In general, we know that stress can affect us in different ways. What you may not know is that it can also have an effect on your hair and scalp. Yes, just like you read! If your hair is falling out or becoming greasy, it’s likely that stress has something to do with it.
First, we need to understand what stress is.
And it is a natural reaction of our body to situations that require a response or adjustment on our part. Therefore, it can be considered as something good or bad depending on the situation. And especially bad if we talk about the effect it can have on our scalp.
Second, why does stress affect hair?
There is no single reason why this happens. In fact, it’s going to depend on different factors like:
#1. The impact on your hormone levels. When we get stressed, we elevate a hormone called testosterone. And if you have sensitive follicles, this is going to make your hair thinner.
#2. Produce more oil. Stress can cause our scalp to produce more oil, upsetting the balance of microflora. In fact, with stress, we can see dandruff become even more complicated.
#3. Not eating right. When we get stressed, our body decreases its ability to digest and absorb nutrients and stops eating. And the impact this has on hair is that it starts to fall out.
Third, what to do to reduce stress?
We already know that stress is an almost normal part of our day-to-day life and routine, especially if we have a fast-paced lifestyle and need to fulfill different responsibilities.
However, it is essential to remember that maintaining our physical and mental health is as important as fulfilling our responsibilities because it is about fulfilling ourselves. In addition, in that way, we will also be taking care of our hair and preventing it from falling out or getting damaged.
So what can we do to reduce stress in our lives? Each of us will choose activities that work for us and fit our lifestyle, so here are some ideas:
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Mindfulness
- Meditation
- Exercise routine
These are all activities that will unplug you to help you connect with yourself and focus inward. You will see how over time not only your hair will feel better, but your lifestyle will be calmer and healthier.
Love,
