Hair Growth Circle

Hair Growth Circle

Hair growth cycle consists of three phases :

Anagen (growth phase): Most hair is growing at any given time. Each hair spends several years in this phase.

Catagen (transitional phase): Over a few weeks, hair growth slows and the hair follicle shrinks.

Telogen (resting phase): Over months, hair growth stops and the old hair detaches from the hair follicle.

At the end of telogen, hair is released and the next cycle is initiated.

Up to 100 hairs in telogen are shed each day and about the same number of follicles enter anagen.
