Understanding Androgenetic Alopecia

[woodnor]

Hey Swooping, this is a great post. I rarely post on this forum, just lurk from time to time, but I think you know your stuff so I guess I can ask you this. I think you mentioned something about it in your post but I didn't quite get it though.

Question: I've always heard that stress can cause and accelerate hairloss. I've seen some people say it hasn't been proven, but what I wanna know is if it can cause AGA and then if it can accelerate it, or does it only cause something like telogen effluvium (which I think is reversible/temporary)?

Whenever I see stuff on the internet about stress causing hairloss it's usually articles from stupid magazines that have no scientific facts to back up their claims. Thanks so much for this post!
