    GlossaryScalp Hair Growth

    process of hair cycling through growth, rest, and shedding phases

    Scalp hair growth refers to the process by which hair on the scalp undergoes a cycle of growth, rest, and shedding. This cycle includes three main phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). The duration of these phases can vary, but typically, the anagen phase lasts several years, allowing hair to grow to its full length. Factors such as genetics, hormones, and overall health can influence the rate and quality of scalp hair growth.
