Lower your stress levels
Lower your stress levels It's critical to lower stress since that's how it starts. It might seem cruel to tell you to relax when your hair is falling out, but it's crucial to stop the excessive hair shedding. Both dermatologists advise anything you can do to chill: meditation, yoga, exercise, deep breathing.

Also, go to sleep: "Lack of sleep can really affect your stress levels and increase your cortisol levels, so sleeping adequately is something you should aim for," advises Dr. Gohara. "But the real treatment is just time. We're animals and we shed just like any other animal. Sometimes shedding is just excessive, but with time that'll recalibrate itself."
