The science of hair loss

Trichology is the science of the structure, function and diseases of human hair. Two terms carry most of the field: alopecia — hair loss — and effluvium — excessive shedding at a stage of the hair life cycle. Understanding that cycle is what separates realistic treatment from marketing.

The growth cycle

Every hair follows the same three phases

Recovery means walking a follicle through its cycle, in order — it cannot be rushed, only supported.

01

Anagen — the growth phase

The active phase where the follicle builds new, thicker hair. Under-nourished follicles enter it weakly and exit it early. The protocol's job is to make this phase longer and stronger.

02

Catagen — the transition

A short window where growth slows and the follicle prepares to reset. Stress, deficiency and oxidative load push more hairs into this phase prematurely — which is what excessive shedding really is.

03

Telogen — the reset

The resting and shedding phase. Normal hair sheds here; recovering hair prepares its comeback here. You cannot skip it — you can only support the follicle so it re-enters growth healthier.

The hair growth cycle: anagen, catagen, telogen
The follicle cycle: anagen (growth) → catagen (transition) → telogen (rest) → anagen restart.
Why 90 days

The shortest honest window

A follicle takes roughly three months to move through its phases and show visible change. In 30 days, most follicles have not even changed phase — which is why a 30-day product measures nothing meaningful, and why our approved hair protocol is built on a full 90-day cycle.
