Hair Growth Cycle

The hair growth cycle includes three phases, known as the anagen, catagen, and telogen phase. The anagen phase is the longest, lasting between two and eight years. During anagen phase, the hair grows actively from matrix cells in the bulb, where the dermal papilla is nourished by blood vessels. The next phase of the growth cycle is the catagen phase. This is a short, two to four week transitional period in which the hair stops growing, and the lower portion of the hair follicle retracts up to the level of the arrector pili muscle.

The dermal papilla is pulled until it breaks away and regresses, detaching the upper portion of the follicle from the blood supply. At this point, the hair stops growing. The last phase of the growth cycle, the telogen or resting phase, lasts two to four months while the dermal papilla is in a resting state. Following the telogen phase, the hair follicle reattaches to the dermal papilla and the follicle re-enters the anagen phase. As a new hair begins to grow, the old hair is pushed out of the follicle.
