What you need to know about hairloss and stress is that despite you suffering a stressful event, whether it be emotional stress, environmental stress, chemical stress or any other form of stress, the consequence it reveals on your head in the form of hairloss may not show up until 3-6 months later.  Delayed stress related alopecia.

The delayed result in hairloss from stress may be the reason why you had a bereavement in February but now its November or even January the following year and your hair is shedding!

It may also be the reason why you had a baby in January, and despite the baby being 11 months old you are now dealing with extreme hair thinning.

 Our hair grows and sheds in cycles and when stress interrupts these cycles, you may have to wait for another two cycles for your hair to return to a somewhat normal state.

 Different causes of hair loss:
