We love a good hair oil and a silk bonnet, but sis… if your stress is through the roof, your hair will show it. Your edges, your crown, and even your scalp are deeply impacted by what’s going on inside your body.
Here are five ways stress and anxiety affect your hair:
1. Cortisol Slows Hair Growth
Stress hormones disrupt your hair cycle and cause excessive shedding.
2. Blood Flow to the Scalp Decreases
Less blood = less oxygen and nutrients = thinner hair.
3. You Neglect Your Routine
Let’s be honest—stress makes us skip wash day and self-care.
4. You Wear Tight Styles as a Coping Habit
Pulling your hair too tight can worsen tension and breakage.
5. Chronic Inflammation Damages Your Scalp
Stress triggers internal inflammation that affects your scalp barrier.
How to Heal:
-
Practice scalp massages
-
Hydrate from the inside out
-
Use products that calm and detox the scalp
-
Set boundaries. Take your peace seriously.
