Scientific Principles

Hair Growth Cycle Analysis

Understanding the three phases of hair growth and their implications for hair health.

Anagen Phase (Growth): 2-7 years, determines hair length potential

Catagen Phase (Transition): 2-3 weeks, follicle shrinkage begins

Telogen Phase (Rest): 2-3 months, hair sheds and cycle restarts

Disruptions in this cycle indicate potential hair loss conditions

Androgenetic Alopecia Mechanisms

The scientific basis of male and female pattern hair loss.

DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) sensitivity causes follicle miniaturization

Genetic predisposition affects enzyme 5α-reductase activity

Progressive thinning follows predictable patterns (Hamilton-Norwood scale)

Early detection enables more effective intervention strategies
