Stress hair loss is easy to distinguish when you suffer from different types of alopecia such as androgenic alopecia.

Stress affects the entire surface of the scalp of the head, being more noticeable in the lateral and upper areas, while alopecia causes loss of hair density, especially in the upper part of the head.

Another symptom is the increase in oiliness in the hair, dandruff and flaking on the scalp, with a greater possibility of suffering from seborrheic dermatitis.

Prolonged stress can have negative effects on the body, such as premature aging, early mortality, chronic disease, depression, and overall poor quality of life. In addition, it can affect the hair, releasing hormones that change its pigmentation, turning it gray or white, or causing it to fall out.

A study carried out by the University of Iceland and the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico discovered that stress levels are also reflected in the amount of the hormone cortisol that is stored in the hair.

Until now, this hormone could only be detected in blood, urine and saliva.

The study analyzed hair samples from 881 women from Mexico and 398 from Iceland. They analyzed the 3 cm section closest to the scalp, since hair grows 1 cm per month, so that part analyzed represents the last three months.

They were also asked a 10-question survey about the degree of stress they felt on a 5-point scale. The results showed that women in the top fifth of stress levels had 24.3% higher cortisol levels than those in the bottom fifth. This suggests that chronic stress could be diagnosed by measuring cortisol in the hair.
