Hair often starts to fall out, becomes thinner, nails crack, break and grow more slowly. This may not just be a cosmetic problem, but a sign that the body is lacking something.
Hair and nails are indicators of the body's internal state.
Vitamin D
Plays an important role in the health of hair and nails. It participates in the growth of hair follicles, improves blood flow, supports immunity, and helps the scalp maintain moisture balance. Another important property is its ability to aid in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for the health and strength of the nail plate.
How vitamin D affects hair
- Stimulates the formation of new hair follicles and activates their growth.
- Supports immunity and helps prevent inflammatory processes in the scalp - inflammation can slow down hair growth.
If there is not enough vitamin D, hair becomes dull, brittle and develops split ends. With a serious deficiency, hair growth may stop and hair may fall out in clumps.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid
Vitamin B12 and folic acid work in tandem, participating in the formation of red blood cells and responsible for transporting oxygen to tissues, including hair follicles and nail plates.
When vitamin B12 levels drop, the blood formation process is disrupted and anaemia develops. As a result, less oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the hair follicles.
Hair becomes weak and thin, its growth slows down, and with a severe deficiency, it begins to fall out actively.Chronic B12 deficiency can also cause dry scalp, itching, and a feeling of ‘dullness’ in the hair.
Folic acid supports cell division and new hair growth, and is also involved in the synthesis of keratin, the main building protein of hair. With a lack of folic acid, hair loses its elasticity and shine, becoming brittle and dull.
TSH
A pituitary hormone that regulates the thyroid gland, stimulating it to produce the hormones T3 and T4, which are responsible for metabolism, cell growth and tissue repair.
Both hyperthyroidism (low TSH) and hypothyroidism (high TSH) cause changes in the condition of the hair.
- In hyperthyroidism: metabolism is accelerated, hair grows faster, but at the same time more hair enters the resting phase, and hair loss increases.
- In hypothyroidism: metabolism is slowed down, hair grows more slowly, becomes thin, brittle, and loses its thickness.
Ferritin and iron
Ferritin is a protein complex that stores iron in the body and ensures it is ready for use. Iron is a key trace element involved in the synthesis of haemoglobin, which transports oxygen to cells.
How deficiency affects hair:
- When ferritin is deficient, the follicles receive less oxygen and nutrients. As a result, hair growth slows down, hair becomes thinner, weaker, and loses its natural shine and elasticity.
How deficiency affects nails:
- Iron, through its mechanism (oxygen transport and tissue nutrition), also affects the nail plates. With ferritin deficiency, nails often become brittle, thin, may become concave (koilonychia) or develop longitudinal grooves.
Calcium
A macroelement that is responsible for the structure of the nails and also contributes to hair health.
How calcium affects hair:
- A decrease in the activity of vitamin D (which helps the absorption of calcium) leads to a deterioration in the condition of the hair and nails. The hair structure becomes thinner, more brittle and prone to falling out.
How calcium affects nails:
Calcium is poorly absorbed due to low vitamin D levels, nail plates are less firmly attached to the nail bed and are prone to damage.
C-reactive protein
CRP indicates inflammation in the body, negatively affecting hair follicles and nail plates.
Cortisol
A hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that helps the body cope with stress: it regulates metabolism, immunity, and vessel function.
How cortisol affects hair:
- Prolonged stress and high cortisol levels alter the hair growth cycle: hair follicles transition from the active growth phase to the resting phase earlier than usual, resulting in a condition known as telogen alopecia, when hair falls out almost simultaneously.
DHEA sulphate
One of the steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, which serves as a precursor to sex hormones (oestrogen and testosterone).
How DHEA affects hair:
- In women, increased levels of DHEA sulphate can lead to increased hair growth on the body or face (hirsutism) and male-pattern hair loss on the head.
- Low levels can reduce hormonal support for hair follicles: hair becomes less thick and grows more slowly.
CBC
Test to assess the overall condition of the body
