Have you noticed more hair loss than usual after a period of stress or tension?

This is no coincidence. Stress is one of the most common causes of hair loss, but it is often temporary and can be controlled if you understand the cause and deal with it properly.

How does stress cause hair loss?

When under stress:

• The body enters a state of “stress”.
• Body hormones change
• A large number of hairs enter the shedding phase (Telogen)

This is called:

Telogen Effluvium (Telogen Effluvium)

When does hair loss appear after stress?

It is very important to understand:

Hair loss doesn't appear immediately; it usually appears after:

Two to three months after the event or stressful situation, for example:

• Work pressure in January
• Rainfall begins in March

Signs of hair loss due to stress

• Widespread hair loss all over the head
• Without defined gaps
• pop up
• It increases during washing or combing
• The scalp is usually normal (without severe inflammation).

It is temporary, and hair will grow back within:
