Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.

community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice
Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.
