 2 in 5

    • 1 in 5

    • 1 in 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 in 4
    Explanation
    During menopause, hormonal changes occur in a woman's body, which can lead to hair loss. The correct answer, "1 in 4," suggests that 25% of women experience hair loss before and during menopause. This indicates that hair loss is a common occurrence during this stage of life for a significant portion of women.
