i cant even think of a stressful situation that happened to me..? all this stress is FROM the hair loss. i even did a blood test and everything was perfect i feel so hopeless at this point
have you changed your diet at all? that’s what triggered my hair loss. i did a blood test as well because i was hoping they could tell me if i was deficient in any vitamins but mine came back perfect too. /: now i just take a multi vitamin and a biotin vitamin. i also try to get a lot of protein in my diet. i’ve seen a small difference in the amount of hair i lose but not much.
@@taybae8620 i have changed my diet i started going into a calorie deficit to lose weight. at first it was a pretty drastic change but then i tried to eat a bit more calories. my stomach has gotten used to not eating as much so idk
@@ilovegsp Yes the diet is the reason for hair loss, the process of crash dieting already happen so you will have TE for the next half a year or so but will stop eventually
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have watched 100's of hours of UA-cam videos and this is by far the BEST video ever, for information, bless you young lady, you have given me hope. Sending you a hug.
Hi Dr Ashley. Thank you so much for such an informative video. I was diagnosed with this today after spending a few months in disbelief and embarrassment that I was losing hair. I finally plucked up the courage to see the doctor because fear creeped in that I might become completely bald if I just left it and this was adding to my existing stress. Just bite the bullet and see your doctor to put your mind at rest. Now to work on reducing stress... Thanks Dr Ashley.
I was in a cruise for 8 days and had a sunburned on my scalp. 2 months later I started losing a lot of hair non stop ,and the hair that grew was thin and weak and it constantly fell.I never had any sign of alopecia before the cruise. Its been now 14 months since then and the shedding stopped a month ago ,at last. hair looks quite thin and clear now ,hopefully now that shedding stopped it will get ticker and even
Thank you for the clarification cuz I had the most stressful year: homeless, custody issues, school full time, finances. My hair has always been fine but not like this and it’s super embarrassing for me. I wanna shave my head that’s how sad it makes me. Im trynna be patient. I barely eat and am trynna get back on track with this
Why is no one talking about stressor being a loved one passing. My best friend died 9/12020 and since I’ve been up and down wreck, but now late April 2021 I’m noticing an over all dentistry decrease and now I’m realizing as well my scalp is sore/tingly... sounds like TE
Love your explanation, i think most of doctors i make appointment is nothing can do for me. i start found my hair loss 2 months ago and can feel the hair volume is so thin over all. just a month, i found my hair fall very fast after my weight loss from 67 to 60 kg
I literally just cried. Thank you so much for explaining this. There's so much misinformation out there. I am having so much hair loss in the temporal area. I went to a dermatologist and trichologist to confirm the diagnosis (TE) but knowing doesn't make it easier. Nearly every day I wake up as I run my fingers through my hair in the temporal areas and it makes me so sad. What do you think about LLT? Ex. Hair max pro lazer comb etc.
@@user-pn6qh7nk5q I will wait for my biopsy results before taking any medicine. I barely even taken Advil. I just can't believe that this is happening to me I never thought that I would have this problem. Of all of the health issues out there just came as a complete and utter shock.
I have been going through alot since 2018 until now from being extremely sick due to tuberculosis and lymph node removal, pregnancy after plus gallbladder stones and gallbladder removal And now my mum is suffering from ALS disease which is killing me from the inside to see her like that so I am extremely depressed and shedding alot of my hair 😞😣
Hello...I am happy to see that you reply to the questions.....I wanted to ask I have been facing hairfall since past 6 months.. but not I can see small baby hairs but my hair fall hasn't stopped yet....can you tell how long does TE continues?...is it recovering ??
I have heard the fall out phase is about 3-6 months but can go longer especially if stress is a major part of your life. The more protein and vitamins you put in your body the healthier your hair will be.
Great video! Was wondering if Telegen Effluvium hairs regrown with minoxidil are minoxidil dependant if you stop minoxidil? I know thats the case with pattern baldness. Any response would be appreciated! Thanks
In Telogen effluvium people should not have the hair fall out after stopping minoxidil unless they have another bout of TE. With androgen baldness aka male/female pattern balding this is from testosterone attacking the hair follicle so the hair follicle with always be susceptible to it so when stopping minoxidil it will cause balding to continue.
@@doctorashley994 Thank you so much for answering this question! I was a bit skeptical when my Dermatologist suggested Minoxidil lotion cause I was worried about the same thing. It’s a relief knowing this. 😄
NOOOOO!!! Of course not! What is telogen effluvium? It's often due to stress, in example. NOT and never due to DHT! Male Pattern Baldness is due to DHT, and thus once you stop minoxidil, it CAN fall out again, due to DHT! But with Telogen Effluvium, the hairs have fallen out due to (in example) major stress events. 1. Male Pattern Baldness kills the hairs on scalp; 2. Telogen Effluvium makes the hair on scalpgo into sleep mode. You may re-activate them, if they do not regrow back after a while naturally, with minoxidil 5% and/or dermarolling 0.5mm. And stop using these things once the hairs have regrown back, cause TE has nothing to do with DHT which is a lifetime problem, and TE NOT!
Just wondering, if someone is diagnosed with TE and perhaps AGA, if they start minoxidil to take take the hair out of telogen phase into anagen phase, will that process progress AGA, Since now the telogen hair has been pushed out? My understanding from researching AGA - once the hair has fallen out, it won’t grow back. Can you please please clarify! Thanks so much.
Its been like 10 months for me of falling but it seems I have gotten a stressor every 3 months of the last year. 😢. Plus entering menopause which is a stress in itself added to the stress of losing the hair. Any recommendations to manage stress.
i have an eating disorder and just went through my first big breakup. my hair has been coming out like crazy and it makes me so upset. i just sit and run my hands through my hair and cry as it continues to fall and fall and fall.
Hi doc quick question. I have seborrheic dermatitis that I manage with Nizoral. If I don’t use nizoral my whole head is in scabs and itches. My hair over the course of a few years has gotten really long to my bum and thick, but I have thinning around the sides of my head and on top of my head. My part is probably the same as yours here in this video, which compared to where I was, is a significant difference and It’s progressively getting wider. Would this be considered TE or just a side effect of having seborrheic dermatitis? I wish I knew how to cure it but sadly I don’t. I ended up having seborrheic dermatitis after a hairstylist nightmare and my scalp was bleach burned off. Thanks! Plz reply.
Your condition seems a little more complicated given the dermatitis and tx options. If it is very severe you may have other options from a dermatologist. however if it is slow hair lost you could think about androgen alopecia-I do have a video on this as well-maybe it would help you.
YOUR EYES are breathtaking. Your hair is gorgeous. I think I have never seen such beautiful eyes like yours, you must be from an another planet. ;) Thanks for explaining doc Ashley.
Thanks so much for this! question - I noticed sudden hair loss about 8 months ago and i started using minoxidil (couldn’t see a derm) anyway within a month i saw crazy growth and when I saw a derm she said it def looked like TE. For the last two months, however, I’ve been losing crazy small hairs?? Which has never happened before & im still using minoxidil. My hair btw is extremely thick and I’m like 20% away from normal density. Any idea? I got crazy vellus growth on my neck/face from minoxidil so i wonder if it grew the same on my scalp and now it’s shedding bc it’s not really strong/getting minoxidil (which I’m slowly weaning off of starting this week). My derm said that sometimes hair loss can’t easily be categorized into a bucket & didn’t think it was AGA. Thoughts? It’s driving me nuts! I lose so many. (For context: I had severe stress, depression, over processed/burnt hair and a vitamin d level of 7 before I noticed my hair loss - no miniaturization)
My only thoughts could be with chronic TE a person can have recurring hair loss vs when using minoxidil it causes some hairs to switch from telogen to Anagen and that hair will fall out when this happens vs having androgen allopecia and those were the miniaturized hairs that are falling out with the minoxidil use. Make sure the minoxidil is completely dry before bed because it will get on your pillows and cause it to spread to your face/neck or consider a head wrap.
Doctor Ashley super helpful! I went through the dread shed of minoxidil from April-June/July-ish and then the tiny hairs (which are all over everything now!) started in September and worsened in the last 3-4 weeks. I’m just hoping it’s not AGA - I’d def be the first woman in my family to get it! >_< it’s giving me really bad anxiety & depression. Good point re: letting it dry... I didn’t even think about how it’s getting on my face. You’re a gem, thank you.
Can thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s cause TE? As I’m experiencing hair loss/excessive shedding and I am currently being investigated for possible low thyroid/Hashimoto’s, thanks for the video very interesting 😊
@@doctorashley994 was your hair like this as shown in the image when I click the video i.ytimg.com/vi/yDyeLnDSHQc/maxresdefault.jpg Mine is similar when I part my hair. Started when I rapidly lost weight and just recently in so much stress. Not getting enough sleep. My hair all over feels less dense but I don't notice complete hairloss. Does telogen effluvium take longer in some cases.
I have a question. I've yet to go to my doctor but I'm pretty sure this is what I have. I've lost so much hair and I've always had thick curly hair. My scalp tingles/ burns. Is this normal?
I have had chronical stress for 6 months now and my hair has become extremely thin now on top. Normally I have a lot of hair. I’m a 21 year old male, how can I fix this?
If it is TE it will take time to grow back. If it is androgen alopecia then you will need medicines to keep it from worsening. Stress is related to TE.
Does Minoxidil work for non chronic forms of TE? I was diagnosed with TE just based on what I explained to my dr. No pull test, no blood work. He just said wait it out. Been a over a month and still falling out like crazy.
You might notice that it will continue because the hair is going into the rest phase. It can take about 6m until you start seeing it grow again. Minoxidil can make the hairs go into the growth phase but this will also take months to see any improvement. TE can be based on the history however if it doesn’t get better than you Might want to see if anything else is causing it vs chronic form
I started having hair fall as a result of getting on depakote... it seems like I’m not losing anymore. Do you think that it will get better as I stay on the meds?
Hello Doctor, I have been suffering from horrific hair loss for about six months and have lost a large amount of it 😔 and it has become very light I have done all the tests I have no shortage of vitamins My question is whether I suffer from tolgen effluvium or androgenic alopicia and does the androgenic hair loss come suddenly and In a large amount?
Androgen alopecia usually happens over a longer period of time. TE is faster and within months. The test can all be normal for TR but if you went through something very stressful then you could look into that being the problem. I will post an androgen alopecia video this week.
I've been researching for HOURS about how to tell if I have hair loss; am I making this up? Is this genetic? Is it from friction? Chemicals in my water? Am I nutrient deficient? No, I eat well and I get plenty of sun... so on, so forth-- it wasn't until you said hair loss can happen 6 months after a traumatic event that I started laughing and crying with relief and revelation. Everywhere else I looked said 3 months and I was thinking, "Nothing in particular happened 3 months ago." But 6.... oh yes. Tendonitis in my drawing arm. I'm an artist. I went into a MAJOR depression over losing my ability to draw for the long term. 6 Months later my arm is better (not 100% but better), and out of nowhere, hair's falling out around my temples. Thank you. Now I know this is just temporary. I can rest easy.
Yep stress is the main factor, I broke my leg last June while on lockdown from Corona and my partner left me, my stress was through the roof and that's what started mine.
does telogen effluvium go away I was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin D AND and autoimmune disorder plus i am a stressful person idk what to do ): i went to the doctors the dermatologist was not very helpful at all
I'm not sure if I have TE because I am not clinically diagnosed. But my hair shedding started 6 months after a distressing event and is going for a 17 months now, but it doesn't shed constantly, it's like recurring. I noticed of I am very stressed or sleep late the hair fall is worst and if I spent days without that much stress, there's not much hair fall. What can you say about this? What should I do to stop the hair from shedding ?
It could be chronic TE. I would see a dermatologist and perhaps ask for some solutions for helping to intervene and to help dictate prolonged regrowth.
