How Stress Affects Hair Loss
Stress can have a significant impact on our physical and mental health, including hair loss.
Stress-related hair loss can affect "self-esteem and confidence",says Hannah Gaboardi, a trichologist and Viviscal ambassador.
Anabel Kingsley, lead trichologist and brand president at Philip Kingsley, advises that if you are experiencing high instances of stress and noticeable hair loss,
"the first thing to realise is that you are not alone, and you are not 'abnormal' either."
This anxiety can create a cyclical pattern where worrying exacerbates the problem, leading to feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment or even social withdrawal.
