Why stress destroys our hair

Modern trichologists have proved that a strong stress leads to loss and dulling of hair: we are nervous, and as a result our head of hear suffers.

But for many this connection is not obvious, because from the moment of strong experiences to the beginning of hair loss, it can take three months - the curls react to the experienced troubles not immediately.

Why is this happening?

Experiencing events associated with a strong nervous strain, the body begins to produce excess hormone cortisol - it is its effect that leads to the fact that 70% of the hair begins to grow slower or stop at all in growth. As a result, after a while we get a thinning hair.

Fortunately, in six months it can recover. If, of course, we get out of this difficult situation.

And if not?

Then you can endlessly feed hair with various medications, and the improvement will be only temporary. It is indispensable to maintain hair, but it is more important to determine the root cause of deterioration of their well-being.

Complex life situations (parting with loved ones, change of job, moving, divorce) can cause a prolonged depression, which for a long time worsens the general condition of the body.

A daily home problems? Constant haste, the eternal lack of time - the cause of chronic stress in many women.

However, to preserve health, beauty and youth is quite possible, and for this you can apply a variety of techniques.

How to "deceive" stress.

We understand very well that it is unacceptable to depress for a long time, but we also can not react to any troubles.

One way out: you need to learn to relax.

Often we are straining from the fact that a lot of seemingly urgent cases are piling on us.

But are they really important in reality?

To figure this out, set aside 10 minutes of time to do a list of cases per day and prioritize. Mark each point of the plan, focusing on such criteria: "very important", "important", "you can postpone". Cases marked with the label "can be postponed," delete from the list, and it will decrease almost half. Start executing the plan with the most important cases, then move on to less significant ones.

Even if you have a very busy schedule, enter into it relaxing activities. It can be reading, watching your favorite TV show, meeting with a friend, an evening walk, spa-procedures - in general, all that will bring you pleasure.

Take part in children's games, take care of animals - this will help you to recover and relax.

Breath! Do not breath.

Breathing is the first and obligatory stage of all methods calming the nervous system.

When you realize that you are nervous and fussing, stop for a moment, concentrate on yourself, breathe deeply and calmly.

Begin the breathing exercise with a slow exhalation, then take a deep breath and pause the breath (count to four).

Stop the flow of thoughts and focus on the inner sensations: feel how your body relaxes, the negative moves back. Repeat this way six times, and you will notice that they have become calmer. These exercises need to be performed at least three times a day.

Support your hair.

Try to look after yourself in any situation. After plunging into their problems, and not devoting enough time to their appearance, we create conditions that worsen the condition of the hair.

As a rule, only an integrated approach brings real results.

It is desirable that on your table there were natural products. Enter in the diet vegetables and fruits, nuts, vegetable oils, sour-milk products, fish. If you can not provide a full meal with the help of products, take vitamins - those that soothe the nervous system.

Trichologists advise to exclude all aggressive effects on hair - do not torture your locks with hot styling, do not discolor and do not paint them with chemical dyes with ammonia in the composition.

And it is better to pamper your head with therapeutic masks. Maskotherapy once a week will improve the appearance of your curls and restore the internal structure of the rods.

If the problem has already become very acute, try drugs in ampoules and intensively acting serums.

With a strong loss of hair, take care of the activation of blood circulation in the scalp. To do this, you can use a laser comb or a Darsonval apparatus - they will "wake" the "sleeping" hair follicles and rejuvenate the skin. After all, thanks to these devices, our head of hear will get stronger nutrition and will be enriched with oxygen.

Nevertheless, all of the listed products will only have a temporary effect if the cause of the deterioration of the hair is stress. You will be helped only by a return to a positive perception of life.
