Your guide to understanding telogen effluvium 👇
Designed by a Certified Pharmacist & Trichologist
Hello, I am Julie Pernet,
Doctor of Pharmacy, Certified Trichologist & Founder of the MakeMyMask laboratory.
For several years, I have been providing consultations to people facing sudden, diffuse, and often very anxiety-provoking hair loss: telogen effluvium. This type of hair loss sometimes occurs without warning, after stress, emotional shock, illness, childbirth, or a deficiency… and is too often met with responses such as: “It’s temporary,” “it will grow back on its own,” or “there’s nothing to be done.”
👉 However, it's not that simple. Yes, telogen effluvium is reversible. But it's still necessary to understand why it occurred and how to properly care for the scalp to stop hair loss and promote healthy regrowth.
I wrote this guide to help you understand the mechanisms of telogen effluvium, to identify possible triggering factors (stress, deficiencies, inflammation, scalp imbalance…) and above all to implement a comprehensive, natural and effective treatment, validated in trichology.
What you will discover in this guide:
✅ How does the hair cycle work and why can so many hairs fall out at the same time?
✅ Common causes of telogen effluvium: stress, postpartum, deficiencies, inflammation, scalp microbiome…
✅ Classic and natural solutions: what is truly useful (and what is not), based on trichological expertise
✅ Common mistakes that worsen or prolong the fall
✅ My recommendation for a comprehensive approach: scalp care, lifestyle, diet, supplements, and daily routines
Why did I create this guide?
Diffuse hair loss can be extremely unsettling: seeing clumps of hair fall out, feeling its density decrease, dreading every wash or brushing… This often generates anxiety, loss of confidence, and a feeling of helplessness. Yet, in most cases, it is possible to take action. By better understanding the underlying causes of telogen effluvium—disruption of the hair growth cycle, inflammation, deficiencies, chronic stress—you can finally take targeted, gradual, and lasting action without damaging the scalp.
This guide has already helped many people to slow their hair loss, to better cope with this delicate period and to support healthier regrowth, above all by regaining understanding and control over what is happening to them, from the root.
What I would like you to know:
I know how difficult it is to experience unexplained hair loss, to wonder if it will stop, if the hair will grow back "like before," and to doubt oneself in the face of often vague or contradictory answers. We try solutions at random. We worry. We search for answers. And sometimes, we end up thinking it's "normal" or that we simply have to wait.
👉 No, it's not inevitable. This guide is here to provide you with clear, reassuring, and scientific explanations, and above all, a real action plan tailored to telogen effluvium. You are not alone, and you deserve to understand what's happening—and how to take the right steps.
See you soon in the guide,
Dr. Julie Pernet
