    GlossaryHair Follicle Elongation

    process where hair follicles grow longer during anagen phase

    Hair Follicle Elongation refers to the process by which hair follicles grow longer during the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. This involves the proliferation and differentiation of cells in the hair bulb, leading to the extension of the hair shaft. This process is crucial for the development of longer and thicker hair strands.
