Millions of people suffer from baldness, and this condition can be very degrading for some people, leading to a feeling of self worthlessness. On the other hand, there are also millions of baldness sufferers who just treat their hair loss as a fact of life - a part of growing old.

Baldness treatments are becoming more effective, owing to recent scientific discoveries. And like so many other medical and personal health dispositions, if you act on the problem right away, you've got a better chance of reducing the affects, or in certain cases, even reversing the condition.

Now it must be stated that there is not a magic pill for reversing hair loss (yet) and there is no one single cure that works for all people. As a fact, in most instances a combination of a few anti- baldness products will harvest better results than any one product or technique. Everyone is different, and because there are so many causes of baldness, the treatment will always need to be tailored to the individual.

That carries us to the question at hand, whether or not stress can cause hair loss? You see, stress is so routinely referred to as the major cause of balding, that many people believe this to be true. The fact is that stress is a cause of hair loss, so you can blame your job or your sporting team if it makes you feel better, but it is not the major cause. Although stress is a cause of baldness, it is seen only as a contributing factor, because there is one cause that affects most hair loss sufferers.

Hair loss can be caused by many factors, with more than 50% of males experiencing some form of hair loss or thinning by middle age. Women also suffer from hair loss, and around 35-40% of women will suffer some type of balding or thinning by age 60. Studies suggest that Pattern Baldness is the most prevalent cause of baldness. Pattern baldness alone affects more than 40% of the male population. Pattern baldness is easy to explain - it is a genetic disposition - it occurs naturally.

A genetic predisposition will mean that most men and women will experience Pattern Baldness. The cause of Pattern balding is very sophisticated, but in laymans terms, it occurs when testosterone interacts with a specific enzyme and is converted into what is know as dihydrotestosterone (aka DHT). DHT has a detrimental affect on the hair follicles - it is the originator for slowing down hair production and produces weaker, shorter hair - and in time stops hair from growth altogether.

The way men and women experience Pattern Baldness is very different. Men tend to experience thinning hair in certain sections or patches of the scalp and that's why most cases in men result in the 'monk' effect, i.e. baldness on top, with hair still growing at the sides and back. Women tend to lose hair evenly across the scalp, so instead of having a visibly bald patch, a woman can actually lose more hair than a man, but still appear to have a full head of hair.

There are a lot of other causes of hair loss, but none more obvious as Pattern Baldness. The other causes of balding are attributable for such small percentages of cases, and in most instances are the easiest to prevent, detect or even reverse. Other known causes of baldness are hormonal imbalances (especially in women) illnesses, paltry diet, lousy hygiene, drug abuse and last but not least, stress. Again, stress is an absolute known cause of baldness. Not a major cause, but it ranks in the top few causes.

Telogen Effluvium is the scientific name of baldness that is caused by stress. This type of baldness can also be caused by experiences such as trauma, childbirth, puberty, major surgery and even severe chronic illness. Telogen Effluvium is characterized by immediate hair loss caused by an interruption in the normal hair growth cycle. Stress and trauma cause large numbers of hair follicles to concurrently enter a stage of rest. After some time, the hair follicles will enter a stage of growth, and the old hair will be pushed out of the follicle by a new hair that is formed beneath it. The result is a period of hair shedding, and is usually self correcting, but if the stress is ongoing, then this type of balding can become chronic and eventually lead to more prevalent baldness.

So in theory you can blame your job for your baldness, or you could blame your hockey team, or football team or basketball team. But in actuality, although stress can lead to hair loss, it is one of the secondary causes of baldness. And it is only really related to more dramatic experiences that have bought on stress. Pattern Baldness is the most likely cause of hair loss, and if you act on it right away there's a good chance that you can minimize the effects.
