Telogen efluvium is condition where active hairfall occurs and can be due to many reasons one of them being nutritional deficiencies . A proper evaluation of the hair and analysis should be done and a combination of dietary supplements with hair treatments should help in reduction of hair fall and lead to new hair growth .
