Abstract in brief

  • Hair follicles undergo a continuous cycle of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen), with the time spent in each phase affecting hair length and health.
  • Traditional beliefs suggest that 85%-90% of hair follicles are in the growth phase, but recent studies indicate that these values may not be accurate due to flaws in assessment methods.
  • A new examination of hair follicles during hair transplants revealed that catagen follicles (7.5%) are more prevalent than previously thought, challenging the established belief about the distribution of hair follicles in different stages.
