    Understand The Four Stages of The Hair Growth Cycle

    Uploaded by

    Bhagirathi Sahu
    The hair growth cycle has four phases: 1) anagen is the growing phase that lasts 2-7 years, 2) catagen is a 10 day transition phase where the follicle shrinks, 3) telogen is a 3 month resting phase where 10-15% of hairs rest and a new hair begins growing, and 4) exogen is when the resting hair sheds and the new hair continues growing. Over multiple cycles, the length of the growing phase decreases and hair may become weaker and thinner without sufficient nutrients.

    The Hair Growth Cycle


    Hair grows from the follicle, or root, underneath the skin. The
    hair is ‘fed’ by blood vessels at the base of the follicle, which
    give it the nourishment it needs to grow. Between starting to
    grow and falling out years later, each hair passes through four
    stages: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. Every hair can
    be at a different stage of the growth cycle at any given time.

    Over time, the length of the anagen stage decreases.


    Therefore, the hair may become weaker and thinner after each
    cycle. That’s why it’s important to ensure your diet is rich in
    specific nutrients to maintain healthy hair growth.

    1. Anagen (Growing Phase)


    The growing phase lasts
    2-7 years and determines
    the length of our hair.

    2. Catagen (Transition
    Phase)
    This is the transitional
    stage that lasts about 10
    days. The hair follicle
    shrinks and detaches
    from the dermal papilla.

    3. Telogen (Resting Phase)


    This is the resting phase
    which lasts around three
    months. Around 10-15
    percent of hairs are in this
    phase. Whilst the old hair
    is resting, a new hair
    begins the growth phase.

    4. Exogen (New Hair Phase)


    This is part of the resting
    phase where the old hair
    sheds and a new hair
    continues to grow.
