    GlossaryEmpty Hair Follicles

    hair follicles not currently producing hair strands

    Empty hair follicles, also known as inactive or vacant hair follicles, refer to hair follicles that are not currently producing hair. This can occur due to various reasons such as the natural hair growth cycle, hormonal changes, or conditions like alopecia. In these cases, the follicle remains intact but is not actively generating a hair shaft.
