How Can I Make Hair Grow Faster?

7. Stress and Hair Loss

Stress can actually cause hair loss. Telogen effluvium occurs when continuous stress causes hair follicles to enter a resting phase. The body marshals resources to deal with danger, so growing hair follicles take a back seat to more important functions. Trichotillomania is a compulsive urge to pull hair from the scalp or eyebrows. It may be the origin of the phrase 'pulling my hair out' that people often say when they are very frustrated. Keep stress at manageable levels with yoga, meditation, and other relaxing measures.
