    Chronic Telogen Effluvium Or Female Pattern Hair Loss

    Hi guys. I'm looking for some opinions on my hair loss. It started 3 years ago out of nowhere. I remember on the day I used a new shampoo and when I came to brush my hair it was all tangled and tight, and as I brushed it about 300 hairs came out, but only on the left side. I binned the shampoo...
