Thinning hair, dry hair, or a scaly scalp are all signs that something is wrong with your health.
 |
If your hair is dry, brittle, and prone to breakage, it may be because you spend 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 are eating too much junk food:Without a balanced diet, your body will not have enough nutrients to nourish your hair. You should eat colorful foods (fruits and vegetables). If your hair is growing slowly, it may be because you are lacking protein, the main component of hair. Supplement protein every day through foods such as meat, chicken, eggs, fish, tofu, whole grains and nuts. |
 |
You have dental problems:People with hair loss caused by mutations in the hair protein keratin (blond hair syndrome) are at increased risk for tooth decay, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Keratin is an essential component of your hair and tooth enamel. Protein mutations also make the tooth surface softer, making it more susceptible to bacteria and decay. |
 |
You are very stressed:You naturally lose hair every day, this can be due to psychological and physical stress. |
 |
As your body responds to the hormones from birth control pills, your hair may become drier and less shiny. This is especially noticeable if you dye your hair regularly. Birth control pills can cause hair to thin, so people who experience excessive hair loss should use non-hormonal birth control. |
 |
You need to be vigilant about your eye health:According to a classic study in the journal Ophthalmology, people with blond hair and blue eyes produce less of the protective pigment melanin. This makes the eyes more susceptible to macular degeneration—the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people 50 and older. No matter what your hair color, you should always protect your eyes from the sun 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 will help prevent and limit hair loss. In cases of hypothyroidism as well as hyperthyroidism, sometimes using medication will help reduce hair loss, but at some point, this method is not effective. |
