Traya Founder Explains How Stress and Bad Sleep Affect Hair
A hair health company called Traya asked many men in India questions about their hair and their lives.
They got answers from about five hundred thousand men.
The company found that more than half of these men feel stressed.
About three out of ten men also said they have trouble sleeping.
Stress can change how the body works and can affect how hair grows and falls out.
Sleep is the time when the body repairs itself.
When men do not sleep well, it can affect their energy, mood, skin and hair.
The company found the highest stress and sleep problems in southern India, especially in cities like Chennai and Hyderabad.
Traya says that sleep and stress are part of the hair story, not just the products people put on their hair.
They want men to think about their lifestyle when they worry about their hair.
Traya analyzed close to five lakh hair test responses from men across India.
More than half of Indian men report stress, while 29.4% report sleep problems.
Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana top the state stress rankings.
In Chennai and Hyderabad, roughly two out of three men report stress.
Cities with the worst sleep — Chennai, Coimbatore, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad — are the same cities where stress runs highest.
