Have you noticed more hair in your brush - hair loss? Does your scalp feel itchier or more sensitive? You may have not made the connection, but stress can have an impact on your scalp condition, according to leading trichologist Stephanie Sey.

When we are under a lot of pressure or have heightened anxiety, our bodies release high levels of a hormone called cortisol which can cause an increase in the production of sebum and change the scalp environment.
Sey explained: “Increased levels of stress can lead to excessive hair shedding known as telogen effluvium. During stressful periods your hair may be shocked from the growing phase to the resting phase resulting in shedding a few months later.”
