At Tricho Labs, we understand how alarming sudden hair shedding can be – especially when it feels like it's come out of nowhere. Telogen Effluvium is a common form of temporary hair loss, often triggered by stress, illness, major life changes, or nutritional deficiencies. It can affect anyone, but many men don’t realise how connected their lifestyle and wellbeing are to their hair health. Our Hair Loss Serum is designed to calm the scalp, support follicle function, and help restore density during and after periods of excessive shedding.
Your hair can bounce back – and we’re here to support the process.
Telogen Effluvium occurs when a higher-than-normal number of hair follicles shift into the resting (telogen) phase of the growth cycle, leading to noticeable shedding two to three months after a trigger. Common causes include:
Unlike pattern baldness, this type of hair loss is diffuse – meaning the hair thins evenly across the scalp rather than in specific areas – and is typically temporary if the underlying trigger is resolved.
Under normal conditions, only around 10% of hair is in the telogen (resting) phase at any one time. In Telogen Effluvium, this number can rise sharply, sometimes up to 30–50%, resulting in noticeable shedding during washing, brushing, or even while sleeping.
While the condition itself doesn’t cause permanent follicle damage, prolonged or repeated episodes can weaken the hair over time – making early care and recovery support important.
Telogen Effluvium is often self-limiting, but there are steps you can take to speed up recovery and protect hair health during the process:
Patience is essential – regrowth can begin within 3–6 months once the cause is under control.
