Medical Name(s)

Telogen

Alternate Name(s)

Resting Phase

The Telogen Phase is the resting period in hair cycling, generally lasting around three months before the hair is shed. A high ratio of follicles in telogen can produce noticeable thinning.

Older individuals may experience prolonged telogen states due to stress, hormonal shifts, or reduced scalp circulation. Addressing root causes helps restore more follicles to an active growth state.
