Your hair
has a way of telling you if your body is in balance. If you are healthy - physically as well as
emotionally - your hair will be radiant and shining and your scalp pliant and
moist.
If you
are not well physically, or if you are upset emotionally, your hair becomes
dull and lifeless - it will begin to fall out, and your hair will become waxy
with the overproduction of your traumatised sebaceous glands.
If
your hair is thinning or you are experiencing baldness and it seems abnormal
either because you are young or female, it is more than likely that stress is
the culprit of hair loss. Your hair is
one of the first places your body shows distress. Illness, medication and
imbalances in nutrition all show up in you hair and scalp.
Usually,
it is not mild job or life stress that triggers hair loss, more likely it is
extremely serious stress to the body that causes hair to stop growing and fall
out. These types of stress can be initiated by some types of medications,
diabetes, thyroid disorders and even extreme emotional stress, but also can be
caused by commonplace life events like childbirth, miscarriage and surgery.
Any major
change in our lives can be reflected in the condition of our hair, scalp and
skin. We reflect our health and
well-being in the condition of our hair and scalp.
But how
does stress actually effect hair loss? Well hair grows in repeating cycles. The
active growth phase lasts around two years and is followed by a resting phase
that spans three months, after which the hair falls from the scalp. Normally,
every strand of hair in your head is at a different point in this cycle, so the
shedding is barely noticeable: a few strands in the shower drain, some more on
your brush, a hair or two on your pillow. A normal head sheds at most 100
strands of hair a day.
However,
when the body undergoes extreme stress, as much as 70 percent of your hair can
prematurely enter the resting phase. Three months later, these hairs begin to
fall out, causing noticeable hair loss.
The
person will not become completely bald and the thinning will be fairly
unnoticeable. However, it is this three month delay and the fact that the
trigger seems so unrelated that causes confusion on the part of the patient
concerned about hair loss.
