Deterioration of hair condition may be a consequence of protein and vitamin deficiency.
It could also be due to hormonal changes.
Russian nutritionist Irina Selivanova spoke about this.
The expert named the main causes of hair loss in a conversation with RIA Novosti .
What makes hair worse
As Selivanova explained, hair health is largely related to nutrition.
Thus, deterioration of hair condition may be a sign of deficiency of protein, omega-3 PUFAs, vitamins A, C, E and group B.
Minerals such as zinc, iron and silicon are also important for healthy hair.
Secondly, hair condition often worsens due to hormonal changes.
They can be a consequence of pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disease.
Hair loss can also be caused by high levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
If you have problems with hair loss and dry skin, it is worth assessing the level of thyroid hormones, the specialist advised.
