HOW DOES A HAIR GROW?

Each hair has a growth cycle which lasts about 3 to 6 years and then it again restarts.

1 ANAGEN PHASE It is GROWTH PHASE of the hair in which continuous growth in the length takes place.Each hair grows from its root which is embedded in the skin and take its blood supply from the dermal papilla.At any given time about 85 to 90 percent of hair in the scalp are in Anagen Phase.This growth phase lasts for 3 to 6 years and after that the hair root gets Tired.

2 CATAGEN PHASE It is also called TRANSITION PHASE of the hair in which it gets disconnected from its blood supply. The hair stops growing and gradual thinning starts.This stage lasts 2 to 4 weeks.

3 TELOGEN PHASE It is also called RESTING PHASE of the hair .Usually 5 to 10 percent of scalp hair are in this stage at any given time.The hair progressively gets thinner and finally gets detached and falls off.Normally one loses 50 to 100 hair per day.

4 CYCLE RESTARTS After the hair falls, new hair follicle develops at the base of the dermal papilla and new hair starts to sprout from the same root. So in an average life span a person loses and regrows hair from the same root about 20 to 30 times

Interview: Dr. Niraj Kakkar on the Unauthorized Use of His Name After Relocating to Mohali
Question. Dr., why are people at your old Morinda clinic still using your name after you moved to Mohali? Isn’t that unethical?
Answer. I have relocated my practice from Morinda to Mohali. However, people at my former location continue to use my name and reputation without authorization, which is both ethically and morally wrong. They do not have a hair transplant doctor with experience comparable to mine. I have performed over 17,000 hair transplant procedures in 15 years and built a Google My Business profile with 7,000+ reviews, which was subsequently hacked by their staff.
Public Notice: Patients are advised that "Recover Hair Transplant Centre" (with Centre in the end) operating in Morinda is a duplicate clinic. The official Recover Hair Transplant established by Dr. Niraj Kakkar relocated to Mohali in January 2026. Please verify the official clinic before booking your consultation.
