5+ Signs Your Hair is Warning You About Your Health

 

We all love us some beautiful lustrous hair any day. Regardless of whether our mane is kinky or straightened, healthy hair is quite easy to spot. For some however, good genes might keep the illusion of healthy locks to the untrained eye. But how many people see hair and can immediately link it to the internal health of the individual? What has your crown got to do with health you might wonder, the answer is; ‘a whole lot’.

As much as the visible locks are considered dead material, it still retains or exhibits certain properties directly linked to health. Hair is grown from keratin, a protein, and is developed from the follicles. It grows on about 80% of the mammalian body. The only part of the hair that is actively changing is the part beneath the skin; the follicle. This is considered the only living part of hair. But the changes in the color, texture and even the follicles are diagnostic of the overall health of the body. Here are a few signs of ill health as exhibited by the mane.

What’s Your Hair Saying?

  1. Dull and Lifeless Hair

    Dry frizzy hair? Could be a problem from the insides.

    Dull locks are often seem as neglected, which might be true. But on the off chance, some people do take good care of their crown and still have lackluster and lifeless strands. The hair follicles that produce our hair get the materials from the body. Great hair, just like great skin starts from within. The quality of the hair strands depends on the nutrition gotten from the body. When your hair lacks that shine, it depicts a shortage of certain minerals and micro-nutrients. The nutrients include sulfur, selenium and phosphorus. The shortage of these nutrients also cause damage to gums and teeth.
