TEENAGE STRESS MAY RESULT IN EARLY HAIR LOSS

Ever since the beginning, hair loss has been a problem of man. Though this disorder isn’t really noticed back then since hair loss comes naturally among the elderly. Nowadays, mainly because of our busy lives, hair loss has been striking not only elderly men but also younger men as well. Tiring and stressful situations in work could cause hormonal changes and this can have a direct effect to the growth of hair. Asian men for example, blame stress from work as a huge contributor to hair loss.

Surprisingly, there has been raising cases of hair loss in teenagers. Again, stress has been the number 1 contributing factor to teenage hair loss, especially school work, stress from peers and also video games. Again in Asia, a lot of kids are addicted to video games and in some instances, some these kids just collapse because of not taking in an food. This lack of rest and nutrition can significantly decrease the supply of proteins and vitamins that are important for hair growth.

Constant exposure to stress can lead to an acute condition called telogen effluvium. This is where all of the hair follicles enter the telogen phase. In the normal hair growth cycle, the telogen phase is the time where old hair is shed out, after which enters the next stage (anagen phase) where new hair growth occurs.

Other conditions that can lead to telogen effluvium are malnutrition, giving birth, undergoing a major operation, anemia, crash diets and certain drugs.

The best way to stop this kind of hair loss is to learn how to coup up with stress. Remember that telogen effluvium is a temporary condition and hair will eventually grow back once the cause has been resolved. To aid in stopping further hair loss and influence hair growth, a natural-nutrient rich hair loss treatment is best for this type of hair loss. Providing all the amino acids and important b complex vitamins to the scalp can stimulate new hair growth and stop any further hair fall.
