    GlossaryTelogen Hair

    hair in the resting phase before shedding

    Telogen hair refers to hair that is in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, known as the telogen phase. During this phase, which typically lasts around 2-4 months, the hair is not actively growing but remains attached to the follicle until it eventually sheds to make way for new growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and it's common to lose 50-100 telogen hairs daily.
