COPING WITH TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM

Normal shedding of hair is about 50 to 100 strands per day and more than 100 strands per day is considered excessive hair shedding, this unfortunate event is called telogen effluvium.

Telogen is the resting stage of the normal hair growth cycle. The telogen stage comprises about 10 – 15% of all hair and lasts for about 100 days. At this stage the hair follicle is inactive or at rest, eventually the old hair will be extruded out of the hair follicle in preparation for new hair growth. As stated earlier, it is normal to shed 50 up to 100 hairs a day, those hairs that are being shed are actually telogen hairs. 

Effluvium on the other hand means “a flowing out” in Latin and medically, it means “a shedding”.

The cause of telogen effluvium is diverse and really depend from person to person. Stress is a common cause telogen effluvium , like stress from an expected operation or any other stressful experience. Other causes are child birth, hormonal changes, major illness, over-dieting and some medicines. Again, all of these events differ from person to person. For instance, not everyone giving birth will develop telogen effluvium but studies show that 50% of women giving birth experience it.
