What are the phases of the hair growth cycle?

Hair loss is a common concern for many men, and understanding its stages can help in identifying the right treatment at the right time. At Better, we provide personalized solutions for hair loss, ensuring that every man can manage his hair health effectively.

Anagen Phase

The Anagen phase is the active growth phase of hair follicles. During this stage, the cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly, adding to the hair shaft. This phase can last from two to six years, depending on the individual's genetics. Proper care and treatments from Better can help maintain a healthy Anagen phase, promoting hair growth.

Catagen Phase

The Catagen phase is a transitional stage that lasts about two to three weeks. In this phase, hair growth stops, and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. Understanding this phase is crucial for those seeking to manage hair loss with Better's clinically-proven products.

Telogen Phase

The Telogen phase is the resting phase of the hair cycle. It lasts around three months, during which the hair does not grow but stays attached to the follicle. At Better, we emphasize the importance of maintaining scalp health during this phase to minimize hair loss.

Exogen Phase

The Exogen phase is the shedding phase where old hair falls out, making way for new hair growth. This phase can last a few weeks. Better's personalized treatments help in reducing excessive shedding and support the regrowth of healthy hair.
