“Stress is an inevitable thing in life, which cannot be avoided. Whether in smaller proportions or in large, stress has its impact on our everyday life.”
Since you get up in the morning, we have to face several phases of stress that is positive, constructive, to the more strenuous vulnerable state. Although a constructive level of stress helps us in maintaining a balance between our goals and achievement and keeps us moving, an increased level of stress has its adverse effect on the various day-to-day activities.
“Stress may also lead to hypertensions, headache, backache, heart attacks, or even hair losses at greater rate then age affect.”
Stress hair falling may be a warning for us about the increased level of stress in our lives. It is most common when we are in a situation facing sudden change in our daily life that we are not able to cope up with.
These situations can be like, women after childbirth, sickness, traumatic experiences, rapid change in diet, recovering from surgery, or death and other similar incidents. In medical terms, the stress hair loss is called as Telogen Effluvin.
Under stressful situations, the hair follicles stop growing hair, which is called “RESTING PHASE.” This can be a phase that lasts until the core problem that cause stress is solved. In most cases, this phase may last for three months to one or two years.
With a positive attitude, it can be detected as a warning that we are under stress and need to control the situation. Stress hair loss can sometimes lead to more stress due to the inevitable loss of hair that is of great concern to many people especially teenagers and young women. Instead of taking in more stress, we need to understand the problem, divert ourselves from the stress situation and try to adopt one or more stress coping methods that can resolve the stress.
Stress hair loss however is a temporary phase that need not be worried but needs a special care to control the more adverse affects on the human immune system. To maintain a healthy body and mind, we need to “keep ourselves cheerful and happy.”
