I've recently started noticing my hair everywhere. I went to the hairdresser, they noticed the hair loss and said it was due to 'stress,' but didn't suggest any solutions. Can it really be from stress? Or could it be a vitamin deficiency or something? When I look in the mirror, I can't see myself as I used to, I don't know what to do.
How long have you been noticing the hair loss? I went through a similar phase, and the doctor said it was due to a vitamin D deficiency. Have you ever tried getting a blood test?
They say it might be stress, but I think you should also look into vitamin deficiencies. One of my friends had a zinc deficiency and that’s how they recovered. I think testing is essential.
But it seems a bit like that, you might just brush it off as stress. Are you really feeling stressed these days? Or do you think that just because "everyone is saying they're stressed?"
Yes, hair loss can be triggered by stress, but the underlying cause is often something else. Particularly hormonal or nutritional deficiencies. For example, thyroid issues can cause hair loss. You can also consult an endocrinology specialist.
I'm actually not feeling very stressed, but I can say there's been a bit of busyness lately. However, I've never experienced such excessive shedding before. You mentioned tests, so what should I get checked, I wonder?
Seeing hair in the shower is really a bad feeling... There was a time when every time I fixed my hair, clumps would fall out. The doctor said it was due to stress but also mentioned I had anemia, and I managed to get it back on track with iron supplements.
I'm going to say something, but maybe you haven't noticed it either. Did you change your shampoo or something? A friend of mine ruined her hair because of shampoo, and it came out later. I think you should consider it.
