What phase of the eyelash growth cycle are anagen lashes in?

Anagen lashes are in the active growing phase of the eyelash growth cycle. During this phase, the hair follicles are actively producing new hair. Anagen is characterized by significant cell division and is the longest phase in the growth cycle of a hair, which can last several weeks to several months for eyelashes. The actively growing hairs are typically stronger and darker as they are continuously fed nutrients from the follicles. This phase is crucial for promoting the overall length and health of the lashes, making it essential for maintaining a voluminous appearance. Understanding this cycle is key for lash technicians, as it informs practices related to lash extensions and care, ensuring clients receive suitable advice based on the current state of their natural lashes.
