Is Hair loss and stress-related | what is the solution

Types of stress-related hair loss

The association of hair loss and strain can be categorized at different severity levels. The three types of hair loss due to stress are as follows:

Telogen Effluvium hair loss

It is a temporary hair loss due to excessive shedding and turning off the active follicles into a resting phase due to sudden shock. In an average human, nearly 85% of the hair follicles are inactive mode while the rest of the 15% is in the resting phase. In the case of telogen effluvium, 70% of the follicles turn into the resting mode. Hair falls rapidly within few months due to dead follicles even by simply combing or washing your hair.

Treatment 

The only viable treatment for telogen effluvium is a surgical hair transplant. The trauma of the hair follicle can be reversed somehow by surgery. One can simply enhance hair growth with the consumption of proteins and vitamins.

 

Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania, also known as a hair-pulling disorder, is a psychological disorder that includes a recurrent, irresistible desire to pull hair from the body areas and scalp. It is a coping mechanism to deal with frustration, anxiety, loneliness, or stress.

Treatment

It is the most common example of hair loss and stress that diminishes by reducing any physical and mental health issues associated with hair loss. The only hair loss treatment for this is Behavior Therapy.
