By the type of hair you can determine the general condition of the body. A healthy person has very rarely bad hair. But the causes of brittle hair - this is primarily internal diseases, and only then external factors. Let's take a closer look at each of these points.
Medical causes of thin and brittle hair
Worst of all, the hair condition reflects deficiency of nutrients, vitamins, macro- and microelements. If you sit on a strict diet, or eat too monotonously, you can forget about beautiful hair. Particularly often, brittleness causes deficiency of iron, silicon and selenium. This condition can be associated with anemia, or a violation of the internal organs:
- hypoxia;
- violations of the functions of assimilation of food in the stomach and intestines;
- liver disease ;
- kidney disease;
- parasites;
- hormonal disorders;
- internal infections.
As soon as the causes are found and eliminated, brittle nails and hair loss will stop bothering you. Even banal caries can badly affect the hairdress due to the deterioration of metabolism, provoked by the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth. Treat your health carefully!
