    GlossaryTelogen Effluvium (temporary 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.

      Accepting hair loss and not taking drastic measures like shaving your head if you are only mildly balding, and encouraging people to fight it with treatments such as finasteride, minoxidil, nizoral and microneedling. Additionally, it discusses the importance of being realistic when trying to restore hair and addressing the misconception that one must look a certain way in order to be attractive.
