The condition of your hair can reveal about your state of inner health and your body functioning. Your hair and your health are interconnected as your hair’s microcirculations are highly dependent on your hormones. Your hair can tell a person whether you are nutritionally equipped or running low on the necessary supplements.

Here we list a few signs that your hair gives you which you simply shouldn’t ignore and we also tell you how to take control.

  • HAIR FALL

Hair falls clear cut means you have iron deficiency. Iron stores are hugely important for hair strength. If you lose around 50—100 hair strands on a daily basis, it is not a case to worry as that is normal. But if you seem to exceed these numbers then it is sure shot an alarming sign for you.  Though iron deficiency is the main cause of hair fall, stress, a disease, fatigue or heredity can also play factors.

How to take control?
  • Eat dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and include dry fruits such as raisins and apricots in your diet.
  • Indulge in meditation as it helps relieve stress
  • Protein deficits could also be a reason sometimes, so eat meat, fish, cheese, tofu, beans, lentils, yoghurt, eggs, nuts and seeds.

 

  • HAIR THINNING

Today we have information bombardment, all thanks to the internet. But we often fail to recognize which information is reliable and genuine and therefore, end up trying all that is available online. Hair thinning is also caused by similar mistakes. Trying to many hair treatments, damaging hair habits, PCOS and nutritional deficiencies are the main reasons behind hair thinning.

 

How to take control?
  • Regular protein treatment is essential to enjoy stronger and thicker hair
  • Mix olive oil with some honey and apply the mixture on your hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes and then wash your hair. Do this twice a week.
  • Eat Vitamin E rich foods such as spinach, almonds, roasted sunflower seeds, avocados and shrimps.

Itchy scalp is also called dandruff.  An overgrowth of yeast causes the itching and flaking linked with these conditions. Stress, weakness and allergy to hair care products are also said to be the common causes of an itchy scalp.

How to take control?
  • Apply fresh lemon juice thoroughly on the scalp. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes and then shampoo your hair. Lemon juice will help treat an itchy and dry scalp because of its antiseptic properties
  • Apple cider vinegar has powerful anti-inflammation properties that help kill the yeast and virus that can cause itchy scalp.
  • Use coconut oil and aloevera as it helps mitigate excessive dryness and itching by moisturizing the scalp.
