"We&amp;#39;ve all got stress, but have you ever had so much of it that your hair began to fall out? Tyra Banks recently opened up about how stress affected her mane...\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: Getty Images for ATITyra Banks confessed to Wall Street Journal recently: &amp;quot;I got a little alopecia from the stress,&amp;quot; she said. And by stress, she&amp;#39;s referring to writing her new young-adult book, Modelland, while juggling all her other business ventures.\nI love Tyra for admitting this, because it&amp;#39;s actually more common than we think, say experts. Stress-induced hair loss is actually called &amp;quot;telogen effluvium,&amp;quot; say dermatologists. &amp;quot;When the body undergoes a stressor, the hair follicle is affected and a new equilibrium is set for the hair cycle,&amp;quot; a dermatologist who spoke to MSNBC said. But, stress-shedding is usually only temporary. Whew. &amp;quot;When the body recovers from stress, hair will get back up to its normal ... ratio of growth over time.&amp;quot;\nBy the way, this year I had a baby, published my first novel, and am about to publish my second, so, yeah, I can understand the book stress Tyra&amp;#39;s talking about! And, I have been noticing more hair on the shower floor these days! Ugh.\nHas this ever happened to you?\nP.S. Tyra to the world: &amp;quot;kiss my fit, and still fat, ass!&amp;quot; And, did this &amp;quot;America&amp;#39;s Next Top Model&amp;quot; episode cross the line?\nMore Ways to Get Glamour:\n*Chat with celebs, VIP fashion stars, beauty pros and more on our Facebook page\nDownload Glamour Magazine for your iPad--print subscribers, it&amp;#39;s now part of your subscription plan!\nEnter the latest *Glamour sweepstakes! *\nFollow us on Twitter*\nPhoto: Getty"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
