The hair growth cycle consists of 3 phases: 1) the anagen growth phase where hair grows rapidly for 2-6 years, 2) the catagen transitional phase where growth stops over a few weeks and the hair detaches from the root, and 3) the telogen resting phase where the hair follicle rests for 2-3 months before the old hair falls out and a new hair enters the growth phase in a continuous cycle. Losing around 80-100 hairs per day is normal, but more than 100 may indicate baldness as the growth and rest phases become unbalanced.

2.  Losing around 80-100 hairs a day is common.
 A new hair grows when the old one falls.
 It’s a cycle.
 Hair fall of more than 100 a day may cause baldness.

3. Hair cycle consists of 3 stages.
1. The growth phase (Anagen phase)
2. The transitional phase (Catagen phase)
3. The resting phase (Telogen phase)
There are always,
85% of hairs in Growth phase
14% of hairs in Resting phase
If this ratio gets unbalanced then hair fall is assumed to happen.

4. The growth phase (Anagen):
• It lasts around 2 to 6 years.
• Key phase for the formation of health hairs.
• Active metabolism of the hair root ensures rapid division of
hair cells.
• New hair is formed and grows.
• Hair is particularly sensitive.
• Stress or nutritional deficiencies may cause the growth of
the hair.

5. The transitional phase (Catagen):
• It lasts just a few weeks.
• Growth stops.
• Hair cell division declines.
• Root shrinks to 1/3rd of its actual size.
• Hair detaches itself from root and travels upward in the
scalp.
• 1%-3% of the total hairs are always in this phase
• Hair formed is known as club hair.

6. The resting phase (Telogen):
• It’s the last phase with the lasting period of 2 to 3 months.
• Hair follicle is at complete rest.
• Club hair is completely formed.
• Pulling a hair out will reveal solid, hard, dry, white material
at the root.
• About 25-100 hairs of this kind are shed everyday.
