    resting phase of the hair growth cycle

    Telogen hair follicles are hair follicles in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, which typically lasts around 2-3 months, the hair is not actively growing and is eventually shed to make way for new hair growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and about 10-15% of all hair follicles are in the telogen phase at any given time.
