Thinning hair, dry hair, or a scaly scalp are all signs that you may have health problems.
 |
| If your hair is dry, brittle, and prone to breakage, it could be due to spending too much time outdoors. Too much sun can dry out and damage hair, especially for those with blonde or gray hair. Additionally, if you have thin hair, your scalp is more susceptible to sunburn. When you're outside, wear a hat or use products with a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) of 30 or higher. |
 |
| You're eating too much junk food:Without a balanced diet, your body won't have enough nutrients to nourish your hair. You should eat colorful foods (fruits and vegetables). If your hair is growing slowly, it may be due to a protein deficiency, the main building block of hair. Supplement your daily protein intake through foods such as meat, chicken, eggs, fish, tofu, whole grains, and nuts. |
 |
| You have dental problems:According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, people with hair dysfunction caused by mutations in the keratin protein in their hair (blonde hair syndrome, hair loss) have a higher risk of tooth decay. Keratin is an essential component of your hair and tooth enamel. Mutations in this protein also make the tooth surface softer, more susceptible to bacterial invasion and decay. |
 |
| You are very stressed:If you are experiencing daily hair loss, this could be due to psychological and physical stress. |
 |
| As the body responds to hormones from birth control pills, hair may become drier and less shiny. This is especially noticeable if you dye your hair regularly. Birth control pills can thin hair, and those experiencing excessive hair loss should consider using non-hormonal birth control. |
 |
| You need to be vigilant about your eye health:According to a classic study in the journal Ophthalmology, people with blonde hair and blue eyes produce less protective melanin pigment. This makes the eyes more susceptible to macular degeneration – the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people 50 and older. Regardless of your hair color, you should always protect your eyes from sunlight by wearing sunglasses. |
 |
| You may have a thyroid problem:Hair loss is a common symptom in people with thyroid disease, especially Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Balancing thyroid hormone levels can help prevent and reduce hair loss. In cases of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, medication can sometimes help reduce hair loss, but at other times, this method may not be effective. |
