Hair loss due to stress

It’s well-known that hair loss can be linked to emotional stress or anxiety. There is typically about a 3-month postponement between the stressful occasion or time period and your hair falling out. Except there is analternativecausal medical reason for your hair loss, it should only last for as long as you’re going through that specific period of stress or anxiety. This doesn’t mean your hair follicles are dead or that your hair will stop growing forever. Your normal hair growth and regrowth pattern should be coming back to usualonce your stress levels are back to normal.

When you’re stressed or anxious, your body produces the ‘fight-or-flight response.’ This is when your body is making additional hormones to prepare it to deal with whatever it thinks of as being a possiblehazard. This hormonal change can have effects all around your body. When these additional hormones are made, they can affect the growth patterns of the hair follicles on your scalp.

Different types of hair loss due to stress

Stress leads to numerous different conditions that cause hair loss on their own, including: When your body tells more hair than usual to stop growing across your scalp, when you lose big clumps of hair in patches around your scalp, and when you pick and pull out hairs on your head or around your body without realising you’re doing it.

Perturbing about hair loss can be a spitefulseries. It’s easy for people to get nervous about losing their hair, which then, in turn,increases stress levels, and can cause even more hair to fall out.The most important thing to try to do is to reduce your stress levels. This will keep your body and scalp as healthy as possible.
