Health Clues from Your Hair -part 2
šIn addition to hair loss, the hair and scalp scalp also give clues.
šBrittle hair may be the result of something as simple as regular exposure to harsh treatment. This may include parabens or sulfate laden hair ācareā products, tho those companies who create such products certainly arenāt using ingredients that actually do care for hair!Ā Hair that is heavily treated with commercial dyes, perms, and relaxers is also prone to brittleness. Do not underestimate the destructive power of a toxicā ļø personal care product. These commercial mainstream products can be so damaging to hair, scalp, and even have an effect on us internally. Remember, skin (and scalp) is like a spongeā¦.what you put on your body is absorbed and affects the body systemically. Young Living continues to stand in the gap by providing an amazing line of shampoos, conditioners, and body care products that are safe and wonderfully beneficial to our bodies!
šChronic dehydration is another cause of brittle hair. Are you prone to split ends? 25% of hair is water, and this may be a very telling sign that you are not consuming enough water daily. Have you noticed how many clues there are that lead back to low grade dehydration? Approximately 75% of the population in the USA are chronically dehydrated! Think about how many irritating clues might vanish by simply drinking more good clean filtered water! If water isnāt your jam because it lacks the flavor you crave, get yourself the Young Living Vitality Drops. The bonus is that Lavender Lemonade and Grapefruit Bergamot also contain needed electrolytes, while the Jade Lemon Berry and Spearmint Tangerine flavors provide an addedĀ energy boost! My workouts are visibly better when Iāve added one of the energy flavors to my water while at the gym.
šOther possible reasons for brittle hair include zinc deficiency (something that will ultimately affect your immune system function), a thyroid disorder (a full thyroid lab panel can reveal this easily), or too much processed food and not enough Omega 3ās in your diet. Unless a diet is absolutely loaded with natural Omega 3ās, Iād highly encourage adding OmegaGize3 or MindWise to your daily routine.Ā
šCertain medications may cause hair to become brittle, altered in texture or color, or change in receiving a color.Ā Antidepressants, birth control pills, chemotherapy meds, anesthesia, statins, singulair, biologics, anxiety meds, and certain blood pressure meds are among those which may be considered likely suspects.
āGray hair is a crown of glory: it is gained by living a godly life.ā
~ Proverbs 16:31
šGray hair is usually well earned, but sometimes, medications, life events, and deficiencies can cause it to happen too early. Prematurely gray hair may happen with a B12 deficiency, an extremely stressful life event, or occasionally, certain medications.Ā
šThe scalp also holds clues! Dandruff is often due to a gut imbalance, an unbalanced diet (where are your Omega 3ās?), or a sensitivity to a food ( commercial dairy is often the perpetrator).
There are really 4 main types of dandruff:
šDry skin dandruff: This may happen from washing hair too frequently, living in a very dry atmosphere,Ā or chronic low grade dehydration. It is characterized by small white flakes. YL Copaiba Vanilla Shampoo is formulated for dry and damaged hair. Whatās good for the hair is also good for the scalp!Ā
šOily skin dandruff: These flakes tend to be yellowish and larger in nature. This type of dandruff requires more frequent washing.Ā A diet high in processed foods is frequently the culprit. YL Lavender Mint Shampoo is formulated to lift away product residue and pollutants and excess scalp oils.Ā Ā
šYeasty dandruff: Candida infections can and do commonly appear on the scalp. Candida is opportunistic and is prone to setting up camp when the conditions are right. A suppressed immune system, an unhealthy diet, chronic stress, certain medications, and harsh chemicals in hair care products all may contribute to ideal conditions for candida to become a problem. Candida generally has larger flaky scales than dry skin dandruff, and the areas involved may appear somewhat moist.
šEczema and Psoriasis may also appear on the scalp appearing as patchy areas which may appear thicker than the normal skin and the flakes are generally quite large. Both eczema and psoriasis are immune system and gut health/diet related. Remember, the skin is a reflection of the health of the gut!
Overall, the most important thing you can do for the health of your hair and scalp is exactly what youād do for the rest of your bodyā¦. A well balanced healthy diet, avoiding toxins however you can, and managing stress and sleep.Ā
If you have been blessed with baldness, hereās some love for you!Ā
