STRESS & HAIR LOSS: The Hidden Connection

STRESS & HAIR LOSS: The Hidden Connection

In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become an almost constant companion. While its impact on mental health is widely acknowledged, its effects on physical health—particularly hair health—are often overlooked. Many people notice increased hair shedding during stressful periods, leading to frustration and self-doubt. So, what’s really going on between your stress levels and your scalp?

Understanding Stress-Induced Hair Loss

Stress can disrupt your natural hair growth cycle, often triggering a condition known as telogen effluvium. When this happens, a large number of hair follicles prematurely enter the resting phase (telogen) and eventually fall out, typically a few months after the stressful event or period. The good news? Telogen effluvium is usually temporary and reversible with the right care and attention.

The Science Behind It

Scientific research has revealed that stress doesn’t just mess with your mood—it can actually influence the behavior of your hair follicle stem cells. When your body is under stress, it releases certain hormones that keep those stem cells in a prolonged resting state. The result? Your hair doesn’t regrow at a normal pace, leading to thinner, weaker strands over time.

Are You Losing More Hair Than Usual?

It’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. But if you start noticing more strands in the shower drain or your brush, or you see thinning areas on your scalp, stress-related hair loss might be the cause. You may also experience:

  • Increased hair breakage
  • Changes in hair texture or volume
  • A dry or itchy scalp

What Can You Do About It?

1. Manage Your Stress

  • Exercise: Regular physical activity reduces stress hormones and boosts endorphins.
  • Meditation & Mindfulness: Calm your mind and help regulate your body's stress response.
  • Quality Sleep: Prioritize rest and aim for 7-9 hours per night.
  • Talk It Out: Therapy or counseling can provide long-term strategies to manage chronic stress.

2. Eat for Your Hair

Hair health starts from within. Make sure your diet includes:

  • Protein – the building block of hair
  • Iron and Zinc – to support scalp circulation and follicle strength
  • Biotin and Vitamins A, D, and E – for overall hair quality and growth

3. Unlock a New Approach to Scalp Care

Hair loss prevention and regrowth isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about treating the scalp. That’s where the TOUCHBeauty VITA Comb comes in. It’s more than just a hair tool—it’s a smart, science-driven way to reset your scalp health.

  • Red Light & Low-Level Laser (650–660nm): These wavelengths stimulate collagen production and awaken dormant follicles—essential for hair regrowth and thicker strands.
  • Blue Light (460nm): Ideal for oily or acne-prone scalps, it soothes inflammation and balances sebum levels.
