Скачать или смотреть Stress, Hormones, or Ozempic? What’s Causing the Hair Shedding Spike

Over the past few years, we’ve documented a spike in telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding triggered by illness, stress, or hormonal changes. Normally, about 10% of hairs are in the shedding phase — with telogen effluvium, that can jump to 30–40%.⁠
⁠
Common triggers include COVID, emotional stress, poor sleep, coming off birth control, and nutrient deficiencies like low iron or vitamin D. Even weight loss medications like Ozempic can trigger shedding (linking our GLP-1 video in the caption).⁠
⁠
It also feels more common because people are finally talking about it — clinics are reporting more cases, and social media has made hair loss more visible, especially among women in their 20s and 30s.⁠
⁠
The good news? Most telogen effluvium cases are reversible once the trigger resolves. But if shedding continues past six months or you notice widening parts or bald spots, it’s time to see a dermatologist to get to the root cause.⁠
