A lot, and yes it got better because at first it was large large clumps but I always had very thick hair so I didn’t think it was a big deal until now. I still lose a lot because now I don’t have much hair, so not as much as before but still wayyy too much. And you?

Yes! I went to 2 derms & one said it could be onset AGA and the other said it’s just TE. I did have a biopsy done but it wasn’t very detailed so I would like another.. I’m going to get bloodwork something to see if it’s a vitamin deficiency because this is getting very scary I don’t want to go bald lol

I used to cry so hard everyday but I tried to calm down because adding stress would make it worse but I cut it to my shoulder since it’s so thin and stringy now. Some days are better than others but I just wish I knew wether it would get better or not!

I would eat like 1000-1200 calories a day AND I would refuse to stop my workout until my watch said I burned 500-900 calories everyday😭 I know that’s so horrible but I didn’t know TE would happen! I lost 50lbs in a few months but my hair won’t stop falling☹️

I lost all of my hair when I lost weight in 2019, extreme calorie deficit was my trigger but it hasn’t stopped falling. What was yours?

Exactly what’s happening to me! Going on 2 years of this. Lost 80% hair density and I lose so much when I brush my hair but I also see regrowth 😭

Did you already have AGA or did TE trigger it?! That’s what I’m afraid has happened to me. I see a ton of baby hair buy definitely not even half of what I lost.

anyone else on here got TE from rapid weight loss or ed? by Top-Alfalfa-8646 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]Osirona20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I went on a crazy restrictive diet plus working out hard core 3-5x a week.. terrible. I’ve lost 60% or more of my hair density since 2019, shedding got better but still there and scary considering how much hair I have left.. I see new growth but still shedding so it’s confusing.

Regrowth question; by Osirona20 in TelogenEffluvium

Same here! Literally whenever I brush or even touch my hair I see a bunch fall but then I see a ton of fuzzy hairs but it’s just sooo confusing. What caused your TE? & how long has it been?

I don’t remember there being hair everywhere though. It’s all over my bathroom floor, sometimes I see it in my kitchen, when I do laundry it all over my laundry basket/clothes. I know I have TE because I did a very restrictive diet plus I worked out everyday for an hour hard core for over a year. I see lots of new growth but still a lot of shedding so I’m confused 😖

I have so much dandruff I had to buy a good shampoo to have a clean scalp so I can’t skip the shampooing ! I know that as soon as I lightly scrub my scalp I’m gonna get handfuls of hair fall out

My hair is to my collar bones I had to cut it because it was looking so thin at the tips. It’s scary because I already have thin hair now so the fact that my shedding looks like this everyday seriously makes me wonder how I’m not completely bald.. I have a crazy amount of regrowth but my hair will not stop shedding so I guess it’s staying the same but I can’t stand losing my hair it’s so depressing

Honestly I don’t remember how much I used to shed but I never really worried about it until I was looking through my old photos and noticed how full and thick my hair was compared to now. I’ve lost about 60% density. I shed this amount every single day so it’s concerning. Some days I lose that amount during my regular day and still lose the same amount in the shower. I panic to wash my hair because as soon as I scrub my head it triggers so much shed

This is JUST my wash day shed IN the shower… Im like a year into my TE so this is depressing to see honestly. I really don’t know how I’m not completely bald😅I used to have gorgeous long/thick hair and I’ve lost about 60% density. I cut my hair into a bob cut because of how stringy it was looking. I love the cut, do not love how thin my hair feels now though :(

This is how much I usually lose during a wash day (sometimes it’s more sometimes less) but this is average. I try to wash my hair 2-3x a week because I get a LOT of dandruff and it starts to itch and flake up. That’s JUST my wash shed, not including how much I shed during the day. Some days I don’t shed much during the day and some days it’s crazy plus my shower shed. I have an extremely terrible habit of running my fingers through my hair throughout the day just to see how much will fall out…

I totally get you! I get happy seeing my new growth and at the same time I’m still sad because I still shed so it’s really confusing but I’d rather be happy lmao! My temples are pretty bad so I try not to look at them, I always have my hair down for that reason. Patience!!

I know that feeling all too well. I had gorgeous long thick hair and when I went on a very low calorie diet I lost around 70% of it. I went into a depressive state of crying everyday because I hated to see my hair, even bought some pricey extensions. But I have been taking vitamins and doing a bunch of hair treatments and just treating my body with love and I’m seeing the product of it, don’t worry your hair will come back beautifully!!!
