Stages of hair growth

The growth and loss of hair may seem like a simple process, but the hair growth cycle is actually composed of four distinct phases.

1. Anagen: Growing phase

The stages of hair growth begin with the anagen phase. It’s the longest phase, lasting about 3 to 5 years for the hairs on your head, though for some people a single hair could continue growing for 7 or more years. During the anagen phase, your hair follicles are pushing out hairs that will continue to grow until they’re cut or until they reach the end of their lifespan and fall out.About 90% of the hairs on your head are in the anagen phase.

2. Catagen: Transition phase

Only about 5% of the hairs on your head are in the catagen phase at any given time.

3. Telogen: (Resting phase )

The telogen phase typically lasts around 3 months. An estimated 10 to 15 % of your scalp hairs are in this phase.

Hairs don’t grow during the telogen phase, but they don’t usually fall out either. The telogen phase is also when new hairs start to form in follicles that have just released hairs during the catagen phase.

4. Exogen: Shedding phase

The exogen phase is essentially an extension or a part of the telogen stage of hair growth. During the exogen phase, hair is shed from the scalp, often helped along by washing and brushing. Losing 50 to 100 hairs per day during the exogen phase is normal.

During the exogen phase, which can last about 2 to 5 months, new hairs are growing in the follicles as old hairs.
