Hair thinning is more than what you see.
Back-to-school stress, being a die-hard sports fan, and your dating life have more to do with your hair than you think.

How getting your kids—or yourself—into a new routine affects your hair.
Summer vacation is over and the ongoing (and seemingly endless) demands of parenting mean that stress levels, sleep, and nutrition can all take a hit as you try and find your new routine—leading to dry, brittle hair and thinning.
How stress affects your hair:
The stress hormone cortisol signals hair follicles to prematurely shift from a growth state (anagen) to a rest state (catagen). Over time, stress can also indirectly impact other interconnected systems such as disrupting hormone levels and nutrient absorption needed for hair growth.25-29
Pre-date nerves? Your hair can feel them too.
Dating can be exciting and fulfilling, but can also be stressful, particularly in today's digital world. Uncertainty, vulnerability, and potential rejection may trigger the body's stress response which can impact the hair growth cycle, leading to hair thinning and shedding.
How stress affects your hair:
The stress hormone cortisol signals hair follicles to prematurely shift out of the hair growth phase, accelerating the time it takes for hair to shed. Over time, stress can also indirectly impact hormones and nutrient absorption needed for hair growth.1-5
The unexpected connection between sports fandom and hair.
Everything from the not-so-nutritious snacks and alcohol that often accompany games, to the stress of following your team, can impact physiological processes important for hair growth.
How stress and nutrition affect your hair:
The stress hormone cortisol signals hair follicles to prematurely shift out of the hair growth phase, accelerating the time it takes for hair to shed. Over time, stress can also indirectly impact other hormones and nutrient absorption needed for hair growth. Key nutrients are needed to build hair and support a healthy hair growth cycle.18-20
You—and your hair—are what you eat.
Key nutrients, like protein and vitamins, are needed to build hair and support a healthy hair growth cycle. So the foods you eat (or don’t eat) can lead to nutrient gaps that leave your hair follicles without the nourishment they need.
How nutrition affects your hair:
As a micro-organ, our hair follicle is affected by nutrient gaps. Key nutrients are needed to build hair and support a healthy hair growth cycle. These processes can be further impacted by life stressors.6-8
Could the products you use be affecting your hair?
Personal care products, like antiperspirant and cosmetics, can contain certain ingredients (think: parabens) that increase the toxic load on your body. While exposure to daily toxins is completely normal and unavoidable, too much exposure cumulatively can impact your overall health and your hair.
How lifestyle affects your hair:
Lifestyle includes your surroundings, the products you use, and the foods you eat, which can interfere with your body’s detoxification pathways and weaken the health of the hair follicle.13-17
Going to bed late? Your hair knows.
Late nights spent scrolling and binge-watching a new show may seem like a good idea, but that lifestyle comes at a cost: The quality sleep you lose can impact biological processes required for hair growth and can affect the stress hormone cortisol.
How stress affects your hair:
The stress hormone cortisol signals hair follicles to prematurely shift out of the hair growth phase, accelerating the time it takes for hair to shed. Over time, stress can also indirectly impact hormones and nutrient absorption needed for hair growth.1-5
New motherhood, menopause, and why they impact your hair.
During life stages like pregnancy and menopause, women experience changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. These hormone shifts, along with sleep disturbances, and increased stress can lead to changes in your hair.
How hormones affects your hair:
Changes in hormones can make your body more susceptible to the DHT hormone. DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually close so hair can no longer grow.21-24
