3.You May Shed More Than You Think
It’s not a perfect measure, but some experts estimate that we may shed up to 100 or more hairs a day. That’s not cause for alarm, nor does it mean you’re going bald. About 90% of your 100,000 hair follicles are producing hair at any given time. The other 10% are in a resting (telogen) phase, and the hair falls out after about 2 to 3 months. It’s replaced by new hair, and the growth cycle starts over again.
4.What Causes Telogen Effluvium?
Telogen effluvium (TE) is when hair thins due to stress. TE causes actively growing hairs to cycle into the resting stage and fall out. This means a decrease in the number of hair follicles producing hair, causing a thinning.
