Stress, we all know it. But what if long-term stress literally makes your hair fall out? In our hectic modern life, full of endless information and stimuli, hair loss and thinning hair due to stress is a common problem. Do you also get scared when you see hair on your pillow? Don't panic! Hair loss due to stress is often temporary. We are happy to explain to you how this happens, how you can prevent it and what you can do to restore your hair to its full glory.
How Stress Causes Hair Loss
Stress has a significant impact on our body, including your hair. When you are stressed, your body produces more cortisol, the notorious stress hormone. This hormone can force the hair follicles into a resting phase, which means they no longer produce new hair. The result: your hair breaks off, becomes thinner and you can even get bald spots.
Stress can also worsen existing scalp conditions like dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis, which can only increase hair loss. As if that wasn’t enough, stress also reduces blood flow to your scalp, which deprives your hair follicles of nutrients and oxygen. In short, stress can take a toll on your hair health and your self-confidence. Time to take hair loss seriously and find effective solutions.
Hair Loss? Tackle it at the Root
While eliminating stress is easier said than done, there are fortunately solutions you can use to get your hair back in top shape. Here are 7 powerful ingredients that can help you reduce hair loss caused by stress. Your follicles will thank you!
- Folate (Folic Acid): An essential nutrient that aids in cell renewal and regulating hormonal processes in the body, which is crucial for reducing stress-related hair loss.
- Caffeine: It may sound strange, but your daily cup of comfort can also give your hair a boost! Caffeine stimulates blood flow to your hair follicles and works with Folate to strengthen your hair roots and promote hair growth.
- Aloe Vera: Known for its moisturizing properties, aloe vera helps improve moisture retention in the scalp, giving your hair the hydration it needs to grow healthily. Plus, it soothes irritation, keeping your scalp in tip-top shape too.
- Shea Butter: This rich butter is like a luxurious spa treatment for your scalp. It nourishes your hair follicles with essential fatty acids and vitamins, which helps strengthen your hair and reduce hair loss.
- Panthenol: Also known as provitamin B5, Panthenol ensures supple locks. It strengthens the hair structure, which makes your hair less likely to break and gives it more elasticity.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Rich in magnesium and vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil is the secret weapon for shiny hair. It nourishes your hair follicles and reduces hair loss by strengthening and hydrating the hair.
- Avena Sativa: Soothes your sensitive scalp and reduces itching and irritation. It also strengthens the skin barrier with its rich antioxidant and lipid content.
Boost your hair: Approach and treatment
Combating hair loss due to stress requires a multifaceted approach. Fortunately, you can combine different methods to help your hair grow back and stay in top condition. Here are some practical tips that you can easily integrate into your daily routine:
-
Healthy lifestyle: This may sound obvious, but a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential for hair growth. Also, don’t forget to get enough sleep and exercise regularly to lower your stress levels, and therefore your cortisol and adrenaline levels.
-
Use the right products: Incorporate a folate-rich shampoo and conditioner into your daily routine. These products work from the outside in to strengthen your hair and scalp. Don’t mess with different products with different active ingredients – choose one that has them all.
-
Supplement with Supplements: Add supplements to your daily regimen to support your body from the inside out. These supplements are specially formulated to optimize Folate absorption and promote overall well-being.
- Relaxation techniques: Try meditation, yoga or deep breathing exercises to calm your mind and lower your cortisol levels. Or give yourself a relaxing massage with a scalp massage brush for an extra dose of relaxation. This kills two birds with one stone because you also stimulate the scalp, which makes your hair grow back faster and more beautifully.
