What occurs after the catagen phase ends?

  1. Anagen phase

  2. Resting phase

  3. Shedding phase

  4. Telogen phase

The correct answer is: Anagen phase

After the catagen phase, the hair follicle transitions into the anagen phase, during which new hair growth begins. The other options listed are incorrect because B: The resting phase (also known as the telogen phase) occurs after the anagen phase and before the catagen phase, during which the hair follicle is in a resting state. C: Shedding (also known as the exogen phase) occurs when old hair is released from the follicle and makes way for new hair growth during the anagen phase. D: The telogen phase (also known as the resting phase) occurs after the anagen phase, during which the old hair sheds and the hair follicle enters a resting state before the anagen phase begins again.
