The hair`s life-cycle
Hair is born, lives and dies. This regular
cycle which is constantly renewed is called
the "pilary" cycle. It consists of three phases:
- The growth phase (anagen) which lasts from 2
- 7 years. 85% of our hair is in the
anagen phase.
- The resting phase (catagen) which lasts 2 -
3 weeks. 1 % of our hair is in the
catagen phase.
- The loss phase (telogen) which lasts 3
months. 14% of our hair is in the
telogen phase.
Each strand of hair which dies and falls
out is systemarically replased by a new one.
This pilary cycle is repeated 20 - 25 times in a lifetime.
