Health - Beauty - What Is Telogen Effluvium? Understanding Hair Loss Condition

Telogen effluvium is a common form of temporary hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the shedding (telogen) phase of the hair growth cycle prematurely. Unlike androgenetic alopecia, which is a genetic and often permanent form of hair loss, telogen effluvium is usually reversible and triggered by external stressors. These can include severe illness, childbirth, major surgery, sudden weight loss, extreme stress, or nutritional deficiencies.

In a healthy scalp, about 85-90% of hair follicles are in the active growth (anagen) phase, while only 10-15% are in the resting (telogen) phase. In telogen effluvium, this balance shifts dramatically, with up to 50% of hairs entering the telogen phase, leading to noticeable hair shedding. Most people first notice excessive hair fall while brushing, washing, or finding more hair on their pillow.

While androgenetic alopecia results in gradual thinning over time, especially in specific patterns (like a receding hairline or crown thinning), telogen effluvium tends to cause diffuse thinning all over the scalp without a receding hairline. This makes it important to distinguish between the two for appropriate treatment.

Fortunately, telogen effluvium is usually self-limiting, but recovery can take several months, and regrowth may not always be consistent without support. One effective product known to aid in recovery is Anable Hair Serum by Dermis Oracle. This advanced topical treatment helps stimulate the scalp, nourish hair follicles, and encourage regrowth by restoring balance to the hair growth cycle. Anable Hair Serum contains key ingredients that strengthen the hair shaft, improve scalp health, and reduce inflammation—helping the hair transition back to its growth phase more efficiently.

If you’re experiencing signs of telogen effluvium, early intervention is crucial. Managing stress, improving nutrition, and incorporating targeted treatments like Anable Hair Serum from Dermis Oracle can accelerate recovery and support fuller, healthier hair.
