Now a days, Stress has created much more impact on our lives.Rapid heart rate, sleeplessness, upset stomach—the effects that stress has on your insides gets a lot of well-deserved attention, but we often overlook how it can affect what you can actually see on the outside, including your hair and scalp.
The best way to address these symptoms is to manage your stress and what’s causing it; exercise, yoga and meditation can all help, too.in relaxing your mind.
If you feel like more hair than you would expect is falling out, or you are losing it quickly, it is worth checking in with your doctor: Significant hair loss can sometimes signal an underlying condition, such as anemia, polycystic ovary syndrome and certain thyroid disorders.
A major psychological or physical stress such as a death in the family, surgery or childbirth can have a powerful effect on your entire body, potentially causing hairs to fall out in clumps.The temporary condition, called telogen effluvium, begins around the time of the trauma, and causes a large number of hair follicles to suddenly shift from the growing phase to the resting phase. (Usually only about 10 percent of follicles are resting at any one time, which is what causes you to normally lose 100 hairs per day.) Increased shedding begins immediately following the trauma, but you may not notice it until two to three weeks later. Telogen effluvium can last for two to six months, and it can take up to 18 months for your follicles to completely recover.
Whether you’ve been putting in long hours at the office for months, dealing with an ongoing personal crisis or are simply experiencing a rough few days, your stress increases up the production of certain hormones and releases pro-inflammatory chemicals that can compromise your scalp’s barrier function. That means it’s easier for moisture to escape, potentially leaving your hair and scalp drier, and for irritants to get in and cause stinging, tingling and itching. Once this happens, even hair care products that may not have bothered you before may now cause an uncomfortable reaction making your hairs look dull.
