Stress occurs due to a person's response to a physical, mental or emotional stimulus. Stress is an integral part of modern life and cannot be done away with. However; our response to stress governs our body's reaction. Stress, finally results in a number of side effects such as insomnia, submissiveness and the most common among them all - hair fall. There are two types of stress: distress, which is negative, and eustress, which is positive. The positive stress is necessary for daily motivation and actually helps people manage negative stress.

Hair loss is not just noticed at the latter stages of life. It is a very common occurrence among teenagers as well as middle-aged individuals. One of the reasons is due to the fast paced lifestyle and inability to deal with social circumstances that lead to various stress related ailments like' stress related acid reflux', which is a rebound of acids in the body, frequent headaches and hair fall or alopecia. But one does not have to let things get out of hand and taking the right remedial steps can halt and reverse these symptoms including hair fall.

Some life stages make us prone to stress: teen years, exams, new job, marriage, middle age, menopause, advent of old age are some of them.

An effective way to beat stress is Yoga. But then again yoga is a slow therapeutic method that takes time to bring about the effective changes. Yoga, meditation, exercise are all effective lifestyle changes to combat stress

Oiling the hair with massage is an age-old practice in India with many benefits. It stimulates blood flow and improves follicular activity. Massaging relaxes the muscles of the neck relieving stress.

Using this common practice, one can use Parachute Therapie, a premium hair fall solution, which contains 'Root Activising

Alpha Proteins', a unique blend of proteins, minerals, herbs and vitamins; that help control hair fall. It helps restore all the lost nutrients in the hair as well as makes them strong and lustrous.

A few tips to prevent hair loss caused by Dr. Aparna Santhanam, Parachute Therapie hair expert, Marico:

Simply massage your scalp with Oil in general for a few minutes before going in for a shower. Oiling is an excellent pre conditioner and massaging with oil can stimulate blood flow and stimulate follicular activity.

You can also heat the hair oil for a minute or 2, and apply it to your scalp and hair. Leave it overnight and wash it the next morning. It helps a great deal!! You will feel much more relaxed, get good sleep and your hair fall will eventually improve.

Managing Time – You must learn to manage the limited time at your disposal. Planning the day's activities and sticking to a schedule can help regulate ones lifestyle.

Getting proper Sleep - Eat a light snack to avoid feeling hungry at night; don't eat a heavy meal late at night. Getting proper and regular sleep is essential to prevent tiredness and increase efficiency of the individual.

Eat a healthy diet Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit and less junk foods and sugars. Fad diets help people loss weight while they are on the diet but they do not stay on the diet the rest of their lives so they return to their usual diet and gain the weight back. Hence, a planned and nutritious diet can act as an effective stressfighting tool.

Prioritize Your Tasks Prioritizing the tasks on hand can help reduce the challenges in completing them..

Exercise Regularly Exercise, participate in a sport or engage in fun activity.

Exercise helps promote better health and physical fitness which causes the body to function better. Exercise helps decrease harmful effects of stress (reduces stress hormones) and releases hormones, which promote a sense of better well being.

Learn to relax Work hard but know when to take time off to be with the family, go to the beach, or read a book. This allows stress tension to go away and helps you calm the heart's pace and digest food normally, and protect your immune system.

Talk It Out Confide or speak to a close relative/friend about the issues that you are facing. Talking about your problems to a close one will enable you to share and come up with probable options to solve your problems. Talk about your problems, don't hold it in.

Pursue a hobby or something you like to do. Mark out some time for yourself every day to do an activity that really interests

you. Read a book, watch TV, go out with friends and spend time doing things you really enjoy.

Be happy. Happiness too, is a habit developed by practising.

So get out there and bust your stress with a positive approach and overcome not only your hair fall woes but watch the quality of your life improve rapidly as do your tresses.
