Did you mean Telogen Count?

Glossary Telogen Count

number of hair follicles in the resting phase

Telogen Count refers to the number of hair follicles in the telogen phase, which is the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, hair is not actively growing and is eventually shed. A higher telogen count can indicate hair loss conditions such as telogen effluvium, where an abnormal number of hairs enter the resting phase simultaneously.

The Role of Hair Follicle Counts and Ratios in the Histopathological Assessment of Androgenic Alopecia, Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium: Does Counting 'Count'?

research THE ROLE OF HAIR FOLLICLE COUNTS AND RATIOS IN THE HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA, ALOPECIA AREATA AND TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM: DOES COUNTING ‘COUNT’?

March 2023 in “Human Pathology”

This review found that while follicular hair counts and ratios assist in diagnosing non-scarring alopecia, they should be used alongside specific morphological features for accurate diagnosis.

research Effects of platelet-rich plasma application on hair follicle count, telogen/anagen ratio, and miniaturized hair ratio in patients with androgenic alopecia: alone or in combination with other treatments

July 2025 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment”

research Correlation between Serum Ferritin and Haemoglobin Level in Females with Hair Fall Count in Females with Chronic Telogen Effluvium

June 2023 in “Annals of the College of Medecine”

This study found that childbearing women with telogen effluvium had significantly lower ferritin levels compared to healthy controls, and observed a strong inverse correlation between ferritin levels and the amount of hair shed, suggesting low iron stores may contribute to hair loss.

community Could Finasteride theoretically induce chronic telogen effluvium?

5 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced continuous hair shedding for 13 months after starting finasteride, suspecting it might cause chronic telogen effluvium, and considered switching to dutasteride or stopping medication. Other users suggested that finasteride doesn't cause hair loss, recommending dutasteride for more aggressive hair loss, while some advised against stopping medication.

community 25 F Diagnosed With Telogen Effluvium?

5 upvotes 10 years ago

A woman experiencing hair loss for over three years was diagnosed with female pattern hair loss and later with telogen effluvium, leading to a temporary stop of spironolactone treatment. She questions the diagnosis and treatment as her hair continues to worsen despite being advised to wait it out.

community what could cause seemingly endless shedding while on Fin?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing continuous hair shedding after starting finasteride and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding minoxidil. They are seeking advice on whether the shedding is normal or if it could be due to other factors like telogen effluvium.

community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice

5 upvotes 8 years ago

Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

community Effectiveness and Safety of Hair Growth Formulation Containing Tectona grandis L.f (Teak) Leaf Extract

in Chat 33 upvotes 1 year ago

Teak leaf extract shows potential as a mild hair growth promoter for androgenic alopecia, with similar positive trends to minoxidil but without significant side effects. It can be made at home using dried teak leaves and ethanol, though its effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride is debated.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

learn Azelaic Acid

azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work; for alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.
