Recovery Timeline Questions
Hey guys, about the end of December 2025 I started to experience a lot of hair loss. I would estimate about 150-200 pieces every time I showered. The last picture is how my hair looked just about 5 months ago, it was dense, never had a problem with my scalp showing, and defined curls. These next few photos are how my hair looks current day. I lost about 70 pounds in 3 months and honestly I wasn’t doing it a healthy way at all as you might’ve guessed. I wasn’t eating properly, almost starving myself, just to lose the weight. This obviously made my hair shed like crazy. My doctor did diagnose it as telogen effluvium, I stabilized my weight for about 4 months now. I finally went from 150-200+ in hair fall to about 15-25 pieces, back to my normal range. I am starting to see small baby hairs on my temples again, or at least what I think are baby hairs. Let me know if I am mistaken or wrong about that. But my question for anyone who has gone through this is that now that my hair loss has stabilized again, what can I expect in recovery? What is a broad estimate to when I might be able to see enough density again in my hair? I appreciate your guys time.
