Hair follicle growth occurs in cycles. Each cycle consists of a long growing phase (anagen), a short transitional phase (catagen) and a short resting phase (telogen). At the end of the resting phase, the hair falls out (exogen) and a new hair starts growing in the follicle beginning the cycle again.

Normally about 100 hairs reach the end of their resting phase each day and fall out.[citation needed] When more than 100 hairs fall out per day, clinical hair loss (telogen effluvium) may occur[citation needed]. A disruption of the growing phase causes abnormal loss of anagen hairs (anagen effluvium).
