Hair follicles are like tiny factories at the root of your scalp. They use protein to build hair, which gets delivered by blood vessels. Hair goes through growth, rest, and shedding phases, in a never-ending cycle.
There are phases:
- Anagen (growth phase): This is where the magic happens, lasting for years!
- Catagen (transition phase): The hair growth slows down for a few weeks.
- Telogen (resting phase): The hair gets ready to shed, and you might lose 25-100 hairs a day during this time.Don’t panic, it’s normal!
