Yeah, you're going bald. If it was stress, it would be a thinning equally all over, not just the crown

Update: I now take a shower every 2 days, and I lose maybe 10 hairs each shower session. My hair is now getting thicker and its amazing how fast my Telogen Effluvium reversed itself

I really wish they would have stepped foward and told their stories, because former lurkers such as myself would have felt better at ease knowing that someone has gone through the same thing and recovered

so i take it from the lack of responses, that no one here has ever experienced this or knew someone else whose Telogen Effluvium has aburptly reversed? Or maybe my post was just too darn long to read :D again, I sure am surprised at the total lack of "success stories" on hairloss forums regarding Telogen Effluvium, so I...

Hello folks.

Forgive my ignorance, but I believe that the hair goes into a "resting phase" first, and then it is shed. Not the other way around, as you imply. So I presume you're talking about the hair follicle itself that goes into a resting phase?!? I'm confused.

oh Oh, okay. You mean 3 months until you can visibly see a new hair poking out? I'm not talking about the period of time it takes for it to mature into a normal-sized, thick hair, I'm only talking about the time period before you actually see a baby hair poking out from the pore

Hello, folks. I have a rather simple question that I could not find anywhere else on the Web or reading through these forums, and was wondering if any "experts" out there knew the answer My question is this: once a telogen hair is shed from the scalp, how long does it take to visibly see a...
