The final stage of the hair growth cycle is known as the Telogen phase, which
is characterized by a period of rest. During this phase, stem cells do not
produce new hair proteins. The bulb located at the base of the hair follicle
begins to constrict and detach from the surrounding tubes that connect to the
skin surface. This process ultimately leads to the detachment and death of the
hair follicle, resulting in the loss of stem cell population and melanocytes. Put
simply, during the telogen phase, the population of stem cells that generate
