telogen effluvium

telogen effluvium
the early, excessive, temporary loss of club hairs from normal resting follicles in the scalp as a result of traumatization by some stimulus (e.g., after surgery or childbirth; with starvation, side effects of drugs, traction on hair, high fever, or certain diseases; or with psychogenic stress). The normal hair cycle is changed and the anagen phase ends prematurely, moving into the catagen and telogen phases.
