<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bad hair days are real. Research indicates that bad hair days affect self esteem and that you may be able to blame it on the hormones!</span><br /><br />Stressing over tress tangles? You could well be forgiven for getting into a curl over your hair scares. Recent research has played good cop-bad cop with the bad hair problem. The bad news: "bad hair days" affect individuals'' self-esteem by increasing self-doubt and intensifying social insecurities. The good news: You may now blame it on the hormones. <br /><br />Bad hair days, that supremely mortifying fashion conundrum, which can send more shivers down the spine than the ''Do-I-look-fat-in-this-outfit?'' enigma, are very real, not a figment of a flighty fashionista''s froufrou imagination, going by two studies at the Oxford Hair Foundation and Yale University. <br /><br />Gynaecologists Dr Paula Hillard and Dr Mary Stoeckle who conducted research for the Oxford Hair Foundation state, "When progesterone levels are high, it decreases the production of mucus (thickening the body fluids) and stimulates the production of sebum. This process causes the sebum to congest on the scalp and skin, resulting in hair looking dull, lifeless and unmanageable while the scalp becomes dry." They go on to explain that decreased estrogen impacts the skin by lessening sebum production, making it dry and itchy."</div> </div>
