TLDR Hair loss from telogen effluvium happens when a disturbance or imbalance causes hair to fall out prematurely.
The document from 22 years ago discussed Telogen effluvium (TE), a condition that can occur due to systemic disturbances or metabolic imbalances. These imbalances can cause an immediate anagen release (IAR), a process where hair follicles that would normally stay in the anagen phase prematurely enter the telogen phase and are shed 2-3 months after the initial cause of the imbalance.
