Hair Loss Update: 1 Year Hair Regrowth | Telogen Effluvium Recovery

- At the start of 2019 I suffered from stress related hair loss. It stopped falling out at the end of May 2019 and now 1 year later I share with you how much my hair has regrown!
I wasn't sure if I had Alopecia Areata or Telogen Effulvium. I'm leaning more toward TE by seeing the pattern of hair fall and regrowth.

I also have a book out worldwide on Amazon titled "Dealing With Stress Related Hair Loss" (by Kylie Neuhaus) where I talk about my hair loss journey in full.
Thank you for giving me hope ! I’m 6 months since my hair quit falling and it’s filling in, but very slowly. I’m ready to have my hair back ❤
Woo! Should be all uphill for now then! It was around the 1yr to 1.5yrs once it finished falling out that I really started noticing the length as it looked like a right mess, I was just happy it was growing back though!
Love it When people are happy
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
Thanks so much for sharing your story! I am going through TE now. I really started to notice my hair thinning in June of 2021 and was finally diagnosed after a biopsy in Aug 2022 by a dermatologist. I am dealing with 3 conditions. One is genetic but can be slowed down and reversed and the other two are fully treatable and will hopefully not return. I think the majority of my hair loss is due to chronic TE. Lots of sadness and stress the last few years in my life. My grandmother died, mother in law diagnosed with cancer and sadly lost that battle, my dog died unexpectedly after learning my mother in law had cancer, stressful work situation in 2018/2019 …you name it. The last few years have been very tough. Getting Covid was literally the breaking point for my hair. I do have a few questions. Did you notice a lot of tiny hairs all over the top of your head when your hair started coming back? I see many at varying lengths. Was your part wider when you lost hair? Did you dry your hair on a low setting when you had TE? I try to save styling it for special occasions but it’s so hard 😢 Haven’t curled my hair in over a year!
My goodness I’m so sorry you went through all of that! Don’t you just love how when we are already feeling down our bodies are like nahhhh have some more stuff to deal with!!! I only experienced ‘one cycle’ so after the 5 months of fall out, it did all start coming back. As you can see in the video mine looked various lengths depending on where it fell out from but I think it all grew fairly at a similar rate. I have a couple of the early videos in my playlist where you can see what the top of my head looked like. It did look pretty white. As for heat, I never style my hair anyway and I always let my hair air dry, so I never used a hair dryer on it and I probably wouldn’t have wanted to if it was part of my routine, because I didn’t even really want to wash it! I mostly just kept my hair in a bun or I plaited/braided it to try and make it look thicker.
Just found you tonight on YT, I'm in early stages and shedding crazily, I accepted it after a few days of crying, and I'm changing my diet adding vit D as I know I'm deficient in many vitamins.
Also I'm doing fenugreek Seeds water spray, check it out.
I just wanted to say I'm so happy for you, and you are such a lovely smiley lady and so positive.
There's not alot of us lady's I've seen on YT that are from the U.K and that have posted, that are pretty up to date.
Best of luck to anyone going through TE.
Thank you for the kind words! I wish you all the best! I added Vit B too and that’s good for healthy hair, it’s in eggs, avocado, nuts, spinach etc. I found a pony tail worked best for me, I brushed it over the ‘white’ patches and then sometimes I did a plait to try and make it look thicker. For the most part I was ok once I realised I wasn’t suddenly going to go bald. I’m now 2 years since it stopped and I’m pretty much completely back to normal again now :)
@@Betweenengland aww thank you for your reply, it has popped up a week later on my feed 🤷♀️.
I'm happy that you're alright now, and hope it stays that way.
I also find a plait helps, I have curls and it's difficult to try and style, but hey ho, gotta keep going.
Stay healthy 👍💐
@@adelejones5059 yes! I used to do that in the day time to try and make it look thicker than what it was haha
Update?
Was it still shedding a lot even towards the end? About how much would u lose when you ran your hands through your hair? For me it’s typically about 6 or 7 strands when I run my hands through it I’m on the third month of this I’m really wanting it to end soon it’s so awful :(
How many hairs u lose now?
I’m so sorry, I only just saw your message! I hope you are doing ok! Typically I would lose around 50 hairs when I brushed it...yes I’m sad and counted them! I kept it tied up so it caught them but then it did mean it was quite bad when I did brush it!
Abby how's ur sheeding?
@@akankshachoudhary1043 lol still terrible i think it’s female pattern baldness but fuck it I’m saving up to get a hair transplant Bc nah fuck that
@@Abby-je6nj what's the update?