I am a guy going through TE, its been about six months ish, my shedding has slowed down. Should I wait it out and see if my hair grows back naturally? or should I jump on Minoxidil/Rogaine to help with the regrowth? Is it possible to use minoxidil/Rogaine temporary til my hair grows back or will I have to use it for life if I decide to go that route? Thanks!
Wait!!! Wait it out because as you know TE is temporary, your hair will become dependent on minoxidil and rogaine and by the time you finish using it, your hair will fall out again. Give it time
It should grow back. You will probably need a year to see if it is growing. If you notice that you have more stress and your hair falls out more during this time then you can think about the treatments for chronic TE
I'm a guy too and i ve been suffering from it for 13 months due to an excessive uv rays exposure ,hair grow but thinner and clear minoxidil might help to thicken it
@@Soniyah-yq1fd LOL not crying!! No, minoxdil will not make your hairs ''dependent''. Yes, you can STOP using minoxidil once the hairs are regrown back. Period.
Dude, you can stop using it once the hairs have regrown back. don't listen to ignorant people, be it so called laymen! I had telogen effluvium for a good 3, 4 years. HAir diffused all over scalp (side scalp, mid scalp, crown, hairline, side hairline, temples etc.) After taking minoxidil 5% twice or once a day, doing scalp massages and 0.5mm dermarolling - and removing all stress with meditation/yoga, I started getting all my hairs back in max a month! And I stopped, all hairs have stayed thick and dense for years now! When you have Male Pattern BAldness, yes, then it might fall again because of the hormone DHT! But if you have Telogen effluvium, you might need to stimulate your sleeping hair follicles to grow back again by using in example minoxidil or dermarolling, or iron/zinc if you need them. And since TE has NOTHING to do with DHT, you don't lose your hairs again after stopping minoxidil. With Male Pattern Baldness, the hair follicles dies. While with Telogen Effluvium, the hair follicles go in to sleeping phase, sometimes for even years. But eventually it will be healed, be it by helping stimulating them with i.e. minoxidil, or be it naturally. This person soniyah 8202 is very ignorant and pretty silly! I mean how long you have to wait, 2, 3, 4, 5 years or more?! Of course not! And thus you need to stimulate the follicles to grow back AGAIN, and then you can stop using the activator serum (i.e. min). PS: Soniyah 8202, rogaine IS minoxidil lol. And don't be so hysterical.
Hi Dr I was diagnosed with TE in Jan 2020, and i'm still shedding it it's down to +-40 hairs per wash. I try to eat healthy and I take vitamins, in aug 2019 I had a concussion not sure if that is why the process is taking longer for me.I also had my hormones, iron levels ect tested all came back fine. My hair is thinner but I have no bold spots luckily. Is there anything else I can do?
Seems like you are doing better. I’m not sure if you have more ongoing stress. If you notice increased loss of hair at times then think about chronic TE
I just spent an hour crying! I had TE 2020 when I first found out about my Graves’ disease. It stopped after 6 months, 2021 my hair grew back a lot, not fully but it was great! Beginning of 2022, I started losing hair, and still losing. My thyroid is under control, diet is great, I take daily vitamins, only thing I could think of is I had COVID in December…I feel hopeless, all the hair I grew back is now gone. My new Derm says she doesn’t think it’s TE, but she barely even pulled my hair, and she pulled at the scalp. I’m scared it could be alopecia, but I’m almost certain it’s TE. My concern with minoxidil is I’ve heard once you stop using it, your hair will begin falling again…what do you think about this ? Thank you.
@@prometheus6853 Bullshit! I'm a doctor and that's not true! Because telogen effluvium is NOT caused by DHT, but due to stress in example. and thus the hairloss will be temporary and not permanent. And thus, it will regrow back eventually. But you can stimulate it with minoxidil, and once the hairs are grown back, you need to stop! Hairs will stay on the scalp, since it has not to do with DHT (which is the cause of hairloss called Androgenetic Alopecia.)
No Kat, you CAN stop minoxidil after hairs are grown back. PERIOD! The hairs fall out to people with Androgenetic Alopecia aka Male Pattern BAldness, Telogen effluvium has NOTHING to do with androgenetic alopecia, which is mainly caused by DHT hormone. Telogen effluvium is due to stress, in example, and often it stay for years (also called chronic telogen effluvium) and by using minoxidil or dermarolling 0.5mm, you can stimulate the hair follicles to grow back. After they are back, ofc its better not to stress much, and you can stop using minoxidil.
Hi Doctor Ashley! Thanks a Lot for your great Video! I wanted to ask you something. Shedding was for 3 months terrible and hair falled like the rain. I can now see a Lot oft little baby hair and hairgrowth. However my hair are still shedding since 3 months, it slowed down but it isnt like before TE began. Do you think that minoxydil or something else can help the telogen Phase to stop or should I have to wait and be Patient that shedding more reduce? Thanks a lot for your answer
I really hope you will answer my question. I have since March 2020 hair loss it was sudden And a looot. I cried everyday literally... I did a trichoscopy and they told me I have TE but when I saw a dermatologist he told me it could be AA because I have some thin hairs ... I am lost I cannot afford another appointments to have a second diagnosis... My hair lost is diffuse help me please. I have another question : can the hairlost from PCOS be stopped ?
You could very well have both. Women with pcos are likely to have Androgen alopecia. If a person also had fast and diffuse hair loss it associated more with TE. I have another video about androgen alopecia- female testosterone
@@rainbowskies5796 i have graves disease (hyperthyroidism) and for PCOS it is strange because I have my periods regularly and my hormones are all goods ( male hormones are low too) but the doc found little cysts on my ovaries with an echo. Do you have hair problems now ? Did you reverse hairloss ? Does your hair grow back ?
@@elbekaymenasra5470 yes my hair did grow back. Quitting a stressful job, sleeping more, and taking collagen supplements helped a lot in addition to metformin. I also have cysts on my ovaries, very painful periods, but taking a progesterone birth control helped a lot with cysts and painful cramps. It took about 2-3 years for my hair to grow back.
Thank you doctor!!! I just received my diagnosis from my scalp biopsy. I am in the catagen-telogen phase and they suggested Telogen Effulvum, androgenic alopecia, or areta (which I ruled out because I don't have circular balding). I thought the biopsy would indicate whether it was FPHL or TE as they are treated very differently. I feel as though I've had a few traumatic stressor including the pandemic which has hit finances so I believe it to be TE. So my question: what does scalp biopsies tell us about hair loss? Can it determine between the genetic and the traumatizing?
Kendra Morgan Official the scalp biopsy would be more to rule out an inflammatory or scarring conditions like alopecia areata but we wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell the phases of the hair growth. TE can be diagnosed by history and if someone has experience a stress then had hair loss or chronic hair loss associated with multiple stressors.
@@KendraMorgan You need to know that androgenic alopecia doesn't happen suddenly. if your hair has always been thick enough and now you have a sudden hair loss because of one of the reasons mentioned in the video above then it's probably TE because FPHL happens gradually over time and you would've noticed it years ago. TE makes hair very thing and visible scalp all within only few weeks or months.
@@Ghanini thats very nice to know! The dermatologist said that it was FPHL and that there it was not likely TE. I argued it but he said that genetics will trump anything else and then finally agreed to disagree and stated that the TE kicked off my FPHL. 🤷♀️ so maybe a chance its not FPHL
Doctor I have a question.. I was very sad for around 3 months beacuse a family member just passed away, does this mean I could get chronic TE or just normal one? I'm trying to do things to be less stressed and sad
If a person has recurring stress such as what you are going through then it is possible. I am very sorry to hear about the family member. Please make sure to take care of yourself as well.
Hi doctor. Can I ask something My hair is falling too much since 2 months i went to a doctor and had a blood test but everyting was normal. They also looked my scalp but it was fine too so they told me its probably stress they didnt tell anything about te. Do you think this can be Te?
There is definitely ways to regrow your hair but it depends what kind of hair you are suffering from. Your primary care doctor may be able to help you figure this out before you go to a dermatologist. I will be adding a video soon about androgen alopecia.
Hey doc. Is there any other reason for hair miniaturization.. other than AGA? My testosterone is normal...i am vitamin D deficient and have low ferritin.
I’m going through exactly what ur going through low vitamin d and ferritin of 15 my hair is shriveling up literally . Like miniaturizing . And thinning all over.
Hi Dr. Ashley! How can I communicate further with you? Do you have an Instagram or email? I have a few clarifying questions on the information you shared. Really great video! Thanks
Yes!! I have TE based on doing alternate day fasting. The time line works perfectly for me. 3 months prior to my hair falling out I started the fasting. I stopped! Not worth it!
Hi I’m 19 and a female and got diagnosed with TE. I believe it was caused by a really bad breakup. Though I’m on month 7 now. If it is chronic TE can it be recovered ? I have not tried anything on my hair is there something I should be trying ? I want it it to stop so bad.
TE takes a while to start seeing hair grow again. A break up is definitely a big stressor. If it continued then consider going to a doctor to have it checked out.
Hey, due to covid I lost my job in March, then had a very stressful IUD pose in April, and went through a few stressful jobs in the following months. In August I started noticing a lot of hair loss up to November, calmed down in December and then started losing hair again up to now. I have small thin hairs falling as well as long normal hairs. I grew these hairs in August-November when I was very stressed out due to my hair fall. I know losing short hairs is common in TE when it lasts a long time, but I do have some thin new hairs I am slightly concerned with, just like you are. It's reassuring that both our stories are the same with a similar time-line, could very well be only TE
Please reply❤️ I am only a 14 year old girl who lost a lot of weight during quarantine and only realized after 4 months. Now my hair has been falling out like crazy and it doesn't seem to stop. This morning I pulled out like 50 strands and it's continuing to shed. Please reply I am so scared.
Hi, thank you so much for this video. Can this be triggered by extreme lack of sleep (I spent over 6 months with less than 6h of sleep daily because of exams)? I also had low ferritin even though I didn’t have anemia and it seemed to mess with it too, but even with normal levels the hair did not recover. I was diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia combined with Telogen Effluvim (with Tricodomia). I was wondering if you think PRP or low light laser therapy works since my hair seems to be progressively worse and not recovering at all or responding to the treatments prescribed in the last 4-7 months.
depending on the treatments that you are doing you may not see any improvement for up to a year, there is not much research to say PRP or laser therapy is the answer here. Definitely keep trying. I have a video on androgen alopecia if it will help you- the female testosterone video.
@@doctorashley994 The treatment I am on is Finasteride, Corticosteroids and Anagen serum stimulators combined with vitamins. I had to ditch corticosteroids after 4 months though, since the side effects were too extreme on my body and were not subsiding and only getting worse (inability to walk due to loss of balance for hours and extreme skin thinning and bruising from just getting dressed). I have experienced shedding, which I was told it was normal from Finasteride, but my hair is 3 times worse and I see no significant hair regrowth whatsoever after 5 months. The shedding has slowed in the last few weeks but I felt like it accelerated and made my condition progress instead of stagnating. I have watched virtually almost all videos and read research papers on it and it seems that there are not very good answers for hair loss in women.
Hello doctor .I am male and suddenly my hair start falling .it,s on my pillow ,shower.3 months ago I was in stress also and I had take medicine about 2 months.so it,s telogen effluvium.plz reply
Dose telogin effluvium cause hair minturized or change hair into vellus hair or not .I am man due to depression I lose my 50% density of mid frontal scalp.my hairline is fine but my hair loss looks like female hair loss.diffuse manner.I losed 50% hair within a year .now hair loss is stable. And acne on my face has gone.
TE does not cause miniaturization of the follicle. It will take a while to notice the hair growing back because it takes a while for it to actually grow. If your hair never grew back in some of the places then I would think about androgen alopecia. It is very possible that you could have had TE and some androgen alopecia. If you have family with hair loss then you will be at risk for androgen alopecia. Androgen alopecia will slowly lose hair until one day you wake up and realize you can see your scalp. I hope that helps
