This hair loss condition, which occurs mainly in
women, is usually caused by a temporary disturbance to the hair cycle
causing the growing (anagen) hairs to prematurely enter the resting
(telogen) phase of the hair cycle.
Stress, illness, medication, anemia, and weight
loss are the most common causes, however, many other factors can also
influence this condition.
The treatment for telogen effluvium depends on why the individual is losing his/her hair.
