    TLDR Telogen Effluvium causes more hair loss because hair moves to the resting phase too soon.
    The document from 2018 discusses Telogen Effluvium, a condition characterized by increased shedding of hair due to a shift in the hair cycle. Normally, hair is in the growth phase (anagen), but in Telogen Effluvium, it moves prematurely into the transitional phase (catagen) and then to the resting phase (telogen), leading to increased hair loss. The severity of this condition can be evaluated using validated visual analog scales.
