While the end of a marriage isn’t an entirely abnormal circumstance, it seems that women who have endured the circumstance may be at risk for another, less expected result- hair loss. Loss of spouse through divorce isn’t the only factor that triggers hair loss- death of a spouse can cause the symptom as well. And while stress seems to be the connecting thread for the two, a new study indicates both may have a strong impact on hair loss in women.
Genetics remains the biggest factor for hair loss in women, but the second strongest predictor of the symptom of thinning hair is loss of a spouse. Dr. Bahman Guyuron, department of plastic surgery chair at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and lead author of the study commented on environmental factors versus life stressors and female hair loss.
