Did you mean Hair Follicle Function?

GlossaryHair Follicle Function

growth and maintenance of hair through cyclical phases

The hair follicle function involves the growth and maintenance of hair. Each hair follicle is a dynamic organ found in the skin that undergoes cycles of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen). It is responsible for producing hair fibers, supplying nutrients through blood vessels, and regulating hair growth through interactions with hormones and other signaling molecules.

community Do hair follicles ever really "die"? Or does all your front, mid, and crown hair just become vellus?

in Chat 141 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.

community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

in Research/Science 110 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

community Hair loss after COVID or vaccination isn’t “made up” but it’s also not what TikTok makes it sound like

in Research/Science 2 upvotes 6 months ago

COVID and COVID vaccination can trigger hair loss, primarily telogen effluvium, due to stress and immune system activation. Proper diagnosis and addressing factors like nutrition and stress are crucial for recovery.
