Hair - Raising Issues

Having a healthy head of hair reflects more than just beauty; it's intricately linked to our mental and physical well-being. Understanding this connection offers insightful perspectives into how we perceive and manage our overall health and lifestyle.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Our hair's condition is a revealing indicator of nutritional health. Brittle, dry, or thinning hair often points to deficiencies in key nutrients like protein, essential fatty acids or iron. Moreover, hair loss can also stem from restrictive dieting, which often leads to inadequate nutrient intake. When the body is deprived of essential nutrients due to a limited diet, it prioritises vital organs over hair growth. This results in hair entering the resting phase prematurely, leading to shedding and thinning. This highlights the importance of a nutrient-rich diet and how our internal health can directly impact our physical appearance.
