What is the final stage of lash growth known as?

The final stage of lash growth is known as the telogen phase. During this phase, the hair follicle is in a resting state, and the lashes are no longer actively growing. This is important for understanding the eyelash growth cycle, which is divided into three primary phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen.

Anagen is the active growth phase, where the lashes are actively lengthening. Catagen follows, marking a transitional phase where growth slows, and the lashes prepare to shed. Finally, telogen is where the lashes are fully formed but are not growing. They will eventually fall out, making way for new lashes to enter the anagen phase again. Recognizing the characteristics and significance of each phase helps eyelash extension specialists understand the natural growth cycle and plan their services accordingly.
