    GlossaryTelogen Effluvium (telogen hair shedding)

    temporary hair shedding due to stress or hormonal changes

    Telogen Effluvium (TE) is a condition characterized by temporary hair shedding, often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. It occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase prematurely, leading to noticeable hair loss. This condition is usually reversible, with hair growth typically resuming once the underlying cause is addressed.

      This conversation is about a user struggling with hair loss who has been told by their barber that minoxidil does not work and the only solution is to accept it. Other users have encouraged them to continue using finasteride and minoxidil, as well as look for another barber, since these treatments are scientifically proven to be effective in combating hair loss.
