Different type of Hair Loss and what triggers it?
Having Healthy Hair depends on many factors...
Nutrition, Hydration, Circulation, Scalp Health, and over all wellness
Your internal system such as your Hormones and Endocrine play an important role in maintaining balance.
Stress, Surgeries, Injuries, and inflammation also can contribute to hair loss/shedding
Three Phases of Hair Growth
Anagen
Categen
Telogen
The anagen phase is the active growth stage of the hair, lasting several years. During this time, hair follicles produce new, resulting in hair lengthening andening. The duration of the anagen phase can vary among individuals, influencing overall hair growth and health. Proper and nutrition can help support this vital stage for healthy hair.
The catagen phase is a transitional stage in the hair growth cycle, about two to three weeks. During this phase, hair follicles shrink, and the hair strand detaches from the follicle, preparing for eventual shedding This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and while it may contribute to hair loss, it is also essential for the regeneration of new hair growth.
Telogen is the third phase of hair growth, occurring after the anagen and catagen phases. this resting phase, hair follicles remain inactive, and hair may eventually shed as new hair begins to grow. This cycle is a natural part of hair renewal, typically lasting several weeks a few months. Understanding the telogen phase can help in managing hair health and growth.

Causes of Hair Loss
Telogen Effluvium
This type of hair loss it is often seen in women, it is temporary and it can typically last 6-9 months. It is triggered by stress, medication, dietary changes, surgeries, or severe illness. It can take up to 3 months to see the shedding once recovered from any illness.
Hormonal and Female/Male Pattern
This is commonly a genetic cause. For males, hair loss typically occurs on top and front of head
Where for women, thinning and baldness occurs on top and crown of the head.
For women it is a lot more noticeable when the part starts to widen, finer hair around the temples, pregnancy, stress, birth control, hormones.
Before Picture was taken on March 6th,2026, here you can see that the hair around the temple area is finer. I started using the Zenagen Scalp Densifiying Serum.
The after picture was taken on May 6th, 2026, you can see that in 2 months the density around the temple has increased.
Zenagen Hair Serum is ideal for those with fine, thin hair. It helps nourish the scalp, helps the hair look thicker and fuller. It also helps minimize shedding, and reduce the look of breakage. This will help stimulate the hair follicles for new growth creating more density in those areas