But my hair loss is due to depression .I losed 50% density within a year .now my scalp is visible. I should take prp.for hair grow .dose prp effective in telogin effluvium.
I have pcos and irregular periods.last year my doctor just told me to take birth control medication because my irregular period.A few months of taking birth control pills on October I noticed my hair fall is just increasing. I have lost a huge amount of hair and now I am noticing a few ammount of baby hairs than before.But still my hair fall hasn’t stopped. Am I facing telogen effluvium?? Please Doctor help me..🙏🙏
@@rufaidaanzum2623 right now I decided to stop taking bc pill after 1 year and 3 months and I'm going to see what's next. The pill caused me terrible mood swings and anxiety and I'm hoping that this will be solved. Right now I think I'm traumatised by my hair fall and whenever I see hair on the floor I immediately get anxious but it's totally normal to lose up to 50/100 hairs per day. I went to a dermatologist and I found out that I also had low ferritin and I'm trying to recover from that.
Did you stop using rogaine after your diet or stress was better? I have chhronic telogen effluvium and if i fix my diet and all that while taking rogaine, can i stop taking it once im better? And will my hair fall out if i stop using it AFTER im better?!!
I had TE from August to November (3 months). My triggers were wedding planning during a pandemic and moving to a huge city and starting a new job. It was diffuse thinning but I noticed my bangs area seemed thinner. I have noticed a TON of new short hairs sprouting everywhere, especially when I part my hair in the middle. However, I have noticed that (I think) I’m losing some of the new hairs. Is this normal as my body gets back on track? I am so worried this could be AGA. My grandparents all in their 90s have full heads of hair. My parents and sisters and aunts and uncles literally all have extremely thick hair. Not one single person male or female in my family has thinning. I have seen two dermatologists who have done pulls tests that were positive and didn’t notice any thin/bald spots and diagnosed me with TE based on that + my history. Please advise on these few short hairs falling and if it’s normal for TE recovery. Thank you so so much!
I hope once you get treatment for you thyroid it will get better. If a person continues to loose hair then minoxidil can help with the growth cycle however once starting people may see more hairs fall out because the hair is transitioning to the growth cycle and it will take time to see any results.
@@jonsanmigel4226 I don’t think I had corona, the stress from job loss caused mine plus having to move 3 times.I saw somewhere that covid is causing hair loss though🙁
@@Sum-zb7yu Ahh gotcha that can be stressful!! I am wondering myself actually. I had Covid in November and in December started losing my hair. I wonder if covid really does cause hair loss!
@@_nickilodeon It is interesting you bring that up, yes my scalp has felt sensitive ever since, almost sore to the touch. I had caught covid november 23-Dec 1st. My hair went from curly and very very thick (I have always been known for my full head of curly hair) to severely thin. Scalp visible, basically I have to try and cover my bald spots. The hair loss was all over my head. Not a receding temple or at the crown. I still feel as Covid is what caused this
Doctor pls tell how much time TE last??? Mine has been 8 months shedding slow down but does not completly stop ...still 4 5 strands comes out when i touch my hair
It definitely will take time especially since seeing the actual hair growth as in growth of a couple inches takes even more months. If it continues then you May think about chronic TE.
@Snake Eyes Xbut mine came out 5 6 strands everytym when i touch my hair it almost 8 months now...Before TE i lose only 5 10 strands daily on wash day ..otherwise 2 3 strands when i comb..not when i touch my hair...am so tensed ..when it stops?
I have a question I have a ferritin level of 10 for quite sometime now but my hair is like shriveling up and shedding and thinning. No female in my family had hair loss so I’m confused if the iron level is causing this . Mind you I’ve had low iron for quite a while but haven’t experienced hair loss until maybe 3 years ago I noticed it was shedding like crazy. My doctor wants me to get better control of my iron before I see a dermatologist to see if I have female pattern hair loss. Most of my hair loss seems to be front hairline receding
I think it it a very good ideas to get the ferritin normal. Your body used iron to make new cells so it is essential in the growing process. If you has any added stressor your body may have experienced TE worst since the ferritin is low already. I think it is too early for derm because they will probably ask why the pcp send you before the ferritin level goes to normal. Once your pcp has ruled out the causes then it would be appropriate to see a derm. Goodluck with the hair growth process. If you notice scarring after hair loss then this can be much different than TE.
@@doctorashley994 thanks for the advice . I’m trying to get my ferritin level up to a 70. As far as like scarring I’m not to sure, the hair at my hairline turned into fuzzy baby hair very fine and short like hair on your arm. So I’m thinking the hair follicle is still attached just not growing what so ever .
I’m going through the exact same thing you’re the first person I’ve found with the same situation as me. My hairlines receding a bit and my ferritin was a 14 about 5 months ago and I haven’t got it rechecked. I’ve been taking supplements and have been shedding so so much since April so about 5 months total. I’m confused as to what I have I’m hoping I can regrow what I’ve lost tho because it’s a lot...
@@Abby-je6nj yeah your not alone or sucks . I have general thinning all over and shedding a lot just cause I think the hairs are coming out so weak and thin. Haven’t checked my ferritin yet but it was still stuck around the 10 range. And I wanted to go see a dermatologist just to see if it’s the iron or something else . But I do know once your iron levels start going up you start shedding more like rapid shedding I heard it’s normal it’s just getting rid of the bad hairs I guess.
Mine started falling out 10 months ago and still falling although not as much as before. I'm confused because I have lots of new growth coming in but still shedding at the same time. Doctor said TE normally only lasts between 3 and 6 months but mine is nearly a year. I have lost about 70% of my hair now and this is what keeps me stressing, so sad 😞 I feel sad for anyone going through this x
Shraddha Prasain you should try to get some blood work done and look into treatment. I’m not sure if you have been under chronic stress or if you may have androgen alopecia
@@doctorashley994 i did a blood test 3 years back. Apparently i had vit D deficiency . Rest were all within the reference values . Thank you for your reply.
Shraddha Prasain I would see if anything has changed. 5 years is a long time and can be very stress full in itself. I think it is time to look into treatment if you have not already
@@doctorashley994 5 years i started with my college . I think the study stress must have been the trigger for it . I even consulted the dermatologist . She just referred to the results sent to her by my G.P . She also gave me a prescription to buy Alline Proccap which didnt help at all . Thank you for your suggestions .ill get my blood checked again and look for the treatment as soon as possible .
Hi. I am now in my month 7 of Telagon Effluvium. I started to see some re growth and I think that I do not lose that much hair as 7 months ago. Is that the end of loosing hair? Last year, on spring I didn’t have my period for almost 4 months and I lost 15 kg in 3 months. Also I was very stressed because of school and I also adopted a dog last year so it was very stressful to teach the dog every thing. Is that why my TE started? Thank you for your answer.
@@doctorashley994 thank you for answering. My hair stopped falling out 4 days ago and they do not fall almost at all now. So I kind of think it is in the end.
Hi! I was diagnosed with Telogen effluvium by my dermatologist. She recommended me to used a hair grower tonic with minixodil but I decided not to because i am scared to change the cycle of my hair growth. I am only 16 btw. Will my hair grow back to its normal thickness? Hope you can reply to my question thank you😊
Miky Tan this can happen at any age. I would take your doctors advise. Make sure to be vigilant about what may have caused the telegenic effluvium and not to worry to much about how it is going to grow back so you can prevent further episodes. Everyone is different so I can’t exactly say if it will be the same thickness. Goodluck, I know it can be pretty stressful!
I had tellogen effluvium earlier a few months ago due to extreme stress and I was using minoxidil...can I stop using it now that I see regrowth? Or are there going to be side effects of leaving minoxidil? Will all the grown hair fall back again?
When a person uses minoxidil it can stimulate the hair to grow. Make sure you it is TE before stopping. if Androgen alopecia then hair will fall out again after stopping minoxidil.
I have iron deficiency hair loss .. hairfall is under control but new hairs aren't regrowing ....does hair doesn't regrow ..it has been 1 year of taking supplements
There are many factors in hair loss. Maybe you have another type of hair loss or chronic hair loss. I have another video explaining testosterone hair loss that you could look into.
Once I started taking supplements my hairfall reduced drastically ...I have chronic telogen effluvium dur to iron deficiency ..but in winters my hair fall which is resulting in net decrease in volume . My age is 23 I have diffuse hairloss And all blood reports are normal
Ma'am I m 23 year old ,two months before I faced t.e. but now it stops. Now my hair shedding decreased to 350 to 30-40 Hair strands per day. But I was experience hair thinning past 2-3 years. But this month doctor gave me finasteride 2.5 mg daily at night + biotin 10000 twice a day.i m scared of using this medicine because of its side-effects ( specially for women)
Your doctor must have a reason to try the finasteride. you can always try it and see if it works for you. If you get any side effect definitely let your doctor know. good luck!
Yes, very true. I wouldn’t use it all over my scalp. It’s great to cover up a single small ball spot. I used it around my temples for a little while. Works like magic, now. I stopped and my hair gradually looked the same before i started the product. Be careful where you use it also. It penetrates the skin. Since I used it on my temple I started to notice “ peach fuzz” growth on my foreheard. So glad the hair fell out when I stopped using it. Long story short ; I wouldn’t recommend.
Kiki Attonito Definitely Very VERY temporary bandaid. Expensive too. Nothing beats what your body does naturally. And all these « Rice, papaya, scallop juice concoctions » are nothing but BS ; ) There is a reason why they sell wigs and hair transplant. Unless you have severe deficiencies or hormonal imbalances : Good luck.
If you use minoxidil for androgen allopecia (where testosterone basically attacks the hair follicle) you have to use minoxidil forever to keep the hair follicle growing. If you use it with telogen effluvium -the chronic TE then it could help the hair grow and the hair should not fall out after.
Very stressful events like the death of a loved one sadly can induce immediate hair loss. Not 2 months later. Sorry for my previous comment but the way you speak is not very professional.
This is not good advice. If you use steroid products, the second you stop using it,the hair falls out and everyone including these companies that make this,say that. So imagine the stress you put yourself through when you spend a bunch of money on this stuff and then stop and think you’ve stimulated your hair follicles and then all the sudden you experience hair loss AGAIN and go through that heartache AGAIN. Horrible advice. Also these steroids disrupt the thyroid which causes EVEN MORE destruction. Horrible horrible advice. Go see a holistic doctor. You’d rather have your hair and expose yourself to steroids and cause thyroid issues and even more hormone imbalance? I am not making any of this up. If anyone is curious,look it up and you will see that that’s exactly what happens. Look up why people stopped using it as well. I don’t mean to sound like a B but I am experiencing hair loss and I don’t want others to follow this shit advice and cause even more hair loss due to stress about why this messes you up down the line.
I was given steroid shots to help with inflamation related to TE and I am almost certain it made my situation worse. I would double , triple think using steroid products as well
So glad I found this🙏🏼 been the most stressful year and it’s nice to know I’m not alone (though I wouldn’t wish it on anyone)
i cant even think of a stressful situation that happened to me..? all this stress is FROM the hair loss. i even did a blood test and everything was perfect i feel so hopeless at this point
have you changed your diet at all? that’s what triggered my hair loss. i did a blood test as well because i was hoping they could tell me if i was deficient in any vitamins but mine came back perfect too. /: now i just take a multi vitamin and a biotin vitamin. i also try to get a lot of protein in my diet. i’ve seen a small difference in the amount of hair i lose but not much.
@@taybae8620 i have changed my diet i started going into a calorie deficit to lose weight. at first it was a pretty drastic change but then i tried to eat a bit more calories. my stomach has gotten used to not eating as much so idk
@@ilovegsp it sounds like your diet is definitely the reason for your hair loss. i recommend eating a lot of protein.
@@ilovegsp Yes the diet is the reason for hair loss, the process of crash dieting already happen so you will have TE for the next half a year or so but will stop eventually

