Telogen shedding: Telogen Effluvium means shedding. However, it does not identify the cause. A comprehensive hair loss consultation with a full-time specialist who is ABHRS American Board of Hair Restoration certified is recommended. This can be started today by email, skype, phone etc. Stress, nutrition, illness, surgery, genetics and more can all play a role in your hair growth cycles.
