    resting phase of the hair growth cycle

    Telogen hair follicles are hair follicles in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, which typically lasts around 2-3 months, the hair is not actively growing and is eventually shed to make way for new hair growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and about 10-15% of all hair follicles are in the telogen phase at any given time.

      A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair.

      community Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 4 years ago
      Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
