A member asked:

Why does telogen effluvium occur after getting over crash diets.shouldn't the body make hairthicker instead of hair loss when we start eating healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common: Any shock to the body (such as a crash diet) can trigger a telogen effluvium by interrupting the body's normal hair growth cycle. As your hair cycle returns to normal, and as you eat healthier, your hair will grow back.
