Hair Loss Due To Stress

Have you ever wondered why your hair began to shed excessively, leaving noticeable breakage spots? You once had healthy, beautiful hair that would make  men  go into a trance when you entered the room, The whispers would begin, "who is that foxy mama?" Come on, you remember those days! At one time, you could get almost any style you wished for, but now things have changed. There could be a number of reasons; such as, stress, over-processing, heat damage, medicines, sickness, hormonal changes, or nutritional factors that may contribute to excessive hair loss. Today we will talk about the stress factor and Steps to growing healthy hair.



Stress

We all go through some types of stress at one point or another in our life. 

The stress of everyday life. You know we have to get the kids ready for school, get ourselves ready for work, cook, help with homework and after-school activities; meanwhile, trying to stay looking like a supermodel for our mate. Some of us may even be in school ourselves. Well, we need to take time out of our busy schedules to relax so that we will not harm our health or beauty.  

Stress can cause the hair to go into the resting stage earlier than normal. That may cause excessive shedding of hair. The kicker is when a person starts to have hair loss, it may stress them out more causing more breakage. Ladies, I know we have a lot to do, but we must take care of our stress levels.

 Have you ever seen someone going through a lot of mess and their hair began falling out? They may even lose or gain weight.

Stress can be the cause of various types of hair loss such as: 

1- Telogen Effluvium - 

Stress can make an enormous amount of hair follicles go into a resting phase earlier than normal. ( It may cause you to see hair loss when washing & combing your hair.)

2- Trichotillomania -

This is when stress causes a person to tug and pull out their hair unconsciously. 

According to Mayo Clinic"Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh), also called hair-pulling disorder, is a mental disorder that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body, despite trying to stop."

3- Alopecia Areata – 

When a person loses clumps of hair because their immune system is working against the hair follicles. The immune system can be weakened by stress.
