Telogen effluvium is a form of temporary hair loss where a large number of follicles simultaneously shift into the resting (telogen) phase, triggering heavy shedding 2–3 months later. It is typically triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, hormonal shifts, or nutritional deficiency.
Telogen effluvium is a form of temporary hair loss where a physiological or psychological shock pushes a large number of follicles into the resting (telogen) phase simultaneously. Three months later, when those follicles cycle into the shedding phase, you experience a dramatic and sudden increase in hair fall. It is the most common cause of sudden diffuse hair loss.
Telogen effluvium doesn't happen during the stressor. It happens 2–4 months after it. The hair that falls out in month 4 was pushed into resting phase in month 1. This delay causes enormous confusion — people are no longer under obvious stress, feeling recovered, and then their hair suddenly starts falling in large amounts.
Acute: Shedding lasts less than 6 months and resolves as follicles reenter the growth phase. Most cases following a single clear trigger are acute.
Chronic: Shedding continues beyond 6 months. Usually involves an ongoing trigger (persistent stress, unresolved nutritional deficiency, thyroid dysfunction) or — critically — inflammation that persisted after the original trigger resolved.
Why chronic TE is hard to treat: The original trigger is gone, but scalp inflammation it caused is still running. The follicles remain in a shortened growth cycle because the tissue environment hasn't normalised. This is the gap ThriivX H3 addresses.
ThriivX H3 addresses the scalp inflammation that keeps telogen effluvium running after the original trigger has passed.
