    GlossaryKenogen

    phase where hair follicle is empty before new growth

    Kenogen refers to a phase in the hair growth cycle where the hair follicle remains empty after the old hair has shed and before a new hair begins to grow. This phase is part of the broader hair cycle, which includes anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) phases. Understanding kenogen is important for professionals studying hair loss conditions like alopecia, as it can indicate disruptions in the normal hair growth cycle.
