Diffuse Alopecia (Telogen Effluvium): Restoring Balance to the Hair Cycle

Introduction
Diffuse Alopecia, also known as Telogen Effluvium, is a temporary condition that causes sudden, widespread hair shedding. It occurs when a large number of hair follicles prematurely shift from the growth (anagen) phase to the resting (telogen) phase. Unlike localized bald patches, the loss is evenly spread across the scalp and is usually reversible once the underlying trigger is addressed.

Common causes include physical or emotional stress, iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal shifts (e.g. postpartum or menopause), chronic illness, major surgery, or the side effects of medications. When managed properly, the hair can recover fully within several months.

Treatment Protocol for Diffuse Alopecia

Step 1: Stimulate and detoxify the scalp
1.3 Dixidox de Luxe Peeling
Apply to dry or damp scalp and massage gently. Leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use once a week to exfoliate the scalp and improve absorption of active treatments.

Step 2: Cleanse and support follicle health
3.1 Dixidox de Luxe Intense Shampoo
Apply to wet hair and massage until a lather forms. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse. This shampoo revitalizes follicles and promotes healthy growth conditions.

Step 3: Boost circulation and fortify strands
3.4.2 Crexepil de Luxe Classic Lotion
Apply to damp hair after washing, distributing from mid-lengths to ends. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse. This lotion helps nourish weakened hair and stimulates the scalp.

Step 4: Rebuild from within
8.0 DSD de Luxe Complete
Take 2 capsules daily for a minimum of 12 weeks. This supplement provides essential nutrients to counter deficiencies and promote stronger, more resilient hair.

Conclusion
Telogen Effluvium can be distressing, but it is typically temporary and treatable. By addressing both internal and external factors, this protocol supports recovery of hair volume, strength, and density while restoring the natural rhythm of the hair growth cycle.
