    GlossaryAnagen Progression

    phase of active hair growth in the hair cycle

    Anagen progression refers to the phase in the hair growth cycle where hair actively grows. This phase can last anywhere from 2 to 7 years, during which the hair follicle is deeply embedded in the scalp and cells in the root of the hair are rapidly dividing. For professionals, understanding anagen progression is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair growth disorders, as disruptions in this phase can lead to conditions like alopecia.
