    Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common type of non-scarring hair loss that is often self-limited and associated with various causes, with stress being the most prevalent. The complexity of TE's multifactorial causes makes it difficult to diagnose and treat, often leading to it being a "catch-all" diagnosis. This review aimed to explore the many aspects of TE, including the role of stress and COVID-19 related TE, its main clinical findings, differential diagnosis, and current and future treatment options.
