GlossaryHair Growth Cycle

process where hair follicles undergo growth, transition, and rest phases

The Hair Growth Cycle, also known as Hair Follicle Cycling, consists of three main phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). During the anagen phase, hair actively grows from the follicle, which can last several years. The catagen phase is a short period where growth stops, and the hair follicle shrinks. Finally, in the telogen phase, the hair rests before eventually falling out, making way for new hair to begin the cycle again. Understanding these phases is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss conditions like alopecia.

community Does periodic shedding make long hair with finasteride impossible?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 7 upvotes 3 months ago

Finasteride can help extend the hair growth cycle and improve hair density, allowing for long hair despite initial shedding. Periodic shedding may occur, but it typically does not affect healthy hair significantly.

community If people technically have hair follicles all over their body with baby hairs, why is regrowing hair so difficult to do?

in Chat 8 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair loss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
