but as you get to a male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss situation many many more follicles are in a resting phase than in a growing phase before those ratios change and the hairs spend less time in a growing phase so the antigen phase starts to shore so that's one of the reasons why if you have someone with thinning hair whether it be male pattern hair loss in the hairline or female pattern hair loss let's say in the frontal zone right behind the hairline typically you can make a part with your comb and you can see these very very short kind of spiky hairs mm-hmm that is indicative of miniaturization and if you look at the microscopic level you'll see even shorter thinner weaker wispier hairs than that
