Hair Growth Cycle Basics
- Hair grows in three phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting).
- Extending anagen phase supports longer hair while imbalance can cause excessive shedding.
Hormone Balance Impacts Hair
- Hair health depends on a hormone balance of estrogen, progesterone, and androgens.
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) harms hair follicles, causing thinning if unbalanced.
When to Consult a Dermatologist
- See a board-certified dermatologist if you notice unusual hair loss or changes.
- Trust your perception about changes in hair fullness, texture, or shedding as important cues.
