Did you mean Anagen/Telogen Ratio?

Glossary Anagen/Telogen Ratio

measure of hair follicles in growth vs. resting phases

The Anagen/Telogen Ratio is a measure used to assess hair growth and health by comparing the number of hair follicles in the anagen (growth) phase to those in the telogen (resting) phase. A higher ratio indicates a greater proportion of actively growing hair, which is typically a sign of healthy hair growth, while a lower ratio may suggest hair loss or a disruption in the hair growth cycle.

A 2% Oleosome-FGF-2 Fusion Extract Scalp Serum Improves Hair Density, Anagen/Telogen Ratio, Hair Shaft Thickness, and Scalp Barrier in Women with Shedding-Prone Hair: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study

research A 2% Oleosome-FGF-2 Fusion Extract Scalp Serum Improves Photo-trichogramDerived Hair Density, Anagen/Telogen Ratio, Hair Shaft Thickness, and Scalp Barrier Parameters in Women with Shedding-Prone Hair: A Randomized, SingleBlind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study

July 2026 in “International Journal of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology”

This exploratory pilot study reported that using a 2% Oleosome-FGF-2 fusion extract scalp serum twice daily for 84 days in women with telogen effluvium and brittle hair improved hair density, anagen/telogen ratio, hair shaft thickness, and scalp hydration compared to a placebo.

research Comparison of Hair Follicle Density and Anagen:Telogen Ratio between Topical Minoxidil Alone and Its Combination with Platelet-Rich Plasma Exosomes in a Mice Model of Androgenetic Alopecia

May 2026 in “Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences”

This study found that in a testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia mouse model, the combination of PRP-derived small extracellular vesicles and 5% minoxidil significantly improved hair follicle density and the anagen-to-telogen ratio compared to minoxidil alone, suggesting a synergistic effect that enhances hair growth.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Best science-backed supplements for androgenetic alopecia? Looking for real evidence

7 months ago

The conversation discusses treatments for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on evidence-based supplements to complement finasteride. Suggestions include oral minoxidil, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, tocotrienols, and various other supplements, while emphasizing the importance of scientific backing and cautioning against saw palmetto if already using finasteride.

community Effectiveness and Safety of Hair Growth Formulation Containing Tectona grandis L.f (Teak) Leaf Extract

in Chat 33 upvotes 1 year ago

Teak leaf extract shows potential as a mild hair growth promoter for androgenic alopecia, with similar positive trends to minoxidil but without significant side effects. It can be made at home using dried teak leaves and ethanol, though its effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride is debated.

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.
