    hair follicles are inactive, and hair naturally falls out

    The Telogen Phase, also known as the Resting Phase or hair shedding phase, is the final stage of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, hair follicles are inactive, and the hair strand is fully formed but not actively growing. This phase typically lasts around 2-4 months, after which the hair naturally falls out, making way for new hair growth in the subsequent Anagen Phase.
