| The body will strip the nutrients that it needs, during stress, from other areas of lower priority, as a temporary measure, but the body must be given a recovery period, or, these temporary measures may have an undesirable permanent effect.
A design fault, so to speak, exists in the stress response, in that we appear to be unable to respond, in a different manner, to differing stressors . For example we change our physiology the same whether we are literally having to fight for our lives or are working to a tight deadline under time pressure.
Stress utilises certain nutrients in large quantities. If our diets do not contain these substances or, we do not increase the supply of them during a stressful period, we could become deficient in these nutrients. This could have an adverse effect on our hair if the nutritional deficiency is not corrected.
