Is putting oil in your hair good? (Telogen Effluvium)
Before starting the treatment the diagnosis has to be confirmed.
TE and AGA are the two most common cause of hair loss in women.
A simple hair pull test will help to diagnose TE.
If it is acute TE, the symptoms may be present for about 6 months. If it chronic TE, it may persist beyond 6 months.
The stress trigger has to be eliminated for the hair loss to stop.The trigger could be anything - infection, pregnancy, medications, nutrient defiency especially iron, hormonal imbalance etc. So if TE is confirmed all these have to be looked in to to find the cause.
Sometimes chronic TE may coexist with AGA. The following will help you how to differentiate the two -

Distinguishing androgenetic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium when associated in the same patient: a simple noninvasive method.
BACKGROUND:
Distinguishing chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) from androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may be difficult especially when associated in the same patient.
OBSERVATIONS:
One hundred consecutive patients with hair loss who were clinically diagnosed as having CTE, AGA, AGA + CTE, or remitting CTE. Patients washed their hair in the sink in a standardized way. All shed hairs were counted and divided "blindly" into 5 cm or longer, intermediate length (>3 to <5 cm), and 3 cm or shorter. The latter were considered telogen vellus hairs, and patients having at least 10% of them were classified as having AGA. We assumed that patients shedding 200 hairs or more had CTE.
The kappa statistic revealed, however, that the best concordance between clinical and numerical diagnosis (kappa = 0.527) was obtained by setting the cutoff shedding value at 100 hairs or more. Of the 100 patients, 18 with 10% or more of hairs that were 3 cm or shorter and who shed fewer than 100 hairs were diagnosed as having AGA; 34 with fewer than 10% of hairs that were 3 cm or shorter and who shed at least 100 hairs were diagnosed as having CTE; 34 with 10% or more of hairs that were 3 cm or shorter and who shed at least 100 hairs were diagnosed as having AGA + CTE; and 14 with fewer than 10% of hairs that were 3 cm or shorter and who shed fewer than 100 hairs were diagnosed as having CTE in remission.
CONCLUSION: This method is simple, noninvasive, and suitable for office evaluation.
