Much more than four million Brits are suffering from such intense stress it is making their hair fall
out, according to a new study. One in ten adults across the UK is going through hair loss or premature baldness due to stress conditions. Women are suffering more than men, with 74 per cent
saying they are stressed compared to 59 per cent of men, according to a survey of 3,000 people
by Hairhelmet. co. uk. The generation of mums who have been making an effort to do it all - work,
care for a home and relationship and raise children - are the worst hit, paying the price for long
hours at work and home with stress-related healths issues. The survey found that females
between the age of 35 and 45 are the most likely to suffer from stress-related problems such as
eczema, migraines and high blood pressure. And 12 per cent of women say stress makes their
hair fall out compared to just eight per cent of men. Alopecia areata, where indiscriminate bald
patches on the head manifest, is often a result of stress. It can lead to alopecia totalis, complete
baldness, like that suffered by television presenter Gail Porter. Gail, 35, lost all her hair due to
stress after the breakdown of her marriage last year. Anne McCracken, stress expert for the
International Stress Management Association, said:" Stress puts the whole body out of balance
and weakens the immune system." People who are stressed can have symptoms like insomnia or
hair loss that go on for years and never get better because they do not stop being stressed.".
The survey found that the most usual cause of stress is work, with one third of respondents
naming that as the most stressful aspect of their life. Work was followed by children (20 per cent),
money (15 per cent) and relationships (10 per cent). Anthony Hancock, from Hairhelmet. co. uk,
says:" This survey divulges that we are a nation of genuinely stressed people." We know from
talking to our customers that a lot of people suffer from thinning hair or hair loss due to stress."
Actually, losing your hair can also be very stressful, as our personal appearance is very important
to us, which is why so many people want to try our product to restore their thinning locks.".
Forty-one per cent say stress makes all of them smoke or drink more and a mighty 81 per cent
say they argue more with their friends and family when stressed.
One in two women say they can't sleep at night and a mammoth 72 per cent say they turn to
comfort eating to ease their stress.
