What happens to hair during the telogen phase?

During the telogen phase, which is the final stage of the hair growth cycle, hair is in a resting phase. At this point, the hair follicle is not actively producing new hair. Instead, the hair strand becomes firmly anchored in the follicle and will eventually be shed. This cycle prepares the follicle for the next anagen phase, where new hair begins to grow again. This shedding process is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, allowing for the continual renewal of hair follicles. In this phase, it is completely normal for hair to fall out as part of the cycle, making the answer correct.
