    Glossary Hair Cycle Arrest

    normal hair growth phases are disrupted, halting new hair production

    Hair Cycle Arrest refers to a condition where the normal cycle of hair growth is disrupted, causing hair follicles to stop progressing through their usual phases of growth, rest, and shedding. This can lead to thinning hair or hair loss, as the follicles remain in a dormant state and fail to produce new hair. It can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying medical conditions.
