Growth of a trichome

So you can’t swing a dead cat w/o finding info explaining the 3 stages of trichomes and the “supposed” results of harvesting based on this mix.
My question is what part of the trichome forms first and is it common to see trichs that are just forming and only partially developed.
I know the trich fairy doesn’t come, in the middle of the night, and drop a fully developed clear trich onto the plant.
I’m talking about the stalked ones with the mushroom heads.
I realize that there are headless trichs along with at least one other variety.
Does the stalk appear first and grow the round head after?? And how long does it take a trich from initial appearance to being a completed one?
I’m seeing quite a few headless ones on a few of my buds and didn’t know if 1. My manhandling tendencies knocked their heads off, 2. They are the headless variety, or 3. They may still grow a head if that’s the way they grow.
Thanks for any info….I appreciate everyone chiming in.
