Stress = Hair Loss

It is so cliché to say that once upon a time I had long luxurious full hair, but it was true.  I even have pictures to prove it. But, as I get older and assume more responsibilities, stress inevitably follows and I have lost a significant amount of hair. I know that extreme can causes hair loss and so “they” tell you to get control of the stress in your life. I think that is a very contradictory thing to say. I value my appearance and naturally I think full hair is beautiful.

Therefore, when I have issues with my hair it causes me stress. The stress comes from my hair loss and my hair loss comes from my stress.  This seems to be a vicious cycle and one in which I feel trapped.  Perhaps I should take up something like tai chi or meditating, or get a new job, or come into money to relieve the stresses in my life and perhaps my hair will grow back in its usual thick, wavy strands. But those are not realistic options; they seem nice, but not realistic.  So, I think I will do some research and see if hair loss shampoo really works and find one that is right for me.  I have enough to stress about in my life and the added stress of hair loss is too much.
