Is holiday hair loss a real thing?

Yes, actually, while the holidays may not be a direct cause of hair loss, the stress the planning and family encounters that get a bit rocky can certainly lead to hair shedding. What’s a girl to do?

First, don’t worry, stress-induced hair loss is a temporary condition and there are a few simple ways to make sure you’re taking good care of your beautiful hair.

1. Maintain a healthy diet with high protein - more turkey anyone?
2. Improve quality of sleep. Easier said than done we know but try to cap your alcohol intake at least 5 hours before hitting the pillow.
3. Reduce stress and promote relaxation by meditating, find a quiet place for prayer or some deep breaths or hit the mat for some relaxing yoga.
4. Bump up your biotin supplements a few days prior to the hectic holidays, this will definitely help out.
5. Use hair oils on your scalp as a sure fire way to stimulate hair growth.

So take a moment to realize while the holidays can be stressful, it doesn’t have to take a toll on your precious locks!
