Everyone loses approximately 100 hairs per day, out of the 100,000 contained by the average scalp. A few contributing factors are lifestyle, styling, and the infamous aging process. Other common causes of hair loss include Genetic hair loss, age, gender, and hormones.

Stress and Hair Loss:
It is true that stress can cause hair loss. Extreme physical or emotional stress, for instance stress associated with injury, illness, or surgery, can cause one of two types of hair loss:

  1. The most common type, Telogen Effluvium is the less severe type of hair loss where the hair stops growing and lies dormant, only to fall out 2 or 3 months later. It generally grows back within 6 to 9 months.
  2. Alopecia Areata is the second type and involves a white blood cell attack on the hair follicles. Similarly, the hair also falls out within weeks and usually in patches. The main difference is the entire scalp and even body hair can fall out. Hair sometimes grows back on its own however; in many cases, treatment may also be required.

There are lots of  hair loss treatment for men and women that can help to relieve or even regrow hair. Do some research, talk to a doctor, and then decide what might be best for you.
