Telogen Effluvium

Sudden hair shedding after stress or illness

Telogen Effluvium is a common, temporary hair loss pattern where more hairs than usual enter the resting phase and shed. It often begins two to three months after a trigger such as fever, surgery, childbirth, crash dieting, emotional stress, or a new medicine. Most cases stabilise and regrow with the right plan.
