Whether due to work pressures, financial worries, personal relationships, or health problems. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Alterations in the hair&#8217;s life cycle <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair goes through three phases in its life cycle: <\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anagen (growth phase), <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catagen (transition phase) <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telogen (resting phase). <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This cycle, which is constantly repeated, is regulated by a very fine balance in which many factors intervene and is very sensitive to changes precisely because of its high complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress is a clear example, as it can interrupt this natural cycle by prematurely inducing more hair follicles into the telogen phase, where the hair falls out. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process is known as telogen effluvium, one of the most common forms of hair loss related to stress, which is characterized by intense and sudden onset hair loss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Cortisol: the stress hormone <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In times of physical or emotional stress, our body releases a hormone called cortisol in order to &#8220;prepare&#8221; the body before this stressful situation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain levels of cortisol are necessary for us to develop correctly in the face of alert situations, but prolonged high cortisol can lead to internal disorders such as: immunological disorders, <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eje_intestino-cerebro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alterations of the microbiota<\/a>, indigestion, and inflammation of the body. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same way, it negatively affects the health of the skin and hair. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research suggests that stress may act as a key trigger for hair loss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Lack of sleep and hair loss<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good night&#8217;s rest is essential for overall health, including our hair. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we sleep, our body regulates cortisol and melatonin levels. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping little and\/or poorly has a negative impact on our hair health as it weakens the hair follicles and makes the hair look dry and lose its shine. In addition, long-term insomnia is a triggering cause of hair loss. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Changes in personal care habits<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress can lead us to change our lifestyle habits, making us dedicate less time to taking care of ourselves. Rushing everywhere, neglecting our diet, sleeping little, and lack of time for our hair care routines are examples of situations that contribute to hair loss. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"como-hacer-frente-a-la-caida-de-cabello-por-estres\"><b>How to cope with hair loss due to stress<\/b><\/h2>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When addressing hair loss due to stress, it is imperative to adopt a comprehensive approach. It is not only about stopping the visible symptoms, but also about addressing the root of the problem by trying to reduce stress and anxiety in our lives as much as possible.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, incorporating stress management practices, such as meditation, exercise, and improving sleep quality, can be essential to counteract the negative effects of stress on hair health. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surrounding yourself with a positive and pleasant environment and trying to find calm is a good first step.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is true that hair loss itself, the fear of losing hair, and the uncertainty of what to do about it can generate even more stress.
