Embrace the Power of Healthy Hair with Us

As a functional trichologist (Hair Loss Specialist) our perspective on the interconnection between emotions, health, and hair health is intriguing.There is a concept that emotions can impact physical health, including the development of diseases like cancer.
Hair has been regarded as a barometer of overall health for centuries. Changes in hair texture, thickness, and even loss can often reflect underlying health conditions or imbalances in nutrition, hormones, and emotional well-being. Trichologists play a crucial role in identifying these underlying issues and providing guidance on how to address them to improve hair health.
Trichologists like myself can offer valuable insights into the holistic aspects of hair health, including how nutrition, emotional well-being, and overall health can influence the condition of the hair. By addressing these underlying factors, individuals can improve not only the appearance of their hair but also their overall health and quality of life.


Lets look at the effect of stress on our hair & body. 


Stress
Probably the most known cause of hair loss. But do you know how it affects your hair? 


High levels of stress can lead to different types of hair loss. It may inhibit hair regrowth, cause the body’s immune system to attack the hair follicles, or cause an irresistible urge to pull one’s hair.
There is a well-established association between stress and hair loss. Hair loss results from multiple factors, including environmental and genetic factors.
While acute stress boosts the immune system, chronic stress suppresses and over-activates the immune system, leading to inflammation.
Sustained and chronic stress can cause inflammation in or around the follicle, which can disrupt its mechanisms through endocrine and neuroimmune mediators like cortisol and corticotropin-releasing hormones.
Hair growth involves three stages:

• Anagen: the active phase where hair grows from the follicles
• Catagen: phase involving the death or shrinkage (apoptosis) of the follicle at the base of the hair strand
• Telogen: resting phase in which the hair follicle is dormant and has no hair shaft growth. In this phase, the stem cells are quiescent, and hairs shed more easily

Stem cells found in hair follicles drive this hair cycle.
The hair follicles were also in an extended resting phase (telogen). To add, corticosterone also prevents the cluster of cells (dermal papilla) beneath the stem cells from secreting a molecule that activates the hair follicle stem cells.


Types of stress-related hair loss
Three types of stress-related hair loss are associated with extreme stress levels.
Telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is the excessive hair shedding of resting (telogen) hair. In a typical person’s scalp, 85% of hair is anagen, while 15% is telogen. Some stressors induce 70% of anagen hair into telogen, leading to hair loss.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), telogen effluvium or excessive hair shedding is common among people who experience extreme stress. Common stressors include:

• excessive weight loss
• giving birth
• major life stressors, such as job loss, divorce, death
• high fever
• recovering from an illness
• stopping taking birth control pills
• surgery
• minor illness
• death of a loved one

Other inducing factors include:

• systemic diseases
• major surgeries
• drugs
• nutritional deficiencies

This shedding usually occurs 3 - 6 months after the stressor. It is usually self-limiting and lasts for about 6 - 12 months. Chronic telogen effluvium exceeds 6 months.


Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata involves the body’s immune system attacking the hair follicles in the anagen phase, which forces them to the catagen phase. Because the stem cells in the follicles are not destroyed, the hair follicles continue to regenerate and continue cycling.
Clinically, it presents as small bald patches on the scalp or around the body and may lead to total loss of scalp or body hair.
Environmental triggers play a significant role in its development. Some also consider stressful life events as significant factors that trigger the condition. There is evidence to show that genetic factors may also play a role in the development of alopecia areata.


Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder, involves repeatedly pulling hair anywhere on the body. It is part of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A person with trichotillomania uses their hands, tweezers, or other devices to pull their hair.
The exact cause of trichotillomania remains unknown, but many people report the occurrence of a stressful event before the hair-pulling behavior. It may act as a person’s coping mechanism to stress and anxiety.
