Causes of Weak Hair

The reasons for the weakening of the hair can be different. First of all, hair can be thin by nature, due to a genetic predisposition. But, most often, hair loses volume and strength due to a number of external factors:

• Thermal impact. All electrical styling devices (hair dryer, iron, curling iron, etc.) adversely affect the structure of the hair, making it more brittle, sensitive and dry.
• Exposure to ultraviolet rays. During the summer period, we subject our hair to a great test of the sun (on the beach). Ultraviolet light dries hair very much, so you need to wear hats. It is contraindicated to be in a solarium without a special cap.

• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. If you notice drastic changes in appearance, it is better to have an examination by a doctor.

To make up for the lack of vitamins, you need to eat more fruits, vegetables, and also reduce the intake of fatty, spicy and salty foods. It is necessary to monitor the water balance in the body, it is recommended to drink 1.5-2 liters of water per day.
• Bad habits. Tobacco, alcohol, drugs have a destructive effect on the whole organism and, in particular, on the hair.
