We talked to a board-certified dermatologist to help us better understand the triggers behind everyday hair loss. Here's what she had to say. 📝 ft. thenue_co mbgpartner
Dr. Barr:
There are many essential nutrients that directly impact hair structure, texture, and viability. Nutrients including iron; zinc; selenium; niacin; vitamins A, D, E; folic acid; amino acids; protein; and fatty acids can affect hair growth and color.* Therefore, inadequacies or deficits in these nutrients can spell hair troubles.
For instance, we know that oxidative stress has been linked to hair loss, and antioxidants are compounds that are able to neutralize reactive oxygen species , thereby helping us regain antioxidant vs. oxidant balance. Zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, C, E, and polyphenols are dietary antioxidants that play a key role in reinforcing our endogenous antioxidant system.* This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.
What's important to know is that the physical evidence of the shift isn't immediate. Someone may not see loss of hair until three to six months after a stressful event. For those individuals dealing with prolonged stress, however, this hair loss conundrum may last longer. The good news is that this thinning of hair is temporary if the underlying source of stress is addressed.
While loss of 100 hairs is typical for most individuals, due to the robust estrogen levels and more hair follicles in anagen during pregnancy, it is totally normal that with the sudden shift in estrogen levels, that hair follicles shift from anagen to telogen phase. Air pollution can impact your hair in a host of ways, including contributing to hair loss, accelerating hair aging, affecting hair color, and causing buildup.