Omg it looks great!! I watched your other videos when mine started falling out and now looking at you it's barely noticeable. Mine is STILL falling out after 10 months. :(
Thank you! Oh no! I'm so sorry that yours is still falling out! I'm now almost at 2 years since it started falling out and mine is now almost back to normal. Have you seen any regrowth at all?
Southern bella donna how's ur sheeding ?
@@akankshachoudhary1043 Apparently its permanent, still falling out about 200 to 300 hairs daily. It grows back at the same time it falls out so its slowly becoming thinner and thinner and thinner..............no can figure out what's causing it. 😩
@@southernbelladonna78 sorry to hear this hopefully it end soon for u
@@akankshachoudhary1043 Awww, thank you. Yeah hopefully. Or I just shave my head and be done with it. Can't bring myself to do that yet although its tempting, lol.
Did your hair strands grow back finer at the beginning ?
Erm, it places I guess! I noticed the ‘finer’ hairs more at like 4 months...my hair didn’t stop falling out until month 5 and when I really noticed the regrowth it was coming back ‘normal’ and not necessarily finer :)
Thanks for your sharing, Kylie. Did you use Minoxidil to regrow your hair?
Hello! No I didn’t, I was offered it but I said I would only use it if it didn’t come back by itself. Pretty much as soon as it stopped after 5 months, it started growing back fine. I did have hair, skin and nail supplements though that have things like zinc, vitamin c, b, d etc and I ate food that had vitamins good for hair growth such as: nuts, spinach, eggs and avocado :)
Hey, I first read your blog and found you on YT... Thanks for sharing your T.E story, it really is helpful to us... I too, got recently diagnosed with T.E and on some days the hairfall is within 50 but then again suddenly one day it goes up, I do see regrowth...I am really depressed about it... because when the hair fall is within 50 it's a happy day for me but when it's a bit more, I cry all day...is it normal for the hair shedding to fluctuate like that..that is, can it shed a bit more sometimes?? And do you think I'm recovering... you've experienced T.E and it's always great to learn...plus, I think I'm again a bit more upset about my T.E
Hello! I'm so sorry you are finding it hard! I tended to have more hair fall on days when I washed my hair, so that was always worse...I had my hair up so most would be caught, on a day when I didn't wash it, I would tend to get roughly the same every morning. However when I washed it, I would get that same morning amount a SECOND time that day. My hair fall latest for around 6 months and then suddenly it stopped overnight. If you can it's important to get checked out to make sure, nothing worse is wrong. I had all my blood levels checked to make sure it wasn't caused by another condition. I wish you all the best!
@@Betweenengland omg thanks for replying...and I did go for a blood test...I have low levels of ferritin and also suboptimal level of vit D3 ...and I'm just emotionally drained, I've grown insecure and I just don't want to even go out of my house...and honestly I feel like my scalp is tingling and itching and I do notice new hair growth too but sometimes the hair shedding a day reaches to 80 and that's when the mental breakdown begins
@@user-qo4gp6rr8n Hopefully there is a way that you are able to boost those levels up? Yes, I felt exactly like that. I started to tell the people that I work with in case anything 'bad' happened overnight and many couldn't even tell! I think because we see ourselves all the time we notice changes that others don't even notice! It's actually NORMAL to lose 100 hairs a day! But obviously we know what is normal for our bodies and that amount was not normal for me!
@@Betweenengland true... I'm taking supplements..my doctor prescribed me a multivitamin kit called hairfact...and thanks for being so kind..lots of love from India
@@user-qo4gp6rr8n that sounds like a good idea! I ended up taking ‘hair, skin and nails’ supplements. They made my hair grow really fast. Even if they didn’t stop anything at least it felt like I was doing SOMETHING!
How long did it take for your hair to stop shedding?xx
Hello! About 5 months x
You look great! I hope i get to the Point you are at
Hi, to protect your hair while you sleep have you tried satin head rap or satin/silk line beanie? It’s great to stop hair breakage and friction or the knotting you mentioned.
Hello! I only recently discovered the satin head wraps! I’m now ‘ok’ but that would have been perfect while I was going through this! Thank you for the comment!
@@Betweenengland you’re most welcome.
Thanks, no one ever asks that question, I'm a curly, and I pop my hair in a silky scarf at night, but does it help 🤷♀️ who knows, it's falling out, so I gotta except that, which I have. But as its only been a few weeks of very, very bad shedding, I don't know what's the best way yet, also how to style as yet. It's so bloody flat 🥴. Suppose its trail and error. Good luck with your journey, wish me luck.
