There are many causes of hair loss and stress is a top contributor. Whether it’s caused by an acute stressor, such as chemotherapy or going through a divorce, or chronic stressors, such as dieting, not sleeping, or taking certain medications, stress is most likely involved in the hair loss equation.

Stress can trigger or worsen different types of hair loss. Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that involves rapid shedding of hair over a short period, usually a few months after a stressful event. It occurs when significant stress pushes hair follicles into a resting, or telogen, phase and can be caused by physical or emotional stressors, hormonal changes, or other factors. Menopause is stressful. Midlife women experience physiological symptoms that create a stressful life. Up to 70% of postmenopausal women will experience hair loss, thinning, widening of the part, or a receding hairline. While just managing your stress alone may not bring back your hair to where you’d like it to be, it is important to have strategies that work for you.
