Will joining the navy increase stress hair loss, like its boot camp and training contribute to hairloss? IF IT DOES CAUSE HAIR LOSS I"M STILL JOINING THE NAVY, just want to know thats it. And i'm 18 by the way. Would increase hair loss as i get older and yes i know i have to shave of my head, but lets say i serve my time in the navy for 4 years or am off duty, and come out as regular civilian, would my hair grow back if there were plenty stress? or would it grow back during off duty normally, or would stress cause some hair loss

Medical advice on stress & hair loss? For a few months now I have had a lot of stress related symptoms; inability to sleep, lack of concentration, less of an appetite, dizziness/nausea, frequent crying at small irritations and recently hair loss. Because I constantly worry about my appearance and what others think of me the hair loss is stressing me out even further. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before? And if so are there any medications you can take to stop the stress/hair loss? It's beginning to really worry me. I know this question sounds really selfish and insignificant as there are bigger problems in the world than this, but any help would be appriciated. No stupid answers please. :)

Stress-related hair loss - any remedies that work? I used to have very thick and full hair and over the past year and it has thinned out to the point where you can almost see my scalp on the top of my head. A hairdresser said that it was a stress-related problem because hairdye, while damaging your hair, will not make it fall out that much and since it was only on the top and the rest of my hair isn't falling out. Is there anything I can do for the hair to grow back? Any products I can use?? I am an 18 year old female and as you can imagine, this is kind of embarassing. I'm really worried that it might keep falling out. I have stopped dying my hair (just in case) and I use thickening shampoos (I don't think those work, but whatever) but it's still the same. If anybody has any solutions; store-bought, home-made, change in diet, vitamins, ANYTHING, I am willing to try it.

Stress and hair loss question?? Hi, about a year ago, i had one night (just 1) of some pretty intense stress.

I have been very stressed lately (after the death of my dad two years ago) and I have been to my doctor a couple of times and to the ER one time because I have been having chest pains and back pains.. my doctor took an X-ray, EKG and bloodtests... they came out all normal. My doctor told me that I am just stressed out so she referred me to see a counselor which i am currently seeing. Now my chest pains and backpains went away, but now i am more forgetful than before and sometimes I can't concentrate when im doing my homework and school essays. My question is can Stress cause hair loss such as male pattern baldness?

stress and hair loss? A couple of months ago my aunt did my hair and she would say that I had a couple of patches of missing hair throughout my head . I didn't pay attention to it because it was unnoticeable. Now, its been a couple of months since then and when I went to wash my hair today I discovered a huge patch of hair missing in the back of my scalp. It looks like someone gave me a buzz cut or something. I also noticed after inspecting the rest of my head, that I had a lot of thinning on the sides. Someone told me that stress cause this. Is this true? I googled stress and hair loss and alopecia areata came up. It said that it sometimes it starts in bald patches and spreads throughout the scalp. Well, my patch isnt really bald it looks more like a buzz cut. Could this be the same thing? I'm a teenage female and I dont think this is supposed to be happening!

All of a sudden this past month I am losing so much hair including roots and my 18" Ringlets. I have been telling myself and everyone I am not stressed but In fact I think I am. I haven't cried or sad but really feel like exploding from the incertainties and restlessness I have been dealing with. Do you think this is reason enough for my hair loss? All this moving around started 6 months ago but this month my hair strands are coming out more than I ever seen in my life. When I was under the most stress I wasn't losing hair and now that everything is coming together and nothing to worry about - now the hair is coming out. Is a couple month long delay typical?

Has anyone experienced temporary stress related hair loss? ? how long did it last? and til u regained your hair thickness I am only 22

Stress causing Hair loss? Ok, I'm 17. My dad didn't lose any hair until he was about 40, his brother lost his hair in early 30s, and my grandad on my mothers side still has all his hair. I've been very stressed recently. I went on holiday whilst leaving an untrustworthy gf at home, she left me for another guy. I had my friend comment on my hair thinning (it actually wasnt at the time and since then I've been so stressed about losing hair) I also had a couple red highlights and my hair washed and cut at toni and guy with shampoo that had 'peppermint' in it. So surely this can't be male pattern baldness at my age? Any sugestions on what to do? I also need stress helping tips.

16...Hair Loss? Stress Or Overprocessing? Helppp? I have always dyed my hair alot since I was about 13 although I noticed my hair started falling out at the beginning of the year so I stopped dying it and left it without straightening it or anythinggg for like 5 months. I have been very very very stressed recently and depressed and the doctor said that hair dye cannot cause permanent damage- that it was the stress and loads of women dye their hair so I could keep doing it if i wanted. So i dyed my hair again when I was really upset, it was supposed to be bright blonde but ended up orange so I had to correct it with a semi permanent, when this washed out I used a black hair colour (permanent) and cut off about 3 inches and all the damaged hair was gone the hairdresser said. So now my hair is falling out again, been very very stressed again recently but my dad lost his hair young and he used to dye his hair alot, however my doctor said that my dad's was hereditory and male pattern baldness is completely different to female pattern baldness and as this does not run in my family I should be okay. Pleeease don't tell me i shouldn't dye my hair, i know i shouldn't, but now i'm just wondering what you think is causing this hair loss ( as it looks like theres a root on the end of each one ) and what i should do next. xxxxxxxxxx

Can stress related hair loss appear to be male pattern baldness? I am 22 and I recently pulled myself out of a mild depression. I had moved to a new city, I suffered high levels of stress and anxiety over a period of a year. I had chest pains from which I could not sleep and often felt it was a heart attack. I started noticing severe levels of hairloss on the top of my scalp. It appears to not be thinning out as badly as it is on the top. I quit my job, changed schools and I have managed to keep the stress levels under control. I consulted a dermatologist last week who spent 5 minutes speaking with me and didn't even bother to look physically at my hair. She just gave me the blanket response. "Oh, you're losing your hair, this is male-pattern-baldness." I disagree, to a large degree my family has NO history of hairloss and the stress was so over whelming, the hairloss was so sudden. I understand that hair returns after stress usually in 6 months? Should I wait that long from when I gained stress control before I start rogaine?

