Telogen defluvium When an unusually large number of hairs simultaneously enter telogen phase 7 (resting phase), many hairs fall out. This is usually spread diffusely over the scalp. The patient notices that a relatively large amount of hair is falling out: hair on the pillow, in the shower drain, etc. Sometimes this form of hair loss is so severe that the scalp becomes clearly visible through the remaining hairs. This 'synchronization' of the hair growth phases that leads to telogen defluvium can usually be traced back to a stressful event that occurred 2 to 4 months before the onset of hair loss. This could be pregnancy, for example, but also a febrile illness or moments of severe psychological stress. Hair growth usually recovers within a year. Unfortunately, this recovery is not always complete. So far, there is no known treatment that can speed recovery
