Did you mean Telogen Hair?

Glossary Telogen Hair

hair in the resting phase before shedding

Telogen hair refers to hair that is in the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, known as the telogen phase. During this phase, which typically lasts around 2-4 months, the hair is not actively growing but remains attached to the follicle until it eventually sheds to make way for new growth. This is a normal part of the hair cycle, and it's common to lose 50-100 telogen hairs daily.

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 Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss

in Research/Science 5 upvotes 1 year ago

Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

learn Botox

Can Botox reduce chronic hair shedding? Whether Botox reduces chronic shedding is unknown: one very small 2022 trial in telogen effluvium had no placebo arm, and the blood-flow theory is unproven. Scalp Botox for hair loss is off-label, and all botulinum toxin products carry an FDA boxed warning.

learn Vitamin B12

How does Vitamin B12 deficiency contribute to hair loss and thinning? Severe vitamin B12 deficiency may contribute to diffuse shedding (telogen effluvium). It is not a known cause of pattern hair loss, and a blood test is needed to confirm a deficiency.

learn Baricitinib

Can Baricitinib work if my hair loss is from stress or anxiety? Baricitinib is approved for severe alopecia areata in adults, an autoimmune condition. It has not been shown to work for stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium) and carries an FDA boxed warning.

learn Azelaic Acid

azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, 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.

learn Omega 3

Can low omega-3 intake after a diet change weaken hair? There is no good evidence that low omega-3 intake causes hair loss or that adding omega-3 restores hair. If hair thinned after a diet change, ask a doctor to check for iron deficiency, low protein or calorie intake, or telogen effluvium.
