Telogen effluvium

When your body goes through a situation like childbirth, malnutrition, serious infection, major surgery, or excessive stress, it can lead to a condition called telogen effluvium. In this condition, hair falls rapidly. In case of stress, the problem of telogen effluvium may start after about 6 weeks to 3 months. Telogen effluvium can put you at risk of losing a handful of hairs at a time. Therefore, it is important to avoid severe stress.

Anagen effluvium

Anagen effluvium causes hair loss when the hair follicles are damaged. Any factor that impairs the metabolism or cellular-level mitotic activity of the hair follicle causes anagen effluvium. In this, hair loss is usually associated with chemotherapy. Since chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, other rapidly dividing cells in your body - such as hair follicles - are also greatly affected. Approximately 90% or more of anagen-phase hair may fall out soon after chemotherapy begins.
