Apart From The Eyes, These 5 Hair Conditions Can Also Determine The Health Of The Body

JAKARTA - For women, hair is a crown that needs special treatment. Various hair treatments such as washing your hair, creambath, and masks are done regularly to get your dream hair.

Unfortunately, we often pay attention to the beauty of our hair. In fact, there are so many things related to health that can be seen from the condition of the hair. According to Gideon Koren, a researcher from the University of Western Ontario, the condition of the hair can indicate the level of stress, the cholesterol content in the body, and the possibility of serious illness that befell the owner! Let's start paying attention to the health of your body from the following hair conditions:

Excessive hair loss

If you lose 100-150 hairs per day, that's normal! But you can worry if the amount of hair loss suddenly increases dramatically when you are drying or combing your hair.

There are many causes of this loss, and stress is the main cause that can disrupt hair metabolism. Apart from stress, hormonal changes during menstruation and during pregnancy also cause hair loss, you know.

The solution to reduce hair loss is to consume more vitamin D which is useful for strengthening hair roots. In addition, eating foods rich in iron such as chicken, eggs, and nuts can also reduce hair loss.

Dandruff of the scalp

Of course, no one wants dandruff hair! But if you have dandruff hair, don't worry just yet. White dandruff that is smooth and odorless can be treated with anti-dandruff shampoo so that the hair remains clean and dandruff does not come again.

However, when dandruff has turned yellow, oily, and smells bad, it may be a sign of psoriasis. The cause is a fungus that attacks the skin when the body's condition is declining. In addition, this type of dandruff also often appears during changes in the weather, especially in the transition season.

The solution is, immediately consult a dermatologist if the anti-dandruff shampoo is not working on your head. If dandruff is caused by fungi or bacteria, it requires treatment and certain drugs.

Hair is dry and breaks easily

Shocked to see a haircut stuck to the pillow when you wake up in the morning? Broken hair is different from hair loss in that the broken hair does not originate at the hair root.

Dry hair and split ends are also usually signs of the condition of the hair. Things like this indicate high blood pressure in a person. When the blood pressure in the body is high, the calcium level will drop, causing hair to become dry and break easily.

The solution you can do is use a special hair oil that restores moisture to the hair. Meanwhile, from within, try to increase the consumption of foods rich in omega 3 such as fish, fish oil and nuts.

Hair loss and thinning in certain areas of the scalp

Roots of hair that naturally fall off in some parts of the scalp are called 'pitak'. These areas of hair loss usually occur near the forehead and part of the hair.

The most common cause is diabetes which if left untreated can spread to other scalp and cause baldness. In extreme cases, the hair loss also spreads to the eyebrows and lashes. Isn't that awful?

If you experience this, you are likely to suffer from autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and thyroid gland pain.

The solution is to consult with an expert doctor to find out the type of disease suffered. After that, take steps to treat internal diseases to prevent further damage to the hair.

Gray hair

Gray hair is very annoying if you suffer at a young age. The reason is, the condition of such hair is commonly found in older people. Some experts claim that the gray hair suffered by young people is due to stress, trauma, and fear.

Stress, trauma, and fear are also the causes of gray hair because the shock that is produced causes the hair to enter the "resting phase" so that when it "wakes up", the growing hair turns white. Not only stress and trauma, the cause of gray hair can also be due to genetic reasons.

The solution, if stress is the main cause, try to take the time to calm your mind and body through recreational activities, meditation, or yoga.
