Understanding The Hair Growth Cycle and What Happens Before You Lose Hair
Before significant Hair Loss, there are usually disturbances in the normal growth cycle.
Shortened Anagen Phase – Hair typically spends less time growing, resulting in thinner, shorter hair.
Prolonged Telogen Phase – More hairs will remain in the resting phase, and fewer hairs transition to the growth phase, leading to shedding.
Delayed Anagen Entry –Hair follicles may take longer to re-enter the growth phase after shedding, leading to visible thinning.
Conditions such as hormonal imbalances, stress, genetics, or illness can disrupt these phases, leading to excessive shedding or hair thinning before noticeable hair loss occurs.
Understanding this cycle helps in diagnosing and treating various forms of Hair Loss.
