Receding hair lines, fallen hair in the drain and on hairbrushes, and easily broken hair are some of the most common issues women experience with their crowning glory. The first panicky thought is about the loss of self-esteem due to less flattering appearance of one’s hair, but apparently, there are more reasons to worry. Thick, shiny and vibrant hair is indicative of good health, so thinning hair may mean exactly the opposite. Losing too much hair every time you shower or comb or lay your head on a pillow may mean hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition and vitamin deficiency, or overwhelming psychological stress. These are all signs of declining health and poor well-being.
The same is true for dry, sallow skin as well as weak and discolored nails. It is crucial that you pay attention to your hair loss and take it as a sign that there are something that’s not right about your health status. Prevention is ultimately better than any form of cure, so underlying conditions like the ones mentioned above must be treated before they get to a point of complications or irreversibility. There’s really no harm in seeking consultation with your doctor before you talk to a hair specialist. Or, your hair specialist can help you determine the cause of your thinning hair and can refer you to a doctor who will assess you for underlying conditions. Your hair is not called crowning glory for nothing.
A healthy mop of thick, lustrous and vibrant hair strands will imply that you also have a healthy and vibrant well-being.
