    Glossary Telogen Hair Follicles

    resting phase of the hair growth cycle

    Telogen hair follicles are hair follicles in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, which typically lasts around 2-3 months, the hair is not actively growing and is eventually shed to make way for new hair growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and about 10-15% of all hair follicles are in the telogen phase at any given time.
