Have you noticed when you feel through your hair it feels thinner?

What you maybe experiencing is a form of hair loss called Telogen Effluvium. With the condition Telogen Effluvium your hair is going through a disturbance in your average hair cycle. The average length of time that you will be experiencing this cycle is 3-6 months. After the disturbance period the hair will begin to grow (fill in) again.

Telogen Effluvium is much different from permanent hair loss (alopecia). The hair usually grows back. Doing the growing process (anagen stage) the hair sprouts up through the scalp and pushes out the dead hair.

Telogen Effluvium can be caused by surgery, major trauma, grief, stress, extreme weight loss, diet changes, childbirth, abrupt hormonal changes high fever, severe infection or other illnesses. Start treatment as soon as possible to help strengthen your hair strands.

Your Trichologist can help with determining whether you are experiencing Telogen Effluvium in addition can prescribe treatments. At Eccentrics we prescribe personalize cocktails for your condition.
