    GlossaryTelogen Follicles

    hair follicles in the resting phase of the growth cycle

    Telogen follicles, also known as resting hair follicles, are hair follicles in the final phase of the hair growth cycle, called the telogen phase. During this phase, hair growth stops, and the hair is eventually shed to make way for new growth. This phase typically lasts around 2-3 months, and it is normal for about 10-15% of hair follicles to be in the telogen phase at any given time.