Glad you liked it!! thank you for watching
Hi Dr Ashley. Thank you so much for such an informative video. I was diagnosed with this today after spending a few months in disbelief and embarrassment that I was losing hair. I finally plucked up the courage to see the doctor because fear creeped in that I might become completely bald if I just left it and this was adding to my existing stress. Just bite the bullet and see your doctor to put your mind at rest. Now to work on reducing stress... Thanks Dr Ashley.
Excellent content and highly informative! New subscriber. ❤️
You'reca great doctor. Thank you, I've subscibed.
I was in a cruise for 8 days and had a sunburned on my scalp. 2 months later I started losing a lot of hair non stop ,and the hair that grew was thin and weak and it constantly fell.I never had any sign of alopecia before the cruise. Its been now 14 months since then and the shedding stopped a month ago ,at last. hair looks quite thin and clear now ,hopefully now that shedding stopped it will get ticker and even
I like that you call it “shredding” instead of “shedding” it’s cute

Thank you for the clarification cuz I had the most stressful year: homeless, custody issues, school full time, finances.

Why is no one talking about stressor being a loved one passing. My best friend died 9/12020 and since I’ve been up and down wreck, but now late April 2021 I’m noticing an over all dentistry decrease and now I’m realizing as well my scalp is sore/tingly... sounds like TE
Love your explanation, i think most of doctors i make appointment is nothing can do for me. i start found my hair loss 2 months ago and can feel the hair volume is so thin over all. just a month, i found my hair fall very fast after my weight loss from 67 to 60 kg
I literally just cried. Thank you so much for explaining this. There's so much misinformation out there. I am having so much hair loss in the temporal area. I went to a dermatologist and trichologist to confirm the diagnosis (TE) but knowing doesn't make it easier. Nearly every day I wake up as I run my fingers through my hair in the temporal areas and it makes me so sad.

