The hair growth cycle is the stages of hair growth in healthy hair.
Healthy hair growth begins with follicle or root which lies underneath your skin. Your hair gets its nutrition from blood vessels which are found at the base of the follicle. They provide nourishment to the hair for growth. The human hair passes through three stages of hair growth in its lifetime.
The three stages of the hair growth cycle are:
Anagen
Catagen
Telogen
ANAGEN PHASE:
Anagen or growing phase is that phase of hair cycle when your hair grows. You would be amazed to know that your hair grows around half an inch per month. The speed is faster in the summer than in winter. Anagen phase is longest in Asians when compared to other cultural groups for example.
CATAGEN PHASE:
At the end of the anagen phase, your hair enters in catagen phase. This is relatively shorter period which lasts for approximately 10 days.
TELOGEN PHASE:
Last and final stage of your hair growth is Telogen phase. This is the phase in which your hair rests and is finally released out through the scalp. The follicles remain inactive for three months and then the whole process is repeated once again. It is good to know that each follicle is independent and goes through each phase of the hair growth cycle at different times. Otherwise, your hair would all fall out at once! This phase is longest and constitutes almost 5% of the hair growth process.
Various hair problems like hair loss and hair thinning occurs when this cycle is disturbed. This can be due to various problems including metabolic imbalances, illness or improper nutrition.
