This usually happens in response to a stressful trigger, be it physical, mental, or emotional. It can occur in two forms: acute or chronic.This type of hair loss is temporary and is different from other causes of hair loss like alopecia areata or patterned baldness, as the hair in telogen effluvium usually grows back. The top of the scalp is the usually affected area. There can be multiple reasons behind telogen effluvium, such as:

Severe stress
A sudden loss in weight
Pregnancy, postpartum
Menopause
Reaction to certain drugs
Surgery
Poor diet
A trauma or shocking event
Acute or chronic illness
Vitamin and multi-nutrient deficiency
Hormonal disorders

Usually, hair grows back within 3-5 months with successful treatment by experts.
