Stress and Its Effects on Hair Loss

We’ve all heard the stories of hard working men and women whose stressful lives have lead to a head full of grey hair and/or hair loss. The question is...is there a correlation between the two?

Hair loss induced by stress usually occurs after surgery, severe illness or even childbirth, but can also be caused by work, the death of a loved one, financial woes or divorce. The hair loss can occur in sudden and at irregular times so the best thing you can do to determine if your hair loss is due to stress is consult with a dermatologist who can take a biopsy from your scalp, which can determine the state of your hair follicles.

How you can reduce stress in your life:

  1. Meditation
  2. Deep Breaths
  3. Drink hot tea
  4. Get a regular massage
  5. Regular Exercise
  6. Eat healthier
  7. B Vitamins
