Stress is inevitable, but chronic stress can remain traces in health, including hair. This is not an imagination if you notice that your brush will increase your hair, especially when you are nervous. Stress can directly affect hair growth.
The impact of stress on the hair
When the body is stressed, a hormone called cortisol is secreted. Cortizol is essential for the body’s “struggle / escape” reaction, but if cortisol rises for a long time, it may disturb the hair growth cycle.
The hair entry is a cycle through three stages.
• Growth period (growth period)
• Retirement period (migration period)
• Terrogen (rest)
Stress can cause more hair wraps into the pause, causing excessive hair loss.
Type of stress -related hair removal
There are three main types of hair removal due to stress.
Hair loss of pause: This temporary condition occurs when the hair entry (dropping out) period due to serious stress. It is often cured naturally, but falling off can last for several months. Circular alopecia: Stress can cause autoimmune reactions, the body can attack your own hair, and cause spots. Hair removal habits: This psychological state often involves removing hair to cope with stress and anxiety.
How to fight stress -induced hair removal

The doctor evaluates your condition and determines whether these treatments are suitable for you.

Role of nutrition in hair health
Like other parts of the body, hair is kept strong and healthy, relying on appropriate nutrition. Nutritional deficiency is an important factor in hair health, as the hair is weakened, slow growth, and more hair loss.
Nutrition’s effect on hair growth
Hair wraps depend on the essential vitamins and minerals for functioning properly. Nutrients such as vitamin D, iron, and vitamin C helps to develop hair wraps, transport oxygen, and to absorb nutrients. These areas deficiency can lead to weakening of follicles and dropping.
Nutrients required for healthy hair
To support the optimal hair health, the body needs to take certain nutrients in a well -balanced manner.
Vitamin D helps the formation of a new hair follicle, which is the basis of fresh hair growth. If the level is low, this process may be slow or stopped. Iron supplies oxygen to the hair follicle and promotes growth. Iron deficiency reduces the supply of iron, which can cause hair loss and thinning hair. Vitamin C enhances the body’s iron absorption capacity so that the follicles can ensure what they need to grow.
In the discussion of hair loss, deficiency of nutrients such as vitamin B7 (biotin) and zinc is often referred to, but scientific evidence is still in turn. Nutritional deficiency does not cause hair loss, but it can worsen existing problems.
Procedures to optimize nutrition for hair health
To ensure a diet that supports healthy hair, follow these steps:
Eat a balanced diet: Intract the protein with low fat, whole grain, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fat into the diet. Focusing on nutritious foods: It includes foods rich in iron, such as spinach and lens beans, nuts and seeds that are rich in zinc, and eggs rich in biotin. Consider supplements: If it is difficult to get enough nutrients just by meals, consult a medical provider about your needs.
Stress and biased diet: Vicious cycle
Stress and poor nutrition are often closely related, creating a vicious cycle that causes heavy damage to the hair. If you feel stress, you may get your hands on comfortable foods with high sugar and less nutrients. These inappropriate choices can take over the nutrients required for the body to work optimally over time and worsen hair loss.
Conversely, nutritious diets can weaken immunity and disturb hormonal balance, which can be stressful for the body. This cycle affects the overall health and directly affects the hair.
To break this cycle, you need the following two approaches:
Create stress: Incorporate the stress reduction method into your daily life and ask for the help of an expert without hesitation as needed. Improve diet: Focus on nutritious foods that give energy to the body and avoid temptation to rely on processed snacks and sugar snacks during stress.
