    GlossaryTelogen Ratio

    proportion of hair follicles in the resting phase

    The Telogen Ratio refers to the proportion of hair follicles in the telogen phase, which is the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. In a healthy scalp, about 10-15% of hair follicles are typically in this phase. A higher telogen ratio can indicate hair loss conditions such as telogen effluvium, where a larger number of hairs are shed.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  12 upvotes 5 days ago
      Finasteride may cause hair shedding as part of the regrowth process, but there are no controlled trials confirming this. The shedding idea is mostly based on anecdotal reports and comparisons to how minoxidil works.
