About Body Hair

Hair grows continuously as new hair cells are formed at the base of the hair follicle.

Androgens, a male sex hormone present in both men and women, activates specific areas of the body to produce hair.

Hair follicles grow in repeated cycles.

One cycle can be broken down into three phases.

1. Anagen - Growth Phase
2. Catagen - Transitional Phase
3. Telogen - Resting Phase

Anagen Phase - Growth Phase

• Approximately 85% of all hairs are in the growing phase at any one time.

• The Anagen or growth phase can vary from several weeks (mustache) to several years (scalp).

• The area of the body, gender and hormonal factors all have an effect on the length of the growth phase.

Catagen Phase - Transitional Phase

• At the end of the Anagen phase the hairs enters into a Catagen phase which lasts about one or two weeks.

• During the Catagen phase the hair follicle shrinks to about 1/6 of the normal length.

• The lower part of the follicle is destroyed and the dermal papilla breaks away to rest below.

• The dried up hair root is referred to as being "keratinized" or hardened and it acts as an anchor in the follicle for the shedding hair.

• Often the keratinized hair will remain in the follicle until new growth forces it out and the hair is shed.

Telogen Phase - Resting Phase

• At the end of the the Catagen phase hair enters the Telogen phase which normally lasts about five to six weeks.

• The hair does not grow but stays attached to the follicle while the dermal papilla stays in a resting phase below.

• Approximately 10-15 percent of all hairs are in this phase at any one time.

At the end of the Telogen phase the hair follicle re-enters the Anagen phase and new hair begins to form starting the growth cycle all over again.

Hair is continually shed and renewed by the operation of alternating cycles of growth, rest, fallout, and renewed growth.

Each hair passes through the three phases independently so the total amount of hair normally remains constant.

On average 50 to 100 hairs are shed each day from a total of around 150,000 follicles.

Conclusion: This information is essential to an understanding of why hair removal methods take time. It is not possible to disable all hair follicles at the same time for the reasons stated above.
