HAIR GROWTH1. Mitosis at the germinal matrix make hair cells

2. Cells move upward through follicle as new cells push them up

3. Supply from papillae become less and they die

4. Keratin is added to the cells

5. Hair cells pushed out of the epidermis and can be seen now.

CYCLES OF HAIR GROWTH1. Anagen – growth phase

2. Telogen – resting stage

Length of hair depends on length of growing phase

2-6 years grow

Rest 3 months

Fall out

Average growth – ½ inch/month (5 “ year)

About 100,00 hairs on your head

Lose 70-100 a day, but are being replaced
