TLDR Hair grows in three stages: growing, transitioning, and resting.

The document "La physiologie du cheveu" by Jean Jacques Stene, published in 2004, discussed the biological and medical sciences related to hair, focusing on the hair cycle and hair follicle. It provided insights into the physiological processes governing hair growth and loss, although specific conclusions or study details were not provided in the summary. The article was peer-reviewed and published in the Revue médicale de Bruxelles.
