Exogen Phase: Understanding Natural Hair Shedding in the Hair Growth Cycle

At Estefarya Hair Transplant Center, we believe in a comprehensive understanding of the hair growth cycle, including the Exogen phase, to provide effective solutions for hair health and restoration. Recognizing the importance of each phase helps us address hair loss concerns with precision and expertise.

What is the Exogen Phase?
The Exogen phase, often referred to as the shedding phase, is a natural part of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, hair that has completed its growth cycle detaches from the follicle and is shed. This phase is a normal process that makes way for new hair growth.

Key Aspects of the Exogen Phase:

  1. Natural Hair Renewal: Exogen represents the body’s natural way of renewing hair. On average, a healthy scalp sheds 50 to 100 hairs per day as part of this process.
  2. Duration and Transition: The Exogen phase typically lasts around 2 to 5 months. At any given time, a small percentage of hair is in this phase, ensuring a balance between shedding and new hair growth.
  3. Indicator of Hair Health: Changes in the duration or intensity of the Exogen phase can indicate underlying issues with hair health or the presence of conditions affecting hair growth.
