All you need to know about stress and hair loss
Today, stress is a serious issue that every
individual faces. We also see people around
feeling overwhelmed due to the pressures that
they face as part of the modern life. But too
much of stress is bad for our health especially
our hair. People who are under chronic stress and
have noticed their hair lacking the luster and
falling out faster than usual, it is something
that they really need to worry about. In this
blog, we look at the few ways stress might be
creating havoc on your hair. Your hair falls out
more Extreme stress can lead to hair loss and
this kind of Hair Loss is medically termed as
Telogen effluvium. This type of hair loss is
triggered when one suffers from bouts of flu or
fever, is changing jobs, has recently given birth
etc. But how will one know if they are losing
too much of hair? As per experts, if you are
shedding hair that is twice as much as usual and
it lasts for more than two weeks or more you can
blame stress for it. The other stress related
hair loss may happen in small coin sized patches
and is a characteristic of alopecia areta that
can sometimes lead to complete baldness. In this
condition, the immune system attacks hair
follicles but the exact cause is still not known.
But as per some experts, if
2
someone is under stress, the blood sugar and
blood pressure naturally shoots up and eczema
too has a tendency to flare up, all of it leading
to alopecia areata that worsens with stress. The
hair growth is very slow When one suffers from
extreme stress, even following a healthy diet is
quite difficult. Many a time, because of the
hectic schedule there is no time left for
cooking a proper meal and relying on fast food
and food from restaurants becomes common.
Unhealthy eating habits and unbalanced diet can
take a toll on your hair condition. And when you
body is stressed, it may require higher levels of
vitamins and minerals than usual. All this leads
to a simple conclusion that if you do not provide
your hair with the right nutrients and minerals,
it may not grow as it needs to. You like to pull
out your hair People who suffer from stress can
be ailing with a disorder called
trichotillomania. It is basically a psychological
condition where the sufferer tends to pull out
their own hair due to anxiety and emotional
strain. As there is certain stigma attached to
such condition and is a relatively rare
condition, a sufferer may not seek any help for
it. But if you suspect you might suffer from
this condition, it is better you seek an
appointment with a dermatologist or a
psychiatrist. Ways to manage stress and prevent
