Stress hair fall, also known as stress-induced hair loss, refers to the shedding or thinning of hair caused by physical or emotional stress. This condition can manifest in various forms, such as telogen effluvium, where stress pushes a large number of hair follicles into the resting phase, leading to increased hair shedding.
Stress-related hair fall can be triggered by events like illness, major life changes, emotional distress, or nutritional deficiencies. While the hair loss caused by stress is often temporary, it may take several months for hair growth to return to normal.
To manage stress-induced hair fall, it’s important to:
- Reduce stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support hair health.
- Consult a healthcare professional to address underlying conditions or explore treatments such as supplements or topical solutions.
- Practice good hair care habits to avoid further damage.
If the problem persists or worsens, seeking advice from a dermatologist is recommended.
