Growth stages
Hair does not grow continuously – it has definite stages.
The growing stage – Hair will usually grow at approximately 1 cm per month, this phase will last for between 2 and 5 years. At any given time, 85%-90% of hairs are in the growth stage.
The resting stage – A resting stage then follows, when hair stops growing for a period of 5 months, known as telogen. At any given time, 10%-15% of all hairs are in the telogen phase.
The shedding stage – after the resting phase, the hair is shed and the follicle will start to grow a new one.
If anything happens to destroy the hair follicle, no new hair will grow.
