Losing hair during your Virginia divorce? Let’s Examine the Link

Everyone who has been through a divorce knows just how much stress can pile up during a divorce. In Virginia, many women have experienced hair loss or thinning hair during this time and researchers have finally made a connection. For help in dealing with stress and new responsibilities as a resident of Hampton, a divorce attorney can help.

A study conducted at Case Western Reserve University found that the strongest predictor of hair loss in woman was marital status. It's been understood for decades that stress is a major factor in hair loss, and there's no doubt that going through a divorce can be one of the most  stressful times of a woman's life.

Thinning hair, especially in a society that overemphasizes outer beauty, can be extremely painful and embarrassing for a woman; however, because stress is a lifestyle factor, it can be controlled.

In other words, when you take steps to alleviate or reduce your stress, your body can begin to return to its natural healthy state, which includes your hair. You may not be able to change your divorce, but you can change how you deal with it.

To stop hair loss you can try stress-management techniques like:  

• mediation;
• counseling;
• exercising; and
• reducing the number of stress-inducing responsibilities you have, such as dealing with the legal hassles of divorce.
