    GlossaryTelogen-Anagen Transition

    shift from hair resting phase to active growth phase

    The Telogen-Anagen Transition refers to the phase in the hair growth cycle where hair follicles shift from the resting phase (telogen) to the active growth phase (anagen). This transition is crucial for the renewal of hair, as it marks the end of the shedding period and the beginning of new hair growth. Understanding this process is important for both diagnosing and treating hair loss conditions such as alopecia.

      The user has been using a strong combination of hair loss treatments for 16 months, including Finasteride, Minoxidil, Dutasteride, and RU-58841, but their hair loss has worsened. They're questioning whether their high testosterone levels or residual scalp DHT are causing further hair loss, with a reply suggesting that even small amounts of DHT can cause hair loss if one is sensitive to it.
