It may seem like your hair is falling out at a rapid pace, and it can be alarming to see dozens of hair strands fall out within a very short period of time. However, it is normal for a healthy individual to lose dozens of hair strands daily. If you believe that your hair loss situation is much more significant than this or if you feel that new hair is no longer growing, you may understandably be concerned. After all, your hair is one of your more noticeable physical features. Hair loss can impact how self-confident you feel and how others perceive you to be. It can affect your personal and professional lives. While there are many causes of hair loss in men and women, stress is a common cause that could be contributing to your current issue. Understanding the stress-related hair loss conditions is the first step to take to restore hair on your head. There are two primary conditions that describe hair loss caused by stress. The first of these conditions is called telogen effluvium. This condition is caused by excessive emotional or physical stress. If you have this type of hair loss condition, the hair will stop growing for approximately two to three months. Because new hair will not grow to replace natural hair loss, it may seem like your hair is thinning. Typically, hair will start growing back on its own within six to nine months.
The other condition is known as alopecia areata. This type of hair loss condition can be much more pronounced. Hair may fall out in patches over a relatively short period of time. It is caused by white blood cells targeting hair follicles. With a serious case of alopecia areata, hair across the entire scalp may be affected. In fact, body hair can also be affected. This condition may improve on its own over time, but in many cases, professional treatment is required.

Estrogen is a natural and necessary hormone, but too much estrogen - for both men and women - can cause hair loss. Too much estrogen can cause hair loss and thinning hair. Many times, an increase in estrogen is caused by perimenopause, ingesting or touching endocrine disruptor items and gaining weight. Estrogen affects the hormones, which in turn affect the ability for your hair to grow. You will find that with estrogen dominance, your hair does not grow in strong and healthy. You will also find that the hair that you do have is prone to thinning and starts falling out.
