A ‘set’ of hairs representing the upper lip.
The pink boxes are the anagen phase hairs, beige boxes are catagen and the green boxes are the telogen phase hairs. The time axis is pointing downwards
(which is a bit odd – I know!!)
The first interesting thing I noticed is that the sum of the anagen, catagen and telogen phases represents all the hairs in that part of the body. So, in the diagram above which represents the arm pits, every hair can be represented by a total of 16 to 28 hairs since every hair will be in one of these ‘weeks’ (the anagen phase in upper lip hair appears to last between 8 and 20 weeks, apparently.
Now, I ‘killed’ all the hairs that were in anagen phase at week 0 – these are represented by the black boxes in the image below:
The black boxes represent all the dead follicles following treatment. In this case, these follicles were treated at week 0.