Oral minoxidol honey. Watch the videos out there. I just started at 0.25mg.

Hello...I am happy to see that you reply to the questions.....I wanted to ask I have been facing hairfall since past 6 months.. but not I can see small baby hairs but my hair fall hasn't stopped yet....can you tell how long does TE continues?...is it recovering ??
I have heard the fall out phase is about 3-6 months but can go longer especially if stress is a major part of your life. The more protein and vitamins you put in your body the healthier your hair will be.

Is there anyway to help chronic telegon effluvium?
Great video! Was wondering if Telegen Effluvium hairs regrown with minoxidil are minoxidil dependant if you stop minoxidil? I know thats the case with pattern baldness. Any response would be appreciated! Thanks
In Telogen effluvium people should not have the hair fall out after stopping minoxidil unless they have another bout of TE. With androgen baldness aka male/female pattern balding this is from testosterone attacking the hair follicle so the hair follicle with always be susceptible to it so when stopping minoxidil it will cause balding to continue.
@@doctorashley994 Thanks
@@doctorashley994 Thank you so much for answering this question! I was a bit skeptical when my Dermatologist suggested Minoxidil lotion cause I was worried about the same thing. It’s a relief knowing this. 😄
NOOOOO!!! Of course not!
What is telogen effluvium? It's often due to stress, in example. NOT and never due to DHT!
Male Pattern Baldness is due to DHT, and thus once you stop minoxidil, it CAN fall out again, due to DHT!
But with Telogen Effluvium, the hairs have fallen out due to (in example) major stress events.
1. Male Pattern Baldness kills the hairs on scalp;
2. Telogen Effluvium makes the hair on scalpgo into sleep mode. You may re-activate them, if they do not regrow back after a while naturally, with minoxidil 5% and/or dermarolling 0.5mm. And stop using these things once the hairs have regrown back, cause TE has nothing to do with DHT which is a lifetime problem, and TE NOT!
I’ve been stressed since corona and car accident I’m taking zolpidem for sleep and tizanidine for back injury ,can those cause hair loss thanks?
Como cuida sou brasileira e tou desesperada
Just wondering, if someone is diagnosed with TE and perhaps AGA, if they start minoxidil to take take the hair out of telogen phase into anagen phase, will that process progress AGA, Since now the telogen hair has been pushed out?
My understanding from researching AGA - once the hair has fallen out, it won’t grow back.
Can you please please clarify! Thanks so much.
Its been like 10 months for me of falling but it seems I have gotten a stressor every 3 months of the last year. 😢. Plus entering menopause which is a stress in itself added to the stress of losing the hair. Any recommendations to manage stress.
i have an eating disorder and just went through my first big breakup. my hair has been coming out like crazy and it makes me so upset. i just sit and run my hands through my hair and cry as it continues to fall and fall and fall.
I lost most of my hair during a eating disorder rapidly grew back in recovery
I really appreciated this video... u are beyond relatable and u genuinely this video helped me... can i ask what kind of doctor are you?
I have telogen effluvium right now it's crazy I have hair loss all over and from crown area
ok, energy and nutrients saving mode, but what about all the body hair? the don't seem to falling down at all. why they only shedding on my head?
Hi doc quick question. I have seborrheic dermatitis that I manage with Nizoral. If I don’t use nizoral my whole head is in scabs and itches. My hair over the course of a few years has gotten really long to my bum and thick, but I have thinning around the sides of my head and on top of my head. My part is probably the same as yours here in this video, which compared to where I was, is a significant difference and It’s progressively getting wider. Would this be considered TE or just a side effect of having seborrheic dermatitis? I wish I knew how to cure it but sadly I don’t. I ended up having seborrheic dermatitis after a hairstylist nightmare and my scalp was bleach burned off. Thanks! Plz reply.
Your condition seems a little more complicated given the dermatitis and tx options. If it is very severe you may have other options from a dermatologist. however if it is slow hair lost you could think about androgen alopecia-I do have a video on this as well-maybe it would help you.
YOUR EYES are breathtaking. Your hair is gorgeous. I think I have never seen such beautiful eyes like yours, you must be from an another planet. ;) Thanks for explaining doc Ashley.
My fallen hair have a white bulb, is that normal? Is it normal to loose shorter hair if you're long haired?
Thanks so much for this! question - I noticed sudden hair loss about 8 months ago and i started using minoxidil (couldn’t see a derm) anyway within a month i saw crazy growth and when I saw a derm she said it def looked like TE. For the last two months, however, I’ve been losing crazy small hairs?? Which has never happened before & im still using minoxidil. My hair btw is extremely thick and I’m like 20% away from normal density. Any idea? I got crazy vellus growth on my neck/face from minoxidil so i wonder if it grew the same on my scalp and now it’s shedding bc it’s not really strong/getting minoxidil (which I’m slowly weaning off of starting this week). My derm said that sometimes hair loss can’t easily be categorized into a bucket & didn’t think it was AGA. Thoughts? It’s driving me nuts! I lose so many.
(For context: I had severe stress, depression, over processed/burnt hair and a vitamin d level of 7 before I noticed my hair loss - no miniaturization)
My only thoughts could be with chronic TE a person can have recurring hair loss vs when using minoxidil it causes some hairs to switch from telogen to Anagen and that hair will fall out when this happens vs having androgen allopecia and those were the miniaturized hairs that are falling out with the minoxidil use. Make sure the minoxidil is completely dry before bed because it will get on your pillows and cause it to spread to your face/neck or consider a head wrap.
Doctor Ashley super helpful! I went through the dread shed of minoxidil from April-June/July-ish and then the tiny hairs (which are all over everything now!) started in September and worsened in the last 3-4 weeks. I’m just hoping it’s not AGA - I’d def be the first woman in my family to get it! >_< it’s giving me really bad anxiety & depression.
Good point re: letting it dry... I didn’t even think about how it’s getting on my face. You’re a gem, thank you.
I hope you are doing well could you please explain how do you know that you have no miniaturization please ?
Can thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s cause TE? As I’m experiencing hair loss/excessive shedding and I am currently being investigated for possible low thyroid/Hashimoto’s, thanks for the video very interesting 😊

@@gokulpandiyaraj349 hi 👋 have you resolved your TE ???
How much should I get the 5% or 2%?

