Sometimes hair problems = health problems

Traditionally, western societies look at hair for its outward beauty and not signs of what is going on internally. If you experience hair dullness, inordinate hair breakage, hair fall, and balding, check your products and methods and if all seems to be in order, check with your medical provider. This link will tell you why medical evaluation is a good idea.

The post is from Yahoo, but the information is valid.

I read that article. Its very interesting and explained a few things I suspected but didn't know for sure. Thanks for posting.

True, I have incredibly thick hair and two years ago I started having thinnning and my nails were splitting. The thinning of my hair wasn't noticable to other peopl because I have so much hair but I knew it was happenin. Months down the line I started getting very fatigued. Long story short, vitamin deficiency anemia. The doctor put me on iron pills and with a week or two, I felt brand new. My nails took 6+ months to rebound from that though.

Yes, the condition of hair, skin, and nails are def clues. Jenerett, I am glad you found out what your deficiency was. Many other cultures in other countries are definitely more advanced than we are in this regard.
