    GlossaryHair Follicle Dynamics

    cyclical process of hair growth, rest, and shedding

    Hair Follicle Dynamics refers to the cyclical process of growth, rest, and shedding that hair follicles undergo. This cycle includes three main phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). Understanding these dynamics is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss conditions like alopecia.
