When it's time to make an appointment with the doctor — not change shampoo or buy balm.
Sometimes weak, falling out or dull hair is the result of improper care. But in some cases, hair problems are a dangerous sign, having noticed which, it is important to make an appointment not with a hairdresser, but with a doctor. We’ll tell you about what diseases our hair can preventHair is not teeth, is that the old adage? A study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation refutes it: the lack of keratin, which makes hair thin and unruly, is also bad for teeth. Keratin is an important building material necessary for the health and strength of hair and teeth. And if your hair has become less strong, most likely your teeth also need support. So make an appointment with the dentist!
Unhealthy Diet
Has your hair become dull and thin? It may very well be that you should pay close attention to your daily diet: brittle hair and loss of luster are a sign of a lack of nutrients that can affect the health of the heart and other important organs. Add more fruits and vegetables to your daily diet, and reduce processed foods.
Depression
Long-term stress and anxiety can trigger depression—and also thin your hair and cause it to fall out. Normally, we lose up to 80 hairs daily, but if you notice that the loss has become more intense, you may need to consult a doctor and pick up anti-stress therapy.
Hormone imbalance
Hormonal contraceptives can make your hair less shiny, thin, dry and brittle — and if you notice something like this, contact your gynecologist and ask for other means for you.
Lack of melanin
If you have blond hair, you definitely need to protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation: according to a study published in Ophthalmology, people with blue eyes and blond hair produce less of the protective pigment melanin. As a result, blondes and blondes are more prone to age-related macular degeneration, which is the main cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50 years of age. Be sure to protect your eyes from the bright sun!
Thyroid Disease
Sudden thinning of hair can be a sign of hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. In addition, weakening and thinning hair can be a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome. Be sure to contact an endocrinologist!
