Q 11.
Does Future Hair Fall Out in the Same Hair Cycle?

Does future hair regrowth repeat in the same hair cycle after the initial hair loss?
Once many hair follicles begin new anagen phases simultaneously, will these hairs tend to fall out together for each future hair cycle again and again?
Do we have to suffer from temporary thinning of hair in every hair cycle in the future?

A 11.

Human hair follicle has an ingenious mechanism. Beginning of the next hair cycle is not synchronized with each other.

Starting time of the next hair cycle is different from each other between hair follicles. Some hair begins to grow earlier and other hair begins to grow later even within the same follicular unit.

Duration of the next hair cycle is also different from each other between hair follicles.

These difference in hair shedding for each hair cycle makes change of hair density undetectable. No one will suffer from noticeable hair thinning after the next hair cycle.
