    GlossaryTelogen Hairs

    hairs in the resting phase before shedding

    Telogen hairs are hairs that are in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, which typically lasts around 2-3 months. During this phase, the hair is no longer actively growing and is eventually shed to make way for new hair growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and it's common to lose 50-100 telogen hairs daily.
