Hair Growth - Free information and reviews on hair growth



		*Hair Growth Continued...* The amounts of each type of hair and hair growth-cycles vary from person to person. That's another reason why it's tough to compare hair removal results between you and others. Depending on the body area, anywhere from 20% to 85% of hairs are in anagen (this is called the anagen/telogen ratio). Many hair-removal methods have been shown to be more effective on actively growing anagen hair. That means that a single treatment from a device cannot treat all your hairs. One last thing to discuss is potential follicles. Many follicles do not produce a hair, even though they have the potential to do so. Follicles can be activated by hormonal changes (like puberty, pregnancy, aging, etc.) or by other chemicals or medical conditions. That's why even after permanent hair removal, totally new hairs may grow.

Three types of hairs you might see on your skin: __________________
Vellus: these are tiny colorless hairs with the pet name "peach fuzz." __________________ Intermediate: these are thin hairs, but have some pigmentation. __________________
Terminal: these are deep-rooted coarse hairs, the ones we all hate. __________________

All hairs also have a three-stage growth cycle:
__________________
Anagen: active growing phase __________________ Catagen: a brief transitional phase __________________
Telogen: dormant phase until shed and replaced by a new anagen hair
