Phases of Hair Growth
Anagen Phase (growth phase)
A new hair grows from a hair follicle beneath the surface of the skin. The average hair will grow 1/2 inch (1cm) per month from 2 to 8 years. Active growth stage. The potential length of growth is determined by the length of the anagen phase. People with shorter growth phases cannot grow long hair. Those with longer phases grow longer hair. Approximately 90 percent of hair is in the anagen phase at any given time
Catagen Phase (transitional phase)
After the anagen phase the hair stops growing for a 2-4 week transition when the hair detaches from the blood supply. It signals the end of the active growth of a hair. Only 2-3% of your hair is in this state at the same time.
Telogen Phase (resting phase)
10-15% of your hair enters a resting phase that lasts from 2 to 4 months. As many as 50 to 100 hairs per day will shed during this phase and new hairs will replace the hairs that fall out.
