Hair Loss: Stress Related Causes

Stress can cause hair loss. Excessive emotional or physical stress generally contributes in two types of hair loss. The first type is telogen effluvium and is very severe. In this type the growth of the hair is stopped and lies dormant that falls after a long gap of three months. The replacement process also takes equally more time that might range from six to nine months. The other type is called alopecia areata where the white blood attacks on the follicles of the hair. The hair falls within patches, usually. But sometimes it involves the entire scalp and in extreme cases body hair. Though the hair grows back. But it is important to start with hair loss treatment as quickly as possible.

Beauty Quote of the Month

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Proverbs 12:15

Fools think they know what is best, but a sensible person listens to advice.

Choosing Fragrance and Perfume

Women often choose their fragrance according to their personality and chemistry without even realizing it. What appeals to them often reflects their personal self.

Fragrances smell different on everybody, so it is best not to test a scent on a friend. When shopping, stick to no more than three or four perfumes so you do not confuse them. A fragrance will smell different several minutes after you apply it, so give it some time before making any decisions.
