What is Telogen Effluvium?

Have you noticed more hair than usual in your brush, shower, or on your pillow?

You may be experiencing Telogen Effluvium—one of the most common forms of temporary hair loss.

This happens when your body experiences a significant stressor, causing more hair follicles than normal to enter the resting (telogen) phase at the same time. Around 2–3 months later, those hairs begin shedding.

Common triggers include:
🌿 Emotional stress
🤒 Illness or high fever
🤰 Pregnancy and childbirth
💊 Hormonal changes
⚖️ Rapid weight loss or restrictive dieting
💉 Surgery or certain medications
😴 Chronic stress and poor sleep

The good news? In many cases, Telogen Effluvium is reversible once the underlying trigger is addressed.

Supporting your scalp, maintaining good nutrition, managing stress, and using evidence-based ingredients can all help create the best environment for healthy regrowth.

✨ Understanding the cause of your hair loss is the first step toward choosing the right solution.

✨ Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp ✨

Many people focus only on their hair strands, but your scalp is where hair growth begins.

Why is scalp health so important?

🌱 Creates the ideal environment for healthy hair growth
🌱 Supports strong, resilient hair follicles
🌱 Helps reduce excess oil and product build-up
🌱 Minimises irritation, itching, and inflammation
🌱 Supports a balanced scalp microbiome
🌱 Improves nutrient delivery to the follicle
🌱 Can help reduce excessive shedding caused by scalp stress
🌱 Encourages thicker, fuller-looking hair over time
🌱 Helps maintain the natural hair growth cycle
🌱 Promotes stronger, healthier hair from root to tip

Think of your scalp as the soil and your hair as the flower. Healthy soil grows healthy blooms. 🌿

What is 5-Alpha Reductase?

5-Alpha Reductase is an enzyme naturally found in the body that converts testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone).

While DHT plays an important role in development, excessive DHT around genetically sensitive hair follicles can cause them to gradually shrink over time. This process is known as follicular miniaturization and is one of the leading causes of pattern hair loss in both men and women.

There are both medical and natural approaches that aim to reduce the activity of this enzyme:

✔️ Medical options:
• Finasteride
• Dutasteride

✔️ Natural ingredients often studied for DHT support:
• Saw Palmetto
• Pumpkin Seed Oil
• Rosemary
• Green Tea Extract
• Nettle Root

Understanding the science behind hair loss is the first step to making informed decisions about your hair health.

✨ Hair science is not about quick fixes—it's about understanding the root cause.

🧬 What is DHT and why does it matter?

If you've noticed thinning hair, a widening parting, or hair that just doesn't seem as full as it used to be, DHT could be part of the story.

DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone naturally produced from testosterone. In people who are genetically sensitive to it, DHT attaches to hair follicles and gradually causes them to shrink. Over time, the growth cycle becomes shorter, hairs become finer, and eventually some follicles may stop producing visible hair altogether.

The good news? Understanding the science behind hair loss is the first step toward making informed decisions about your hair health.

At Royal Bloom Professional, I believe education empowers confidence. 🌿
