How Stress Causes Hair Loss?
Camry James
The problem of thinning hair may be caused by a genetic
predisposition that comes from a family history of thinning
hair. Health problems such as Hyperthyroid or Hypothyroid
conditions; medications such as chemotherapy, any hormone
replacement medications including birth control pills are
culprits often overlooked.
It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle.
However, some people may experience excessive (more than
normal) hair loss. Hair loss of this type can affect men, women
and children.
Are you Stressed?
Thinning hair can also be attributed to stress and trauma that
can cause constriction of blood supply and poor vitamin
assimilation to the scalp and hair. Or, simply from poor
nutrition and diet that can include a high consumption of
animal fat, high protein and fad diets. Even external
environmental toxins and pollutants, such as chlorine, metals,
minerals and water pollution cannot be ignored. All these
factors can be causing your clients' hair to look thinner.
Under a microscope
The hardening prevents hair growth. The hair cycle slowly
becomes disrupted and more hair is shed than normal. In time
hair growth stops completely and baldness results. Here you see
an example of a hair follicle as seen under a microscope.
Age and hormones
Most people naturally experience some hair loss as they get
older. But age, changing hormones and heredity cause some to
lose more hair than others.
Female-pattern baldness starts with the replacement hairs
becoming progressively finer and shorter. They can also become
almost transparent.
It has been recorded that about 50 percent of women experience
hair loss have female-pattern baldness! Unfortunately, it is
often permanent just as in men. Not all hair thinning and loss
must be permanent. There has been various cases of
perimenopausal women, for example, experiencing thinning and
lost hair who, once their hormone levels become balanced, can
experience the thickness of previously thinning and the
regrowth of lost hair that occurred during the ebbing and
flowing hormonal years.
Hot Tips
Get Wavy! Permanents can help give volume to fine-textured hair
-- but hair must be healthy, not dry or brittle. Only a gentle
body wave is advised, because tighter waves can damage the
hair. Because chemicals in permanents are harsh, a permanent
should be only a last resort for fine-haired people.
