The hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. Pulling out a hair in this phase will reveal a solid, hard, dry, white material at the root. At any given time, 10 - 20% of all hairs are in the Telogen phase. This phase lasts for about 100 days for hairs on the scalp. At the end of this resting phase the old hair is pushed out by the actively growing new hair shafts, approximately 100 - 150 hairs per day. Note in the image that the hair is being extruded and replaced by fibrous tissue.
