• Did you notice excess hair fall in the shower or
  hair stuck in your comb in the past few months?
  Beware! It could be stress-related hair fall.
  This pandemic has triggered sudden stress in our
  lives in the form of increased household work,
  job losses, salary cuts, online classes or stress
  due to isolation. All this stress might result
  in several health implications, hair fall being
  one of it.
• Hairfall itself is a reason for stress resulting
  in further hair loss, so in the blog, we will
  share our insights on tackling hair fall by
  adopting healthy measures. But if the hair loss
  is massive, we would suggest you to consult a
  Dermatologist in Pune and with consultation, seek
  Hair loss treatment in Pune, which is readily
  available.
• How Is Covid-19 Responsible for Stress-related
  Hair loss?
• The three components stress, hair fall and
  covid -19, are indirectly related to each other.
  People are aware and taking measures to protect
  their family and themselves. But, the pandemic is
  a tough time. People are going through more
  stress in comparison to a regular routine. Some
  factors for giving stress are
• Increased household work
• Increased pressure of maintaining hygiene,
  cleanliness and sanitation
• The shifted onus of offline education to online
  mode
• Increased office work while working from home
• Job loss and salary cuts
• All the above reasons compile and create stress
  leading to hair loss.

• How stress leads to hair loss?
• When we are stressed, our energies are channelled
  in an optimal way into what is required to deal
  with stress. In the process of energy
  optimisation, our hair follicle goes into the
  resting phase and does not produce any hair
  strands. It also becomes weak over time, so weak
  hair falls off without the growth of new hair.
  This is how stress leads to hair loss.
• How to know if your hair fall is stress-related?
• Hair fall is expected some hair fall is
  necessary for the growth of new hair follicle.
  But, if you notice your hair thinning in a short
  period ( 6-10 weeks), or excess hair fall while
  brushing or bathing, on your pillows or towels,
  you must consider seeking treatment for hair
  fall.
• Types of Stress-Related Hair loss?
• There are three types of stress-related hair fall
  conditions. They are as follows-
• Trichotillomania- In this condition, hair sheds
  because of extreme stress, anxiety, depression or
  boredom. The person feels relaxation by pulling
  out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, and lashes. It
  leads to hair loss because the stress has already
  made hair strands weak and prone to falling.
• Alopecia Areata- It is defined by bald patches on
  the scalp. It is caused due to an autoimmune
  disorder when our immune system attacks the hair
  follicle making it prone to fall.
• Telogen Effluvium- Typically 5 -10 of hair
  entering the resting phase is normal. But in
  stress, the percentage increases, thus pushing
  the hair follicles to fall off.

• Is the Hairfall reversible?
• Yes, since the hair fall is stress-generated,
  treating the cause will automatically improve
  results. Hair fall can be treated by following a
  healthy regime. In a few cases, you can take up a
  certified clinical solution for hair loss and
  hair growth that ensures quick recovery from hair
  loss. You can consult our dermatologist in Pune
  for treating hair loss.
• How to manage Stress-related Hair fall?
• We can counter hair fall by checking four
  parameters that are as follows
• Diet- Sometimes, our body does not absorb the
  vital nutrients required from the food. Also, we
  skip meals when in stress, which leads to
  deficiencies in the body, further leading to hair
  loss. We should ensure a good diet including
  vital nutrients such as vitamin A, B, E, K
  minerals such as zinc, potassium, iron and
  protein as intake, that can revitalise our hair
  roots restoring hair loss.
• Stress management- Its imperative to include
  stress buster activities to mitigate
  stress-related problems. We must practise
• Positive thinking
• Exercise
• Socialisation
• And Relaxation techniques such as yoga,
  meditation or breathing exercise.
• Hair Care routine- Its essential to keep the
  scalp clean. Use a gentle shampoo and
  conditioner to cleanse and moisture hair. Do
  regular oiling as it will moisture scalp and
  promote hair growth.
• Use expert serum- Serums are specially designed
  to reach many layers beneath the skin, so using a
  good serum helps promote hair growth.

• Hair Loss itself is associated with stress and
  makes you socially image-conscious, that is why
  people want a better-proven solution for checking
  hair loss. Some of the clinical solutions for
  restoring hair loss are as
• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment - It is a
  treatment in which a high concentration platelet
  in plasma, rich in bioactive proteins, is
  injected in the hair follicle. It directly helps
  in restoring and rejuvenation of scalp preventing
  hair loss and promoting hair growth eventually.
• Mesotherapy- In this therapy, a vitamin-rich
  solution is injected in the scalp area for
  neutralising DHT hormone for promoting hair
  growth. It is a slow process and takes 4-5
  sessions depending on the results.
