    GlossaryAnagen Duration

    period hair actively grows before transitioning to next phase

    Anagen Duration refers to the length of time that hair spends in the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase of the hair cycle. For most people, this phase lasts between 2 to 7 years, and it determines how long hair can grow before it stops and eventually falls out. Understanding anagen duration is crucial for professionals dealing with hair growth treatments and diagnosing hair loss conditions.
