I know I am of the coleric types who get pissed easily and I'm afraid one of the reasons my hair used to be hay-like and split-ended is stress. Am I to assume a more carefree point of view will have beneficial effects on my hair?
Hi Nikola. You have great looking hair. Even if stress does affect you hair, once your stress is gone, your hair will recover. So try to be calm and you will have your handsome mane.
Regardless
It can't hurt. Staying away from the radiator should help too. :)
Even if reducing stress caused your hair to split MORE, reducing stress would be a reward unto itself.
Stress can definitely make you shed, but it won't affect your ends. If anything, it would probably make you secrete more oil. If you're stressed enough to twist your hair, that's another story. Your hair looks great anyway.
Don't think stress effects the hair quality but it's better for your overall health to not have much stress.
Your hair looks awesome btw.
It can most definitely affect hair quality, just as a poor diet can. Speaking from my own experience, I've certainly noticed a difference between the amount of growth and shine, when comparing a month in which I felt good and relaxed, and a month in which I was either sick or had a lot of school work.
Keep a good attitude, remind yourself that there is always a positive side to every situation, and that life does indeed go on. =)

If you're stressed you may not pay enough attention to proper dietary needs and that would affect your body's balance (hair included)
Great looking hair Nikola, you don't seem too stressed in this pic.

A more carefree POV will likely improve your hair and what's underneath it. People suffer graying and fallout from stress, but the effect on your mind and overall life are even more important. We all have to go through stressful periods, but it's really bad for the long term. Stress may seem to come from every direction, but there's usually one main cause that can be dealt with or eliminated or just gotten away from. Do that ASA.
