Often confused with baldness, or simply attributed to lack of care with the hair, the loss of the wires is not immediately linked to the evil that affects a large part of the world population: stress.

How stress acts on hair loss
To understand the action of stress in hair loss, it is first necessary to diagnose the condition of the hair. size of the problem. Losing about 50 to 100 strands of hair daily is considered normal by experts. However, care must be taken: if there is no replacement, the problem is serious. According to dermatologist Arthur Tykonciski, who specializes in hair treatments, new hair should grow to maintain balance.

In very extreme situations stress causes the hair to fall. It compromises our peripheral circulatory system, affecting the fixation of the wires. High rates of the hormone cortisol in the body, a result of acute stress, is also on the list of factors that influence hair loss.

From the physiological point of view, explains Tykonciski, hair is regarded as not very important for the body . Thus the body understands that when there is a need for proteins and vitamins it can use the nutrients directed to the wires to another needy area. Under stress conditions, the body accelerates the production of a substance known as estriol, which can prevent the entry of nutrients into the hair region and slow hair growth.

Another factor raised by specialists is alopecia areata, a disease that develops about three months after an intense stressful load. Devastating, it can make an abrupt halt in the growth of hair (or hairs) in a specific area of ​​the head or even the body. And, of course, the appearance of dandruff is also influenced by stress as well as the increase in oiliness of the hair.
