Telogen Effluvium: Similarly, vaccinations, crash dieting, physical trauma such as being in a car crash, and having surgery can sometimes be a shock to the system and a proportion of scalp hair follicles go into hibernation. As the environmental insult passes and the body recovers, the te subsides and there is new hair growth. Some drugs may also induce te, especially antidepressants.
