    internal mechanism regulating hair growth, rest, and shedding phases

    The Hair Cycle Clock refers to the internal biological mechanism that regulates the phases of hair growth, rest, and shedding. This cycle includes the anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) phases, ensuring that hair follicles undergo a synchronized process of renewal and shedding. Understanding this clock is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair disorders like alopecia.
