    GlossaryHair Growth Cycle

    process where hair follicles undergo growth, transition, and rest phases

    The Hair Growth Cycle, also known as Hair Follicle Cycling, consists of three main phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). During the anagen phase, hair actively grows from the follicle, which can last several years. The catagen phase is a short period where growth stops, and the hair follicle shrinks. Finally, in the telogen phase, the hair rests before eventually falling out, making way for new hair to begin the cycle again. Understanding these phases is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss conditions like alopecia.

      community Transition from Baby Hair to Normal Hair?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  33 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses the slow transition from baby hair to normal hair while using finasteride and transitioning to dutasteride, with progress except for the crown area. It's mentioned that hair thickening can take years, with each growth cycle potentially making the hair thicker, and this process can span over 6 months or more.

      community Minoxidil hairs not growing to full length

      in Minoxidil  22 upvotes 2 months ago
      New hair growth from minoxidil and finasteride is not reaching full length, possibly due to slow growth cycles. Users discuss dosing strategies for oral minoxidil to improve efficacy and minimize side effects, with advice against consuming topical minoxidil orally.

      community Losing hairs is not the same as balding

      in Chat  145 upvotes 4 days ago
      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can cause initial shedding as they restart the hair growth cycle, but this is not an indicator of treatment failure. The effectiveness of these treatments should be judged by cosmetic changes over time, not by daily hair loss counts.