What can I do to try and grow my hair back?!

Stomach aches and hair loss due to stress?? I have been under a tremendous amount of stress lately for reasons that are beyond my control. I'm 24 years old, normally very healthy. I am now noticing hair loss/thinning for the past few months and just recently I've been having a constant stomach ache- its not bad but it's always there- it is interfering with my appetite and the way I feel all day. I have a small "throw up" feeling in my throat at times. It comes on unexpectedly. I am NOT pregnant. I'm taking a multi-vitamin daily for my hair and overall health. Can stress be the cause of this? What can I do to help? Meditation? Anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Could cat's hair loss be associated with stress in pregnancy? My cat just had kittens and for the past two months she has been losing her hair on her back half, legs and stomach. She has no redness or irritation of the skin. She isn't excessively stratching the area and I don't visibly see any fleas. Could this be stress associated with her pregnancy? I would like to take her to the vet but was told that they would give her antibiotics and if it was a skin irritation that they would clear it,if not they would run more test. But wouldn't antibiotics be harmful to the kittens if given to her. I would like to just wait to see if it clears up after she finishes nursing. I have another cat and he has not been exposed to whatever she has so I'm certain it's not contagious. If it's just stress related I'm afraid that I will send a lot of money needlessly for them to tell me this is what it is.

My hair loss due to stress? or maybe just runs in my family.? --IT'S LONG BUT PLEASE READ-- Hmm.. I don't know where to start with this... I started to experience my hair thinning on top of my head, also my hair line is way different now because I lost hair around my temples and it is really thin. I can see the follicles but the hair is not present. I think this is because I have been under a lot of stress the past 8 months or so. I am stressed because I am in debt and i'm only 17 !!! I know 700 dollars might not sound like a lot for some people, but when you leave your job and you have a gf that you gotta make it up too because of something stupid I did, it makes it alot harder to control stress, and to stop it. Heres how it went. I was 15 turning 16 when i started putting on alot of hairspray on my hair to keep the hair style i had. This went on for a year and a half until i started noticing hair falling out and my scalp was really itchy and irritating all the time. I kept on using it because i did'nt wanna leave my hair down... it just looks weird. As i kept using it my hair fell out around my temples alot, and my scalp was really dry all the time. All this happened during my stress phase because of my gf, and I had no Job. I also started gaining weight. Before all of this happened i used to be happy and none of my hair would fall out. Oh another thing is I smoked alot of marijuana for 6 months. I ended it after the incident that happened, and i had to make it up to my gf. So i had to quit marijuana, It was really hard for me because i was so addicted to it and i didnt even realize what it was doing to my life. It also made me really depressed because i couldn't quit, and my gf threatened that she was going to leave me if i didn't choose one or the other between her or marijuana.. I obviously wanted to end marijuana for her because i love her. But i couldn't at all. My brain was so fried and i would do it behind her back. When me and my girlfriend were starting to get better I ended marijuana for good. But at this time i still hadnt paid off my debts for bank, and Nubody's. Which still left me with stress. Once i noticed my hair was falling out i didn't know what to do. I kept itching it and rubbing my hands through my hair all the time. It was like a habit. This went on for a while. This just caused alot more stress and i didnt want to work at all. But eventually my mom would always tell me to stop using the hairspray and to get a job but i was so used to not having one, i was so stupid. Hair loss is a big problem for me because im only 17 right now and i dont want my hair to fall out. I dont know if its the stress or the hairspray or what ever else. My mothers side has no baldies, but my dads side has all his brothers bald and his grand father bald. But my dad actually has hair on his head which is funny except on his hair line . I used alot of shampoos too during the phase where my hair was falling out and i did no research to help me. I recently got a job and i am happy because im going to be paying off my debts. After that i hope my stress disappears at least a little bit. I stopped using hair products, stopped smoking, stopped smoking marijuana, stopped using shampoo everyday and only use it every other day. I also started working out more and im feeling much better because i can keep my head off my hair for a while. I also try to not touch my hair even if its itchy. I read on some sites that hairs will grow back once you find out what it was that was causing it. I really hope that my hair does regrow because I miss having hairstyles and i look ugly with my hair down. I just wanna be the one in my family who has a whole set of hair on his head. Ive been going through stress for about 9 months now or maybe even a year i dont recall. I know the people who are reading this might not think that it is the stress thats causing it, and you might think that what i just wrote isnt stress... But if you were put in my shoes for that whole 9-12 months you would understand my situation and what i went through with my family, gf, friends, . It was really hard for me and i am really trying to pick my life up again and im doing really well in school now. I am really proud of myself for that. But if i could regrow my hair i would be so happy because id feel more confident and more attractive. I want you guys to do your best to tell me what you think is causing my hair loss, if it will regrow, and some tips to keeping my hair healthy. Thank you all for sharing and reading my post. : )

Does stress have a lot to do with hair loss? In college last year, as a freshman, I was sooo stressed .. pulling all-nighters about once every few weeks, bad eating habits, etc. It seemed like my hair was falling out. I had to clean my floor with duct tape & came up with handfuls of hair. It was pretty disgusting. It's not like my hair was noticeably thinner ... maybe I just noticed it more cuz of the tiny room ... and then it stopped during the summer. And I don't want to have to deal with that again THIS year. Is there a solution? Like sleep more & eat more protein? :x
