The Hair Life Cycle


Each individual hair strand goes through different phases that constitute the hair’s growth cycle. As one strand may be in its first phase, another may be in its last phase. And that’s what makes life beautiful: change. So, what kind of life does our hair live...Keep reading to find out! 

Like previously stated, each hair grows at its own pace. Each strand has a follicle, or root, and these follicles receive blood and oxygen from blood vessels that nourish the hair, allowing it to grow healthy. There are four phases in the life cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen, and Exogen. 


This phase lasts between two to seven years and it’s what determines the hair’s length. What happens here is that cells divide themselves in the follicles producing new cells, which makes the hair grow since new cells are being pushed toward the surface. 

Hair Life Cycle

On this phase, the hair growth slows down and eventually stops. The hair retracts from the follicle and moves up. The stop in growth shows that the hair strand died. This phase lasts for about 10 days. 


This phase constitutes of the follicles’ inactivity, which lasts for about three months. The hair strand is ready to fall out when it has moved up enough to the surface of the root.


This is the last phase that the hair strand goes through, which is where it sheds and gives space for another hair strand to start growing from that follicle. 

On average, there are 100 to 150 thousand hair follicles in one’s head. It is completely normal to lose 50 to 100 hair strands per day. If you notice you’re losing an excessive amount of hair per day, you should contact your doctor. Hair loss can be caused both because of genetics or other triggering factors such as poor diet, stress, medical conditions and medications. The earlier the diagnosis, the greater the chances of effectiveness of hair restoration.

The Art Behind Hair Transplantation at New England Associates


Hair loss can be extremely devastating to an individual, both physically and mentally. Both men and women can experience thinning hair to complete baldness due to a number of factors including genetics, medications, Alopecia, and more. Although, many hair loss sufferers feel alone in their battle against loss, there are many solutions available today including both surgical and non-surgical procedures. If surgical restoration is an option for you, New England Associates is proud to offer Hair Transplantation.

Hair Transplantation dates back to the 19th century and has made some great advancements. The Transplantation method removes hair from the back or sides of the head and transplants this hair into the areas of balding. The back and sides of the scalp are ideal for transplantation as these hairs are genetically pre-determined not to fall out. Hair Transplantation is considered minor surgery and most patients experience a quick recovery time.
