The Hair Growth Cycle: What You Need to Know

  • 4 min. read
Hair is more than just an aesthetic feature; it reflects overall health and well-being. Understanding the science of a hair growth cycle helps you appreciate its complexity and changes over time. Whether you're dealing with hair loss, receding hairlines, or just want to maintain healthy locks, understanding your hair's growth patterns is crucial.



This article delves into the hair growth cycle, factors influencing it, and ways to promote healthy hair growth. We'll also explore professional solutions, such as hair transplantation and cosmetic treatments, to effectively address hair loss.

The Phases of Hair Growth Cycle

Hair grows in a cyclical pattern, comprising three primary phases: the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Each hair strand is at a different phase of this cycle at any given time, ensuring consistent hair growth.
  1. Anagen Phase (Growth Phase)
    The anagen phase is an active phase of the hair growth cycle, lasting anywhere from 2 to 6 years. During this period, hair follicles produce new cells, leading to continuous hair growth. The length of this phase determines how long the hair can grow before shedding. Factors such as genetics, nutrition, and overall health significantly influence the duration and efficiency of this phase.


  2. Catagen Phase (Transitional Phase)
    The catagen phase is a brief yet crucial transitional stage in the hair growth cycle, lasting approximately two weeks. During the catagen phase, your hair follicle shrinks, detaching the hair strand from its blood supply. This signals the end of active growth and prepares the hair for shedding. Although temporary, this phase is vital for the hair follicle to reset and transition into the resting phase effectively.


  3. Telogen Phase (Resting Phase)
    The telogen phase is a resting stage in the hair cycle that lasts around three months. During this phase, hair remains in place without growing as the follicle prepares to regenerate. At the end of the telogen phase, the hair naturally sheds to make space for new growth. This shedding is a normal part of the cycle, but excessive hair loss during this phase may indicate underlying issues requiring attention.


Recognizing these phases helps differentiate normal hair shedding from hair loss requiring intervention, such as a hair transplant procedure or other advanced treatments available at Advanced Hair Studio UAE (AHS).



Factors Affecting the Hair Growth Cycle

Numerous factors, both internal and external, influence hair health. Addressing these factors can prevent issues like thinning or hair loss.
  1. Hormonal Changes
    Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by conditions like androgenetic alopecia, disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to hair loss in both men and women.
  2. Stress and Lifestyle
    High-stress levels can push more hair into the telogen phase, leading to excessive shedding. Similarly, an unhealthy diet lacking essential nutrients can hamper hair health.
  3. Medical Conditions and Medications
    Certain medical conditions, including thyroid disorders, medications, and chemotherapy drugs, negatively impact hair growth.
  4. Genetic Predisposition
    A receding hairline or hair loss is often hereditary. If so, interventions such as hair transplantation can offer effective results.
  5. Poor Hair Care Practices
    Frequent heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and improper scalp care can damage the hair and scalp, accelerating hair fall.


To combat these factors, consider consulting a hair fall clinic like Advanced Hair Studio UAE for specialized treatments, including Strand-by-Strand Cosmetic solutions.



How to Promote Healthy Hair Growth

Taking proactive steps can help maintain the health of your hair and scalp, ensuring optimal growth.
  1. Balanced Nutrition
    Hair thrives on nutrients like biotin, zinc, and vitamins D and E. A nutrient-rich diet promotes strong, resilient hair.
  2. Scalp Care
    Regular scalp massages and gentle, nourishing shampoos improve circulation and keep the scalp healthy.
  3. Stress Management
    Reducing stress through mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation prevents stress-induced hair fall.
  4. Advanced Hair Treatments
    Professional solutions are sometimes necessary when lifestyle changes are insufficient.

  1. Hair Fall Treatment in Dubai
    Modern clinics like Advanced Hair Studio UAE offer advanced, non-invasive solutions to combat hair loss effectively.

  2. Hair Transplantation
    Hair transplantation is a very effective surgical procedure to restore hair in places of thinning or baldness. At Advanced Hair Studio UAE, expert surgeons ensure precise follicle extraction and placement for a natural, long-lasting appearance.

    The procedure involves relocating healthy hair follicles to areas where the hairline is receding or has been lost. Patients benefit from visible results over a defined hair transplant timeline, beginning with initial growth within months and full results within a year. With advanced techniques, this solution delivers permanent and aesthetically pleasing outcomes for individuals experiencing significant hair loss.

  1. Avoid the Black Market Hair Transplant

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
