Every hair in the dog coat grows from a hair follicle, which has a three phase cycle, as in most other mammals. These phases are: anagen, growth of normal hair; catagen, growth slows, and hair shaft thins; and; telogen, hair growth stops, the follicle rests, and the old hair falls off—is shed. At the end of the telogen phase, the follicle ...
A dog's coat is composed of two layers: a top coat of stiff guard hairs that help repel water and shield from dirt, and an undercoat of soft down hairs, to serve as insulation. [1] Dogs with both under coat and top coat are said to have a double coat. Dogs with a single coat have a coat composed solely of guard hairs, with little or no downy ...
The hair of the Tibetan Terrier has a long growth cycle. As a result, their coat grows quite long and pet animals will require occasional trimming. [11] They do not shed like dogs with shorter hair growth cycles, but rather slough hair at a rate similar to that of most humans.

Scalp hair was reported to grow between 0.6 cm and 3.36 cm per month. The growth rate of scalp hair somewhat depends on age (hair tends to grow more slowly with age), sex, and ethnicity. [3]
Another mechanism involves a change in the hair cycle. [1] There are three stages of the hair cycle: the anagen phase (hair growth), the catagen phase (hair follicle death), and the telogen phase (hair shedding). [1] If the anagen phase increases beyond what is normal, that region of the body will experience excessive hair growth. [7]
