Катаген (Catagen)

Catagen is one of the stages of the hair growth cycle that follows anagen and precedes telogen. During catagen, the hair follicle begins to shrink and become disconnected from the nutritional vasculature, causing hair growth to stop.

Catagen lasts about two weeks and during this period the hair has lost its active growth phase. The hair follicle shrinks in size and the hair is pushed out of the skin, but does not fall off completely. As a result, the hair becomes shorter and thinner, and its tip is close to the surface of the skin.

During catagen, the hair follicle remodels itself in preparation for the next stage, telogen. During this period, the follicle begins to “rest” in order to then resume its growth in the next active growth phase - anagen.

Although catagen is a temporary condition, it is of great importance for hair health. During catagen, the follicle is cleansed, which helps remove excess cells and oil, which can lead to healthier hair growth.

Overall, catagen is an important step in the hair growth cycle that prepares the follicle for the next active growth phase. Understanding this stage can help you care for your hair and keep it healthy.

Catagen, also known as Anagen, is one of two hair growth conditions that can be found on the scalp. In this condition, hair grows rapidly and actively, which can lead to weakening and breakage.

Catagen is a period of hair growth on the head that lasts about 2-3 months. During this period, hair is in the anagen phase and grows very quickly. However, once hair reaches a certain length, it begins to enter the catagen phase.

During the catagen phase, hair begins to slow down in growth and become thinner. This can cause hair to fall out, which can cause scalp problems.

To prevent hair loss in the catagen phase, you need to monitor your health and nutrition. Eating a healthy diet rich in proteins and vitamins can help keep your hair healthy and strong. It is also important to avoid excessive stress and overwork, as this can negatively affect the condition of your hair.

You can also use special hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners to help strengthen your hair and prevent hair loss.

If you notice that your hair has begun to fall out during the catagen phase, contact a specialist to get professional advice and help.
