Understanding Hair Growth Cycles
Hair growth occurs in distinct phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. The anagen phase is the active growth stage where hair is nourished, lasting from two to seven years, followed by a short catagen phase, which serves as a transition before reaching the telogen phase. Understanding these phases is crucial because improvements in hair health from treatment or supplementation cannot be expected to manifest quickly, as the growth cycle is inherently slow. Factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and life stages can significantly affect which phase the hair follicles are in and consequently influence overall hair health.
