The "hair cycle" has three phases: Anagen Phase - growth phase Approximately 85% of all hairs are in the growing phase at any one time.  212.644.6454 Telogen Phase - resting phase The resting phase follows the Catagen phase and normally lasts about 5-6 weeks.  Hair growth from the transplanted follicles generally begins at two-and-a-half to three months.  This percentage can be as low as 70% to 75% if regrowth doesn't begin until month four.  Transplanted hairs will generally continue to mature during the course of the first year of growth.  Hair grows approximately 10 cm per year, and any individual hair is unlikely to grow more than one meter long.
