When stress levels become so high that they affect the immune system, it can have a profound effect on the body and the hair. Hair loss itself causes immense stress and then it can become a vicious cycle. Bonnie Kinnear, 50s, housewife: “Last year my life was quite stressful due to my husband’s high-profile career being constantly in the spotlight. At this time I began to develop an intense scalp which was wrongly diagnosed as psoriasis, for which I was prescribed steroids. Over the next two months my scalp became worse, and hair began to fall out, leaving hairy patches, which was devastating. Having to look good and be a support to my famous husband was stressful because wherever we went people would look at us. I had lost at least one third of my hair and, in hope, visited a high-profile Mayfair trichologist. Without any diagnosis I was ordered to buy £300 worth of products and my head was massaged by a girl who proceeded to turn my hair into what is seen as ‘bird’s-nest syndrome’. It took four hours to untangle. My GP convinced me to seek help from Andrew Bernie. I was diagnosed with a stress-triggered condition where the skin cells multiply fast, grow down the hair shaft and bind with sebaceous matter to strangle the hair. I visit Andrew regularly for treatments. I am also trying to manage my stress levels, which is easier now my hair is returning.” Question 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Stress can cause serious hair and scalp problems, but treatment and stress control can help recovery. B. Hair loss is usually caused by poor medical treatment. C. Expensive beauty products are the best way to cure stress-related hair loss. D. Bonnie’s husband was responsible for her health problems. Question 29.
