Does your hair fall out when you’re stressed?
Did you know that even healthy stress, such as exercise, can cause your hair to fall out?
Because, even though we love our hair, our body doesn’t need it for survival.
If our body thinks we are in danger (aka stress), it will eliminate anything not essential to survival (aka hair).
It was tricky for me. I didn’t think stress caused my hair to fall out for the longest time because I didn’t lose my hair until after the stressful event in my life.
The reason for this is because our immune system rises during stress, and “crashes” when we finally relax. This is why a lot of people get sick when they go on vacation. They relax, and the body lowers its defenses.
When I switched shampoo and conditioner, I was at the peak of a stressful time. Within two weeks, I lost less hair in the shower than I had in the year. 🙌🏼
What is the biggest hair loss trigger for you?
