telogen
Follicle resting phase
Telogen is the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, when hair follicles are dormant before shedding.
Hair spends several months in telogen before falling out and being replaced by new growth.
Telogen effluvium is a condition where stress or illness triggers excessive hair shedding by pushing many follicles into this phase simultaneously.
