Understanding the hair life cycle |
||
 |
| Hair's active growth phase is called anagen. During anagen, the hair contains an abundance of melanin. | Catagen is the regressive phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed. | The resting phase is called telogen, during which the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of new hair. |