Your scalp is inflamed but you should see a doc ASAP
I have had chronical stress for 6 months now and my hair has become extremely thin now on top. Normally I have a lot of hair. I’m a 21 year old male, how can I fix this?
If it is TE it will take time to grow back. If it is androgen alopecia then you will need medicines to keep it from worsening. Stress is related to TE.
Hello ,why do some people experience severe telogen effluvium and some mildly or not at all
Does Minoxidil work for non chronic forms of TE? I was diagnosed with TE just based on what I explained to my dr. No pull test, no blood work. He just said wait it out. Been a over a month and still falling out like crazy.
You might notice that it will continue because the hair is going into the rest phase. It can take about 6m until you start seeing it grow again. Minoxidil can make the hairs go into the growth phase but this will also take months to see any improvement. TE can be based on the history however if it doesn’t get better than you Might want to see if anything else is causing it vs chronic form
I started having hair fall as a result of getting on depakote... it seems like I’m not losing anymore. Do you think that it will get better as I stay on the meds?
It may get better as your body gets used to the change! I hope it does!
Study stress effect our hair?
Can telogen effluvium cause miniaturized hair???? I seed a lot minaturized hair, scalp pain, burning, tickling and hairloss at balding.
yes but it should grow back after the stressfull event ends
How is your hair now? Did you go through more shedding (Dread shed) while first starting rogaine? How long did you use it yourself?
And long did the shed go on for?
Update?
did u notice a difference using the products
Hello Doctor, I have been suffering from horrific hair loss for about six months and have lost a large amount of it 😔 and it has become very light I have done all the tests I have no shortage of vitamins My question is whether I suffer from tolgen effluvium or androgenic alopicia and does the androgenic hair loss come suddenly and In a large amount?
Androgen alopecia usually happens over a longer period of time. TE is faster and within months. The test can all be normal for TR but if you went through something very stressful then you could look into that being the problem. I will post an androgen alopecia video this week.
Hows ur hair now ?
I've been researching for HOURS about how to tell if I have hair loss; am I making this up? Is this genetic? Is it from friction? Chemicals in my water? Am I nutrient deficient? No, I eat well and I get plenty of sun... so on, so forth-- it wasn't until you said hair loss can happen 6 months after a traumatic event that I started laughing and crying with relief and revelation. Everywhere else I looked said 3 months and I was thinking, "Nothing in particular happened 3 months ago." But 6.... oh yes. Tendonitis in my drawing arm. I'm an artist. I went into a MAJOR depression over losing my ability to draw for the long term. 6 Months later my arm is better (not 100% but better), and out of nowhere, hair's falling out around my temples. Thank you. Now I know this is just temporary. I can rest easy.
Would it stopef
Yep stress is the main factor, I broke my leg last June while on lockdown from Corona and my partner left me, my stress was through the roof and that's what started mine.
Hope you’re doing much better
How long have you been shedding?
does telogen effluvium go away I was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin D AND and autoimmune disorder plus i am a stressful person idk what to do ): i went to the doctors the dermatologist was not very helpful at all
I'm not sure if I have TE because I am not clinically diagnosed. But my hair shedding started 6 months after a distressing event and is going for a 17 months now, but it doesn't shed constantly, it's like recurring. I noticed of I am very stressed or sleep late the hair fall is worst and if I spent days without that much stress, there's not much hair fall. What can you say about this? What should I do to stop the hair from shedding ?
It could be chronic TE. I would see a dermatologist and perhaps ask for some solutions for helping to intervene and to help dictate prolonged regrowth.
💞
I am a guy going through TE, its been about six months ish, my shedding has slowed down. Should I wait it out and see if my hair grows back naturally? or should I jump on Minoxidil/Rogaine to help with the regrowth? Is it possible to use minoxidil/Rogaine temporary til my hair grows back or will I have to use it for life if I decide to go that route? Thanks!
Wait!!! Wait it out because as you know TE is temporary, your hair will become dependent on minoxidil and rogaine and by the time you finish using it, your hair will fall out again. Give it time
It should grow back. You will probably need a year to see if it is growing. If you notice that you have more stress and your hair falls out more during this time then you can think about the treatments for chronic TE
I'm a guy too and i ve been suffering from
it for 13 months due to an excessive uv rays exposure ,hair grow but thinner and clear minoxidil might help to thicken it
@@Soniyah-yq1fd LOL not crying!! No, minoxdil will not make your hairs ''dependent''. Yes, you can STOP using minoxidil once the hairs are regrown back. Period.
Dude, you can stop using it once the hairs have regrown back. don't listen to ignorant people, be it so called laymen!
I had telogen effluvium for a good 3, 4 years. HAir diffused all over scalp (side scalp, mid scalp, crown, hairline, side hairline, temples etc.) After taking minoxidil 5% twice or once a day, doing scalp massages and 0.5mm dermarolling - and removing all stress with meditation/yoga, I started getting all my hairs back in max a month! And I stopped, all hairs have stayed thick and dense for years now!
When you have Male Pattern BAldness, yes, then it might fall again because of the hormone DHT! But if you have Telogen effluvium, you might need to stimulate your sleeping hair follicles to grow back again by using in example minoxidil or dermarolling, or iron/zinc if you need them. And since TE has NOTHING to do with DHT, you don't lose your hairs again after stopping minoxidil.
With Male Pattern Baldness, the hair follicles dies.
While with Telogen Effluvium, the hair follicles go in to sleeping phase, sometimes for even years. But eventually it will be healed, be it by helping stimulating them with i.e. minoxidil, or be it naturally.
This person soniyah 8202 is very ignorant and pretty silly! I mean how long you have to wait, 2, 3, 4, 5 years or more?! Of course not! And thus you need to stimulate the follicles to grow back AGAIN, and then you can stop using the activator serum (i.e. min).
PS: Soniyah 8202, rogaine IS minoxidil lol. And don't be so hysterical.
Use onion juice for hair regrowth
Hi Dr I was diagnosed with TE in Jan 2020, and i'm still shedding it it's down to +-40 hairs per wash. I try to eat healthy and I take vitamins, in aug 2019 I had a concussion not sure if that is why the process is taking longer for me.I also had my hormones, iron levels ect tested all came back fine. My hair is thinner but I have no bold spots luckily. Is there anything else I can do?
Seems like you are doing better. I’m not sure if you have more ongoing stress. If you notice increased loss of hair at times then think about chronic TE
Ivonne alester how much uh shed now?
I just spent an hour crying! I had TE 2020 when I first found out about my Graves’ disease. It stopped after 6 months, 2021 my hair grew back a lot, not fully but it was great! Beginning of 2022, I started losing hair, and still losing. My thyroid is under control, diet is great, I take daily vitamins, only thing I could think of is I had COVID in December…I feel hopeless, all the hair I grew back is now gone. My new Derm says she doesn’t think it’s TE, but she barely even pulled my hair, and she pulled at the scalp. I’m scared it could be alopecia, but I’m almost certain it’s TE. My concern with minoxidil is I’ve heard once you stop using it, your hair will begin falling again…what do you think about this ?
Thank you.
Yes over time mix will slowly lose your hair again. Since you got covd In dec I’ll say that’s your trigger and best to wait it out tbh
@@prometheus6853 Bullshit! I'm a doctor and that's not true! Because telogen effluvium is NOT caused by DHT, but due to stress in example. and thus the hairloss will be temporary and not permanent. And thus, it will regrow back eventually. But you can stimulate it with minoxidil, and once the hairs are grown back, you need to stop! Hairs will stay on the scalp, since it has not to do with DHT (which is the cause of hairloss called Androgenetic Alopecia.)
No Kat, you CAN stop minoxidil after hairs are grown back. PERIOD! The hairs fall out to people with Androgenetic Alopecia aka Male Pattern BAldness, Telogen effluvium has NOTHING to do with androgenetic alopecia, which is mainly caused by DHT hormone. Telogen effluvium is due to stress, in example, and often it stay for years (also called chronic telogen effluvium) and by using minoxidil or dermarolling 0.5mm, you can stimulate the hair follicles to grow back. After they are back, ofc its better not to stress much, and you can stop using minoxidil.
Hi Doctor Ashley! Thanks a Lot for your great Video! I wanted to ask you something. Shedding was for 3 months terrible and hair falled like the rain. I can now see a Lot oft little baby hair and hairgrowth. However my hair are still shedding since 3 months, it slowed down but it isnt like before TE began. Do you think that minoxydil or something else can help the telogen Phase to stop or should I have to wait and be Patient that shedding more reduce? Thanks a lot for your answer
If a person has continues TE then minoxidil would be the medication I would recommend to them!
Hi. Can I be in calories deficit and still regrow my hair?

