"I started seeing a change in my hair not long after I finished my chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 29. I remember them putting the mirror in from of me (the day I had my CNC applied), and I cried - I saw me again. It was a weight off my shoulders - it's freedom…it's like styling your own natural hair. It's the best thing ever!"
Did you know that the stress you feel on a daily basis could be contributing to your hair loss? Stress is something many people face on a daily basis, whether it is at home, within relationships, at work, or at school. That’s not a good thing because it can impact health in many ways. Yet, one thing to keep in mind is that stress and anxiety can cause an unhealthy level of stress hormone in the body that leads to hair loss. And, until you deal with that stress, you may find it hard to get your hair to grow back.
In many situations, hair loss is related to factors like genetics or stress. Even hormone changes may cause hair loss. For those who have significant hair loss that is not attributed to one of these concerns, a condition called folliculitis decalvans could be to blame. This is not a common condition, but it can occur to many people, and when it does, it can create long-term, often permanent results. That includes baldness and scarring. If you think you may have this condition, be sure to reach out to your doctor for immediate help and support.
