Five things that can affect your hair health – from hormones to stress *affiliates
Hair experts will tell you that the hair is “very boring”. It likes routine and a steady lifestyle. If you’re a busy mother like me, juggling a family and a career, the reality is that there often isn't enough time left in a day to give hair the TLC it needs.
Scalp health Eva Proudman, expert hair trichologist and star of Discovery+ TV’s The Hair Loss Clinic, explains, “We do forget what’s sitting underneath our hair. The scalp is the growing medium for our hair. If you keep your scalp healthy and well-balanced, your hair will be healthy and well-balanced.”
Although hormonal hair loss is very common for women, it can be worrying and seriously affect your self-esteem. Fortunately, unless there is a more serious underlying health issue, hormonal hair loss is often only temporary and as the body finds balance, healthy hair growth will return. Of course, you should see a doctor if you are concerned about ongoing hair loss.
Nutrient-poor diet Scalp health depends upon a constant supply of vitamins and minerals to remain healthy and encourage strong hair growth. Antioxidants in our diet are essential for allowing the scalp to protect itself and to prevent damage to skin cells that can lead to hair loss or disease. Hair loss caused by stress is reversible and hair will regrow in time, but it is important to try to find a lifestyle balance that allows you to enjoy periods of down-time and relaxation.
