Stress isn’t good for health in general, but it gets especially annoying when it starts to show up on your hair.

Apart from messing with your heart health, stress shows up through visible and drastic hair loss. 

All of us suffer from hair fall on a daily basis. But you know that your problem is bigger when your hair doesn’t really grow back at a regular rate. This is the major difference between hair fall and hair loss. 

Hair fall can be due to many different external reasons like dandruff, weather change, etc. But severe hair loss is due to internal reasons and hormonal changes. 

Today, we will discuss the most problematic cause of such hair loss - stress. 

Before identifying your pattern as hair loss due to stress, you need to know about the 3 major types of stress related hair loss patterns. 

In this type, high levels of stress forces hair follicles into a resting period. These hair follicles then suddenly start to fall out in numbers larger than 100 strands per day. 

This is a type of hair pulling disorder where one literally starts to pull strands of hair under stress and anxiety. This is not limited to hair on the head but also eyebrows, lashes, etc. 

In this condition, the body’s immune system starts to attack its own hair follicles. This results in bald patches. However, stress is not the only cause of this type of hair loss.

Now that we know the three types of hair loss due to stress, let’s go through the many visible signs. These signs are nothing but your body telling you that you need to relax!
