What do we know about Hair?

Hair grows in cycles. For each hair cycle there are three phases

Growth Phase: - When the cells at the scalp start multiply rapidly, a new hair start to growth. Those cells, together with keratin and other proteins form the hair.

Transitional Phase: there is a period of 2-3 weeks after the growth of the hair stops.

Resting Phase: - usually lasts 2-3 months, when the hair follicle rests. At the end of this phase the older hair is shed, and a new cycle begin.
