Hair Growth Phases

Hair growth is divided into three different cycles of growth or phases. They are known as the Anagen. Catagen and Telogen phase.

Anagen is the growth phase. Catagen is the regressing phase. Telogen is the resting phase. Each phase also has an Exogen sub-phase, which is an exiting phase that is when hair tends to shed - when it’s reached the end of its cycle. Shedding is normal, and happens with any human being. We shed on average 100 hairs a day. If your hair is straight you won’t really notice it, however if your hair is curly you’ll notice the hairs when you touch your hair as they have been caught in the curls and come loose as you manipulate your hair. It’s not that you are losing more hair than before -but rather it’s more obvious than if your hair was straightened and it shed throughout the day on its own.
