Which of the following terms refers to the hair’s growth phase?

Telogen
Catagen
Anagen
Exogen

The correct answer is: Anagen

The term that refers to the hair’s growth phase is known as Anagen. During the Anagen phase, hair follicles are actively producing new hair, and this can last for several years, depending on individual genetics and other factors. This is a critical phase for hair growth, as it determines the length and thickness that hair can achieve. In comparison to Anagen, the Telogen phase is when the hair is in a resting state. The Catagen phase is a transitional period where hair growth slows down and the follicle begins to shrink. The Exogen phase involves the shedding of hair. Understanding these different phases is important in barbering and hair care as they help professionals recognize hair growth patterns and health.
