During which phase does hair detach from the papilla?

  1. Anagen

  2. Catagen

  3. Latent

  4. Telogen

The correct answer is: Anagen

During the Anagen phase, the hair is actively growing, and the cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. The hair is attached to the papilla during this phase as it receives nourishment and continues to grow. It is in the Telogen phase when the hair begins to detach from the papilla, signaling the end of the hair's growth cycle. At this stage, the hair is no longer receiving nourishment and will eventually shed to make way for new hair growth.