My age 18 +....after covid I am suffering from Telogen effluvium ... I lost my 50% hair with in a month ...my 1st dermatologist prescribed me minoxidil ... after 1week my hair fall control me chala aya...but last month hair fall increased heavily .... I am scared from touching my hair ... Weekly one time I comb my hair and apply shampoo ... May PRP karana chatihu .... Lekin 1 time PRP karne ki bad ...mujhe yearly bar bar prp karna nahi hoga to ?
Hello! Sorry I am unable to translate the last part so I am unsure of your question :( My hair was falling out for 5 months before it stopped, but I was the same, scared to touch my hair, I couldn’t sleep because I didn’t want to lay on it etc, so I understand exactly how you feel :(
I think maintenance treatments every 6 months are required for PRP, but ask your doctor as they can advise you best. Try not to get stressed as this can increase hairfall, have a good diet with lots of protein and take exercise and yoga.
Hey... Post covid hairloss or hair shedding is widespread so don't worry about that it will grow back .. I started loosing my hair post covid and by now i hv lost almost 50-60% of it and still loosing lots of it everyday... Almost as much as 400-500 everyday but i am noticing some regrowth now so don't stress anymore it will regrow but start taking some vitamin and mineral supplement and meditate to manage stress
@@saumyamishra2947 thanks for the comment! I lost mine well before the C word so I am totally back to normal now thankfully! It’s regrown and caught up with the rest of my hair length! Mine was falling out for 5 months and started regrowing back straight away. I did the same, made sure I had vitamins and supplements and meditated to manage the stress! I wish you all the best!
But my hair shedding already started...still I keep patience ? 🙃
Hey, glad to see you hair finally behaving. I started to get Telogen Effluvium in January this year, it hasn't stopped. Some days it's less than other days, but continues.
Finally went to a dermatologist and had a scalp biopsy done and it revealed nothing. I think the loss of my dog, my father and my cat within three months contributed to all this - never, had it ever been this bad. My concern is, did you start to see new growth and the new growth fell out with the older hair?
I've been seeing that. My doctor also told me my hair may never be as full again either and I'm going on the 4th month of this so far.
I also lost weight due to extreme depression (from 128 lbs to 115 lbs) in two months could factor in too.
Hello! I’m so sorry you went through all that! I can’t begin to imagine how hard that was! My hair was falling out for 5 solid months before it stopped. It started at the end of December and finished at the very end of May. I only really noticed the regrowth at the beginning of June. In all honesty I didn’t really look in a mirror for 5 months because I hated what I saw. It was literally overnight that it stopped and once that happened, the hair I noticed starting to grow in June then continued to grow. I think in one area it looks a little thinner but nothing that particularly concerns me. It’s now been just over 2yrs since it first started falling out and I’m not pretty much back to normal. 5 months, does seem to be the magic number though from my conversations with others. I wish you all the best!!
@@Betweenengland it gets so annoying falling out every day. How much hair do you think would lose daily, right up until the day you only had a few lose hairs? I think mine is 150 to 200 every day, I also am losing the new growth baby hairs. I seriously have 4 bag fulls of lost hair since January, I could make into a partial wig right now. I do have a lot of hair though, but not thick.
It was around 150 a day that I lost constantly for 5 months, until it stopped overnight and then it was literally like 4! It was shocking the difference! Honestly the best way to cope is to kind of accept it, which I know is so so so hard, but I felt so much better when I just threw away what was coming out, I stopped counting around 3 months in, but I knew the same amount was falling out but I wouldn’t obsess about it. I guess I lost around 50% of my hair in total...once I knew how it was falling out and that I could try to cover it up, that helped. In the beginning I was terrified I’d lose massive chunks and wake up half bald one morning but thankfully that never happened!
@@Betweenengland yeah, you kinda have to just go with the flo until it hopefully resolves. Part of me just wants to cut my hair off. Also, my doctor wants me to keep the hairloss for appointments to make sure it continues to be telogen effluvium... (sounds like a retro club lol)
I noticed you had more hairloss on top, mine is the sides and lower back which is really weird... nothing on top - I feel like an umbrella head haha
I was lucky, my doctor seemed pretty confident so I didn’t have to keep anything! 🙈 I’m glad I didn’t do anything with mine because I think it made me look ‘back to normal’ much quicker, I was just able to clip shorter bits down until it caught up to a point where it blended in. Like I said, 2 years since I start and I’m completely back to looking normal. If I had done something drastic I think I would still be trying to recover as such! I did lose a lot from the top but then I also lost a lot right at the top of my neck as well. One of the first places I noticed it coming out was actually on the side. I had one area where it was quite bad that was on the back on my head, but just like the baby hair situation I never really looked in a mirror and I didn’t want to see how bad it was, so I avoided feeling for gaps and really studying where it was coming from! It was only when it was coming back that I kind of got an idea of just how bad it was!
