    biological processes controlling hair growth, rest, and shedding phases

    Hair Cycle Regulation refers to the biological processes that control the growth, rest, and shedding phases of hair follicles. This cycle includes three main stages: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Proper regulation ensures healthy hair growth and prevents conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs due to disruptions in this cycle.
