Sudden Hair Fall? It Might Be Telogen Effluvium-But Don’t Panic

What Is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium (TE) is a temporary form of hair loss that causes more hair than usual to enter the resting (telogen) phase of the hair cycle. Normally, 10–15% of your hair is in this phase. In TE, that number can go up to 30–50%.

Common Triggers:

• High fever or infections (even COVID-19)

• Hormonal changes (thyroid, postpartum, PCOS)

• Crash dieting / iron or protein deficiency

• Emotional stress or trauma

• Certain medications

• Surgery or anesthesia

🕒 Hair fall typically starts 2–3 months after the trigger.

Is It Reversible?

Yes. Once the trigger is resolved and new hair re-enters the growth phase, regrowth begins. Most people see recovery in 3–6 months.

However, chronic or unchecked TE can trigger longer-term thinning if underlying issues are ignored.