Mam I have typhoid fever in August 2019 And after 2 months in October 2019 my hairs falls out two large clumps and now my hair shedding is low not completely stopped but still my hair density is not coming back it's been 2 years....will my hair density ever comeback plz tell me I m highly depressed????
Hello! I'm so sorry you are struggling! Unfortunately as I'm not a medical professional, I do not know the answer to your question :( I'm not sure what the side effects of Typhoid Fever is so that might be causing something else to happen? I had all my blood levels tested to see if it wasn't another condition. Mine was purely stress but I know other illnesses can cause it to happen too.
I went to a cruise for 8 days and I overexposed my scalp to sun , it sunburned felt like burning and quite red . After 1 month or so it started thinning and shedding. Shedding lasted for 13 months , basically a month ago it stopped .however , the areas affected still have the thinning hair being able to see my scalp Eventhough shedding stopped.not bald spots just thin. Will it thicken again and get covered or filled in? Before the cruise my hair was perfect.
Hmm I’m not an expert, I can only compare it to my experience which was stress related. If yours was because of sunburn then it may have damaged the hair follicles/scalp? The way my dermatologist explained mine was that imagine in winter when grass dies a bit, but in the spring it comes back green because the ‘seed’ in the ground is still ok...maybe the ‘seeds’ may not be ok? I have some areas that feel a little bit thinner but not by much. Maybe it’s worth asking a doctor? I did have steroid injections in the worst area so that might help?
Update?
Will it fully recover? If not how much it will come back? I suffer too
For the most part I think nearly all of mine grew back :)
why do i lose 400-500 strands everyday like since 8 months.. everyday and double on wash day
Unfortunately I can’t answer that for you. Have you visited a doctor? I had a blood test done to make sure it wasn’t something bad going on. They told me in my case it was due to stress...
@@Betweenengland they told me female pattern hairloss and i am just 22,Did ur middle partition get wider? amd hairloss on crown?
@@sonamvishwakarma7704 yes but it grew back after 6 months so it looks back to normal again now. I told told that mine was only a temporary thing and it seems to be that way. It stopped after 6 months and it’s grown back again now. Your probably isn’t TE as that’s different from female pattern hair loss, I believe that’s a genetic thing? (I’m not a medical professional though!)
@@Betweenengland yeah its something genetic😭
@@sonamvishwakarma7704 update on your hair?
Can you take prp for hair growth
Mam will TE fully recover?
I can only speak for my experience but I’m back to normal and it’s been 3 and half years now since it first started. It grew back and I didn’t lose anymore since.
may God bless you
Wooo hooo x
Did your hairfall stopped??
It did yes! It was falling out for 5 months in total. It stopped end of May 2019 and it’s been growing back since :) I pretty much look back to normal again now!
@@Betweenengland happy for you😊😊❤️...i m suffering from te since September 2019 and now my shedding has slowed down but still it falls i dnt know when it will stop !! Can you plz tell me in which month your shedding totally stopped and did you feel itching when your hairs were growing???
It started end of Dec 2018/beginning of Jan 2019 and it completely stopped end of May 2019. Literally overnight. I woke up the next day and brushed it and only like 3 hairs came out instead of 50 odd and it’s been the same ever since! Mine was triggered from stress. Have you been to the doctors just to make sure it’s not a hormonal imbalance or anything? I had my blood taken to make sure it wasn’t anything going on in my body as such, like with my thyroid. I was always asked if I eat meat because being a vegetarian can cause it too due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies!
@@Betweenengland i had done with my blood tests nothing was there .. everything was normal ...may be bc of stress ..idk... whenever i wash my hair it used to fall a lot ...i don't know what to do now ...sry my english is not so good ....day by day i m loosing my personality..it's heartbreaking 💔
Please do not apologise for your English! I’m actually an English second language tutor so it’s my job and I can understand everything you are writing :) That’s really sad, I’m sorry you are feeling like that, I know how it feels :( Have you tried 4-8-4 breathing to deal with stress? If you search it on TH-cam there are lots of videos showing you how to do it. Also ‘tapping therapy’ might help? Again it’s something you can do on TH-cam in your own home. It’s meant to help your body deal with stress :)
