It may sound a bit over the top but hair loss is not reserved just for older gentlemen. Stress can lead to severe hair loss in individuals of all ages.
In fact, hair loss is actually a common thing for all humans. We loose on average between 50 and 100 strands of hair per day (and that’s on a good day). While hair loss is not normally something that you have to worry about, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is right up there with major causes of stress right now.
In fact, while Glasgow has been in tier 4 for quite some time, now that all of mainland Scotland has gone back into lockdown in January, it is causing more and more of us stress.
And stress means hair loss. So when you have a shower either at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day, so many of those loose hair strands are going to get washed away. The reason we bring this up is that the more hair that goes down your drain pipe, the more likely it is that it will cause a blockage.
So while we know there are a lot of things to think about right now, if you believe that you are suffering from hairloss because of stress, ensure that you use a mesh barrier over the plug for your shower or bath. In the exact same way that you use a strainer in your kitchen sink to stop big chunks of food getting blocked in the drain, you should do the exact same thing for your bathroom drain pipe to ensure it doesn’t get blocked.
Because if it does, then you may just have to give your local drainage company a call to get it fixed.
