Cortisol and Hair Loss

Meaning

Cortisol and Hair Loss describes the clinically recognized association between sustained high levels of the primary glucocorticoid, cortisol, and the disruption of the normal hair growth cycle, often resulting in increased hair shedding. This connection highlights the profound impact of chronic stress and HPA axis dysfunction on integumentary health and beauty. Understanding this link is key to addressing certain non-androgenic forms of alopecia.