I really hope you will answer my question. I have since March 2020 hair loss it was sudden And a looot. I cried everyday literally... I did a trichoscopy and they told me I have TE but when I saw a dermatologist he told me it could be AA because I have some thin hairs ... I am lost I cannot afford another appointments to have a second diagnosis... My hair lost is diffuse help me please. I have another question : can the hairlost from PCOS be stopped ?
You could very well have both. Women with pcos are likely to have Androgen alopecia. If a person also had fast and diffuse hair loss it associated more with TE. I have another video about androgen alopecia- female testosterone
Yes the hair loss can be stopped if you take Metformin. That’s what helped me when I lost half my hair due to PCOS, stress and hypothyroidism
@@rainbowskies5796 i have graves disease (hyperthyroidism) and for PCOS it is strange because I have my periods regularly and my hormones are all goods ( male hormones are low too) but the doc found little cysts on my ovaries with an echo.

@@elbekaymenasra5470 yes my hair did grow back. Quitting a stressful job, sleeping more, and taking collagen supplements helped a lot in addition to metformin. I also have cysts on my ovaries, very painful periods, but taking a progesterone birth control helped a lot with cysts and painful cramps. It took about 2-3 years for my hair to grow back.
Thank you doctor!!! I just received my diagnosis from my scalp biopsy. I am in the catagen-telogen phase and they suggested Telogen Effulvum, androgenic alopecia, or areta (which I ruled out because I don't have circular balding). I thought the biopsy would indicate whether it was FPHL or TE as they are treated very differently. I feel as though I've had a few traumatic stressor including the pandemic which has hit finances so I believe it to be TE. So my question: what does scalp biopsies tell us about hair loss? Can it determine between the genetic and the traumatizing?
Kendra Morgan Official the scalp biopsy would be more to rule out an inflammatory or scarring conditions like alopecia areata but we wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell the phases of the hair growth. TE can be diagnosed by history and if someone has experience a stress then had hair loss or chronic hair loss associated with multiple stressors.
@@doctorashley994 thank you doc!!!
@@KendraMorgan You need to know that androgenic alopecia doesn't happen suddenly. if your hair has always been thick enough and now you have a sudden hair loss because of one of the reasons mentioned in the video above then it's probably TE because FPHL happens gradually over time and you would've noticed it years ago. TE makes hair very thing and visible scalp all within only few weeks or months.
@@Ghanini thats very nice to know! The dermatologist said that it was FPHL and that there it was not likely TE. I argued it but he said that genetics will trump anything else and then finally agreed to disagree and stated that the TE kicked off my FPHL. 🤷♀️ so maybe a chance its not FPHL
Kendra Morgan Official he can’t just say that because TE symptoms and AGA are very different
Doctor I have a question.. I was very sad for around 3 months beacuse a family member just passed away, does this mean I could get chronic TE or just normal one? I'm trying to do things to be less stressed and sad
If a person has recurring stress such as what you are going through then it is possible. I am very sorry to hear about the family member. Please make sure to take care of yourself as well.
@@doctorashley994 Thank u so much😔 I do have another question.. Alopecia areata can be caussed by stress?
Hi doctor. Can I ask something My hair is falling too much since 2 months i went to a doctor and had a blood test but everyting was normal. They also looked my scalp but it was fine too so they told me its probably stress they didnt tell anything about te. Do you think this can be Te?
Fast hair loss in people usually=TE especially when everything else checks out

Hello, is there any chances to regrowth hair after consulting dermatologists please tell me
I have thin hair and shedding my scalp is visible is their any chances to grow new hair
There is definitely ways to regrow your hair but it depends what kind of hair you are suffering from. Your primary care doctor may be able to help you figure this out before you go to a dermatologist. I will be adding a video soon about androgen alopecia.
Ok thank you..!
Hey doc. Is there any other reason for hair miniaturization.. other than AGA? My testosterone is normal...i am vitamin D deficient and have low ferritin.
I’m going through exactly what ur going through low vitamin d and ferritin of 15 my hair is shriveling up literally . Like miniaturizing . And thinning all over.
How much is vitamin d level, and ferritin level, mine was d=17,ferritin =19
Can consuming contraceptive pill like ipil cause telogen efflivium?
Hi Dr. Ashley! How can I communicate further with you? Do you have an Instagram or email? I have a few clarifying questions on the information you shared. Really great video! Thanks
Can poor diet can be a cause for talogen effluvium?
Yes!! I have TE based on doing alternate day fasting. The time line works perfectly for me. 3 months prior to my hair falling out I started the fasting. I stopped! Not worth it!
@@Char_LotteRose update in your hair?
Hi I’m 19 and a female and got diagnosed with TE. I believe it was caused by a really bad breakup. Though I’m on month 7 now. If it is chronic TE can it be recovered ? I have not tried anything on my hair is there something I should be trying ? I want it it to stop so bad.
I have baby hairs that have grown but they are so thin and usually some fall out as well ? Does this mean my hair won’t grow back?
TE takes a while to start seeing hair grow again. A break up is definitely a big stressor. If it continued then consider going to a doctor to have it checked out.
Hey, due to covid I lost my job in March, then had a very stressful IUD pose in April, and went through a few stressful jobs in the following months. In August I started noticing a lot of hair loss up to November, calmed down in December and then started losing hair again up to now. I have small thin hairs falling as well as long normal hairs. I grew these hairs in August-November when I was very stressed out due to my hair fall. I know losing short hairs is common in TE when it lasts a long time, but I do have some thin new hairs I am slightly concerned with, just like you are. It's reassuring that both our stories are the same with a similar time-line, could very well be only TE
@@Burdinator300 r uh still sheeding ?
It's "shedding," not "shredding." FYI
Please reply❤️ I am only a 14 year old girl who lost a lot of weight during quarantine and only realized after 4 months. Now my hair has been falling out like crazy and it doesn't seem to stop. This morning I pulled out like 50 strands and it's continuing to shed. Please reply I am so scared.
That happens when you lose weight! It’s okay it’ll come back
Are you okay now?
How are you doing?
Hi, thank you so much for this video.
Can this be triggered by extreme lack of sleep (I spent over 6 months with less than 6h of sleep daily because of exams)? I also had low ferritin even though I didn’t have anemia and it seemed to mess with it too, but even with normal levels the hair did not recover.
I was diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia combined with Telogen Effluvim (with Tricodomia). I was wondering if you think PRP or low light laser therapy works since my hair seems to be progressively worse and not recovering at all or responding to the treatments prescribed in the last 4-7 months.
depending on the treatments that you are doing you may not see any improvement for up to a year, there is not much research to say PRP or laser therapy is the answer here. Definitely keep trying. I have a video on androgen alopecia if it will help you- the female testosterone video.
@@doctorashley994 The treatment I am on is Finasteride, Corticosteroids and Anagen serum stimulators combined with vitamins. I had to ditch corticosteroids after 4 months though, since the side effects were too extreme on my body and were not subsiding and only getting worse (inability to walk due to loss of balance for hours and extreme skin thinning and bruising from just getting dressed). I have experienced shedding, which I was told it was normal from Finasteride, but my hair is 3 times worse and I see no significant hair regrowth whatsoever after 5 months. The shedding has slowed in the last few weeks but I felt like it accelerated and made my condition progress instead of stagnating.
I have watched virtually almost all videos and read research papers on it and it seems that there are not very good answers for hair loss in women.

Dose telogin effluvium cause hair minturized or change hair into vellus hair or not .I am man due to depression I lose my 50% density of mid frontal scalp.my hairline is fine but my hair loss looks like female hair loss.diffuse manner.I losed 50% hair within a year .now hair loss is stable. And acne on my face has gone.
TE does not cause miniaturization of the follicle. It will take a while to notice the hair growing back because it takes a while for it to actually grow. If your hair never grew back in some of the places then I would think about androgen alopecia. It is very possible that you could have had TE and some androgen alopecia. If you have family with hair loss then you will be at risk for androgen alopecia. Androgen alopecia will slowly lose hair until one day you wake up and realize you can see your scalp. I hope that helps
But my hair loss is due to depression .I losed 50% density within a year .now my scalp is visible. I should take prp.for hair grow .dose prp effective in telogin effluvium.
Rahman Nizamani you could definitely try it but if you are still loosing hair you should think about chronic TE from depression.

