Did you mean Follicular Development?

GlossaryFollicular Development

process of hair follicles growing and maturing through distinct phases

Follicular development refers to the process by which hair follicles grow and mature. This involves several stages, including the anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) phases. During these stages, cells within the follicle divide, differentiate, and eventually produce a hair shaft. This cycle is crucial for maintaining healthy hair growth and is influenced by various factors such as hormones, genetics, and overall health.
