✨ The Hair Growth Cycle Explained (with zero boring science talk) ✨
Did you know your hair is basically living its best soap opera life? 🎭 It’s dramatic, it’s moody, and it’s always in one of three phases:
💃 Anagen (The Glow-Up)
This is the “I’m thriving” stage. Hair is growing strong, soaking up nutrients, and living its best life. Around 85–90% of your hair is here right now.
😴 Catagen (The Pause Button)
Think of this as the awkward “situationship” phase. It’s not growing, not falling out, just hanging around waiting to decide its next move. Only lasts a couple of weeks.
👋 Telogen (The Let-Go)
This is where your hair finally says, “Babe, it’s not you, it’s me,” and breaks up with your scalp. That shedding in the shower? Totally normal. Around 10–15% of your hair is ghosting you at any one time.
💡 Truth bomb: Losing 50–100 hairs a day is NORMAL. Your hair isn’t leaving you for good, it’s just recycling.
So next time you see strands in the plughole, don’t panic. Your hair is just doing what it does best: being extra. 😉
✨ Stay sassy, stay fabulous, and remember … hair fall today means room for new hair tomorrow!
👉 Save this for the next time your shower drain makes you cry 👀💇♀️