@@rufaidaanzum2623 right now I decided to stop taking bc pill after 1 year and 3 months and I'm going to see what's next. The pill caused me terrible mood swings and anxiety and I'm hoping that this will be solved.
Right now I think I'm traumatised by my hair fall and whenever I see hair on the floor I immediately get anxious but it's totally normal to lose up to 50/100 hairs per day. I went to a dermatologist and I found out that I also had low ferritin and I'm trying to recover from that.
Did you stop using rogaine after your diet or stress was better? I have chhronic telogen effluvium and if i fix my diet and all that while taking rogaine, can i stop taking it once im better? And will my hair fall out if i stop using it AFTER im better?!!
I had TE from August to November (3 months). My triggers were wedding planning during a pandemic and moving to a huge city and starting a new job.
It was diffuse thinning but I noticed my bangs area seemed thinner. I have noticed a TON of new short hairs sprouting everywhere, especially when I part my hair in the middle.
However, I have noticed that (I think) I’m losing some of the new hairs. Is this normal as my body gets back on track?
I am so worried this could be AGA. My grandparents all in their 90s have full heads of hair. My parents and sisters and aunts and uncles literally all have extremely thick hair. Not one single person male or female in my family has thinning.
I have seen two dermatologists who have done pulls tests that were positive and didn’t notice any thin/bald spots and diagnosed me with TE based on that + my history.
Please advise on these few short hairs falling and if it’s normal for TE recovery. Thank you so so much!
Hey wen uh started shedding?
Yes losing short hairs is normal
Are you a certified doctor ?
I have my medical degree. I’m in my last year of residency. If that is what you are asking!
hi doc. im losing my hair and was diadnosed with hypothyroidism. should i use minoxidil? im afraid to lose more hairs as my scalp is really showing.
I hope once you get treatment for you thyroid it will get better. If a person continues to loose hair then minoxidil can help with the growth cycle however once starting people may see more hairs fall out because the hair is transitioning to the growth cycle and it will take time to see any results.

Doctor pls tell how much time TE last??? Mine has been 8 months shedding slow down but does not completly stop ...still 4 5 strands comes out when i touch my hair
It definitely will take time especially since seeing the actual hair growth as in growth of a couple inches takes even more months. If it continues then you May think about chronic TE.

I have a question I have a ferritin level of 10 for quite sometime now but my hair is like shriveling up and shedding and thinning. No female in my family had hair loss so I’m confused if the iron level is causing this . Mind you I’ve had low iron for quite a while but haven’t experienced hair loss until maybe 3 years ago I noticed it was shedding like crazy. My doctor wants me to get better control of my iron before I see a dermatologist to see if I have female pattern hair loss. Most of my hair loss seems to be front hairline receding
I think it it a very good ideas to get the ferritin normal. Your body used iron to make new cells so it is essential in the growing process. If you has any added stressor your body may have experienced TE worst since the ferritin is low already. I think it is too early for derm because they will probably ask why the pcp send you before the ferritin level goes to normal. Once your pcp has ruled out the causes then it would be appropriate to see a derm. Goodluck with the hair growth process. If you notice scarring after hair loss then this can be much different than TE.
@@doctorashley994 thanks for the advice . I’m trying to get my ferritin level up to a 70. As far as like scarring I’m not to sure, the hair at my hairline turned into fuzzy baby hair very fine and short like hair on your arm. So I’m thinking the hair follicle is still attached just not growing what so ever .
I’m going through the exact same thing you’re the first person I’ve found with the same situation as me. My hairlines receding a bit and my ferritin was a 14 about 5 months ago and I haven’t got it rechecked. I’ve been taking supplements and have been shedding so so much since April so about 5 months total. I’m confused as to what I have I’m hoping I can regrow what I’ve lost tho because it’s a lot...
@@Abby-je6nj yeah your not alone or sucks . I have general thinning all over and shedding a lot just cause I think the hairs are coming out so weak and thin. Haven’t checked my ferritin yet but it was still stuck around the 10 range. And I wanted to go see a dermatologist just to see if it’s the iron or something else . But I do know once your iron levels start going up you start shedding more like rapid shedding I heard it’s normal it’s just getting rid of the bad hairs I guess.
@@Abby-je6nj I wish I could see what it looks like and see if looks like mine .
Mine started falling out 10 months ago and still falling although not as much as before. I'm confused because I have lots of new growth coming in but still shedding at the same time. Doctor said TE normally only lasts between 3 and 6 months but mine is nearly a year. I have lost about 70% of my hair now and this is what keeps me stressing, so sad 😞 I feel sad for anyone going through this x

Hi. I am now in my month 7 of Telagon Effluvium. I started to see some re growth and I think that I do not lose that much hair as 7 months ago. Is that the end of loosing hair? Last year, on spring I didn’t have my period for almost 4 months and I lost 15 kg in 3 months. Also I was very stressed because of school and I also adopted a dog last year so it was very stressful to teach the dog every thing. Is that why my TE started? Thank you for your answer.

Miky Tan this can happen at any age. I would take your doctors advise. Make sure to be vigilant about what may have caused the telegenic effluvium and not to worry to much about how it is going to grow back so you can prevent further episodes. Everyone is different so I can’t exactly say if it will be the same thickness. Goodluck, I know it can be pretty stressful!

I had tellogen effluvium earlier a few months ago due to extreme stress and I was using minoxidil...can I stop using it now that I see regrowth? Or are there going to be side effects of leaving minoxidil? Will all the grown hair fall back again?
When a person uses minoxidil it can stimulate the hair to grow. Make sure you it is TE before stopping. if Androgen alopecia then hair will fall out again after stopping minoxidil.
I have iron deficiency hair loss .. hairfall is under control but new hairs aren't regrowing ....does hair doesn't regrow ..it has been 1 year of taking supplements

There are many factors in hair loss. Maybe you have another type of hair loss or chronic hair loss. I have another video explaining testosterone hair loss that you could look into.
Once I started taking supplements my hairfall reduced drastically ...I have chronic telogen effluvium dur to iron deficiency ..but in winters my hair fall which is resulting in net decrease in volume .

I have heard that minoxidil helps growth in the moment, but if you stop using it, those hairs fall out. Is that true? Thanks!
Yes, very true.
I wouldn’t use it all over my scalp. It’s great to cover up a single small ball spot.
I used it around my temples for a little while. Works like magic, now. I stopped and my hair gradually looked the same before i started the product. Be careful where you use it also. It penetrates the skin. Since I used it on my temple I started to notice “ peach fuzz” growth on my foreheard.
So glad the hair fell out when I stopped using it.
Long story short ; I wouldn’t recommend.
Azerty thank you so much. I hate the thought of being dependent on something.

Definitely Very VERY temporary bandaid. Expensive too. Nothing beats what your body does naturally.
And all these « Rice, papaya, scallop juice concoctions » are nothing but BS ; )
There is a reason why they sell wigs and hair transplant.
Unless you have severe deficiencies or hormonal imbalances : Good luck.
If you use minoxidil for androgen allopecia (where testosterone basically attacks the hair follicle) you have to use minoxidil forever to keep the hair follicle growing. If you use it with telogen effluvium -the chronic TE then it could help the hair grow and the hair should not fall out after.
@@doctorashley994 thank you!
Are you really a doctor because you talk like a teenager from the valley in LA
Very stressful events like the death of a loved one sadly can induce immediate hair loss. Not 2 months later. Sorry for my previous comment but the way you speak is not very professional.
A word of advice: talk about fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
This is not good advice. If you use steroid products, the second you stop using it,the hair falls out and everyone including these companies that make this,say that. So imagine the stress you put yourself through when you spend a bunch of money on this stuff and then stop and think you’ve stimulated your hair follicles and then all the sudden you experience hair loss AGAIN and go through that heartache AGAIN. Horrible advice. Also these steroids disrupt the thyroid which causes EVEN MORE destruction. Horrible horrible advice. Go see a holistic doctor. You’d rather have your hair and expose yourself to steroids and cause thyroid issues and even more hormone imbalance? I am not making any of this up. If anyone is curious,look it up and you will see that that’s exactly what happens. Look up why people stopped using it as well. I don’t mean to sound like a B but I am experiencing hair loss and I don’t want others to follow this shit advice and cause even more hair loss due to stress about why this messes you up down the line.
I was given steroid shots to help with inflamation related to TE and I am almost certain it made my situation worse. I would double , triple think using steroid products as well
Sucks😊
