Did you mean Hair Cycle Synchronization?

GlossaryHair Cycle Synchronization

process where hair follicles enter same growth phase together

Hair Cycle Synchronization refers to the process where hair follicles on the scalp or other parts of the body enter the same phase of the hair growth cycle simultaneously. This can be induced by certain treatments or conditions and is often used in research to study hair growth patterns or in clinical settings to manage hair loss conditions like alopecia. For example, synchronizing hair follicles to the anagen (growth) phase can help in evaluating the effectiveness of hair growth treatments.
