Chronic stress can lead to excessive hair fall. Check out these effects of stress on hair health and effective tips to reverse it from a certified trichologist.

CAN MAKE HAIR Dry

Stress can disrupt the production of sebum (natural oils) on the scalp, which can make your hair dry and frizzy.

CAUSE Hair Loss

Chronic stress can negatively impact your hair health as it pushes hair follicles into the resting phase, which results in excessive hair loss.

PREMATURE HAIR GREYING

Chronic stress can affect overall well-being and impact blood circulation, which can result in premature hair greying.

Hair thinning

Chronic stress can lead to hair thinning as it reduces the ability of the body to reduce nutrition absorption in the body.

Hair Breakage

Stress can weaken hair, making it more susceptible to breakage and split ends, which affects the appearance of your hair.
