Glossary Hair 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 Scalp Skin Barrier Health and Hair Follicle Cycling: A Potential Overlooked Connection

in Technology 4 months ago

The conversation discusses the importance of scalp skin barrier health in hair follicle cycling, suggesting treatments like ceramides or niacinamide to support hair growth. It also mentions the use of finasteride for hair loss.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.

community Addressing queries in my DMs about my hair growth and my current state

129 upvotes 5 months ago

The conversation discusses hair regrowth treatments, specifically using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. The user experienced hair growth after switching to oral medications and adjusting dosages, with no significant side effects reported.

community Oral Biotin and Topical Minoxidil have a synergy effect in increasing hair growth, the study was only done in healthy subjects and it was only 14 days but it does prove that biotin can play a significant role as an adjunct treatment.

168 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral biotin combined with topical minoxidil may increase hair growth rate, though the study was limited to healthy subjects and did not measure hair density. Some users report personal benefits from biotin, such as faster nail growth and healthier hair, but concerns about acne and study quality were also mentioned.

When will I see new hair growth after a hair transplant? New hair growth usually starts 2-4 months after a hair transplant.

learn Nanoxidil

How long does it usually take to notice new hair growth with Nanoxidil? New hair growth with Nanoxidil typically takes 3 to 6 months to become noticeable.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and how does it support hair growth in alopecia? VEGF promotes hair growth by enhancing blood supply to hair follicles.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.
