    Glossary Hair Follicle Function

    growth and maintenance of hair through cyclical phases

    The hair follicle function involves the growth and maintenance of hair. Each hair follicle is a dynamic organ found in the skin that undergoes cycles of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen). It is responsible for producing hair fibers, supplying nutrients through blood vessels, and regulating hair growth through interactions with hormones and other signaling molecules.
