Dry Hair & Scalp Problems

A lot of this problem stems from poor diet and lack of water. If you want your hair to be strong and healthy you need to eat like it. Hair is an appendage of the skin. When you break out on your skin, the first thing the doctor ask you is "What have you been eating". I ask those same questions when clients tell me about dry scalp and hair. Another issue could be vitamin deficiency, a test could be run on blood work to determine that. If clients are on any medications they need to pay close attention to the side effects. Also I would ask if there was any vitamins that could be taken with the medication to off set the dryness and possible breakage. I know from experience that blood pressure and thyroid medications dry the hair and causes it to break. The lack of water is a really big issue, you need water to naturally flush toxins out and lubricate your body. Try to drink 8 glasses a day and your hair, scalp, and body will feel much better.
