Factors that affect hair growing

We previously discussed about how certain food items can promote hair growth, but did you know that your lifestyle can affect it too? Let’s take a look at it today.

Stress can be a contributing factor to hair growth, or for the lack of it. It may be inevitable, but somewhat controllable. Under constant stress and pressure from work, family, and other societal pressures, the internal systems that affect hair growth can become compromised. In fact, stress can contribute to the onset of alopecia areata (where the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles) and other hair loss disorders.

Stress impacts hair because high cortisol levels in the body may cause hair follicles to go into a “resting” phase or stop growing entirely. High amounts of stress can eventually lead to hair falling out, either in small amounts or in larger patches.

Finding ways to keep stress under control is essential. Calming rituals like yoga, meditation, or just taking a few deep breaths when life gets crazy can all go a long way.

Environmental factors play a big part in hair growth as well. It can include a broad range of factors that can impact hair wellness, like exposure to toxins, pollution, and even smoking—all of which can be hazardous to hair follicles.

Living in high pollution environments can lead to sensitive scalp syndrome. Symptoms include itching, dandruff, oily scalp. Air particles like dust and smoke can settle on the scalp and cause these symptoms. Over time, this can lead to hair damage.

Smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke is also hazardous for hair. Smoking can cause damage to the DNA of the hair follicle. It can also cause oxidative stress in the body, a factor that can lead to hair damage and even hair loss. Second-hand smoke isn’t healthy for hair either. Quitting smoking or encouraging your loved ones to quit isn’t just good for your lungs — it can help prevent hair damage.

It’s not always possible to move or make lifestyle changes, but taking steps to protect the hair from environmental stressors are important nonetheless. Washing hair after it is exposed to pollutants, wearing a hat outdoors, or using a deep conditioner with protective ingredients can help.

So, let us try to take the little steps to improve our hair health today.
