For Gen Y (average age 28-40), working overtime, high expectations from themselves and those around them, and other factors such as stress, health, and life burdens have led some to experience premature "thinning of hair." And it's not just a cosmetic issue, it's a sign that your hair and scalp are sending out a call for help.
Why does “hard work + stress” cause hair to thin faster?
Research clearly shows that…
-
In a study of 13,391 Korean people, those who worked 40-52 hours/week had a 1.57-fold higher risk of alopecia (problematic hair loss) compared to those who worked <40 hours/week and those who worked >52 hours/week had a 1.74-fold higher risk.
-
Research from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute suggests that chronic stress, particularly the stress hormone cortisol, deactivates hair follicle stem cells, resulting in longer telogen efflux periods and reduced regrowth.
-
According to the Cleveland Clinic, in telogen effluvium, which is caused by stress, hair can enter a resting phase and lose up to 70% of its anagen growth phase in a short period of time.
Bottom line: Heavy workload + serious stress = a multiplier increase in hair thinning/hair loss (e.g. 1.5-1.7 times the rate in one job) and the hair root process is directly affected.
So what should Gen Y understand?
-
Thinning hair at this age isn't solely caused by karma — there are also contributing factors like chronic stress, hormones, decreased hair growth, and scalp inflammation.
