Hair growth follows a natural cycle with three phases: the growth phase (anagen), the transitional phase (catagen), and the resting phase (telogen). Hair stops growing at a certain length when it reaches the end of the anagen phase. This cycle length is largely genetic and varies from person to person. Ensuring a balanced lifestyle with good nutrition and hair care practices can support optimal hair health.
