Hair Loss From Stress Tips

How Can Female Hair Loss From Stress Happen?

Hair loss from stress is a real thing that can happen to any women.

When a women is stressed out or so upset about any given situation in their lives that causes emotions to run high with feelings such as anxiety, depression, anger, or shock, their hair can actually start to fall out due to the immune system weakening because of the body's emotional state. 

Stress can also cause your hair follicles to go into a “resting phase". This is technically called the Telogen phase in the hair growth cycle. When the hair is in the Telogen resting phase, new hair strands will not be produced and you will only get shedding which causes the hair loss. 

Telogen effluvium is a form of temporary hair loss that usually happens several months after a person experiences a traumatic event of stress.

What Happens When Our Body Stresses Out?

Different issues can weaken our immune system such as anxiety, stress, depression, shock or even anger.

Our emotions can highly influence our health based on scientific research.

New research shows that our own emotions can play an important role on our immune system. 

Basically any kind of negative emotion can have a bad reaction to your immune system and can cause hair loss.

I have witnessed women who have gone through hair loss thinning after a very sad event has happened in their lives. 

Some of my clients hair used to be full, shiny and beautiful then suddenly became dry, weak, thin, brittle and lost it's shine. 

When they asked me why, I knew it was most likely caused by the traumatic event that just happened in their lives, even though it happened a month or so prior. 

Their reaction usually is unbelief thinking that couldn't be, but hair loss from stress is a very real thing that I have seen happen.

Also revisiting the same clients in happier times some time after things have more than settled down for them suddenly their hair was back shiny and beautiful again!

So for me, I truly believe in the emotions and immune system working together, because of this fact, I beg you to think positive as much as possible for your own health's sake.
