terminaalikarvakasvua
Terminaalikarvakasvu, also known as terminal hair growth, refers to the stage in the hair growth cycle where hairs reach their maximum length and thickness. This stage follows the anagen or growth phase and precedes the catagen or transitional phase, which then leads to the telogen or resting phase. Terminal hairs are the coarser, darker, and longer hairs that are typically found on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic areas. They are distinct from vellus hairs, which are fine, short, and lightly colored.
The process of terminal hair growth is influenced by genetics and hormones, particularly androgens like testosterone.
