Why are my nails brittle and peeling? --> can that be related to my hair loss?

For several months now, my nails have become very weak, they always peel in layer and easily break. My nails also don't grow very fast, and this hasn't happened to me before =[





Also......while all of that is going on, i've been loosing a LOT of hair recently, when i wash my hair, when i brush SOO much hair falls out!!!


And lots of strands randomly fall out throughout the day and i feel them on the back of my arm (its the most annoying feeling ever!)


I try not to wash my hair too often (but it gets oily because of the heat and my body's tendency to over secrete oils in my scalp and then i have to!)


i leave it natural almost all the time (wavy)





Can these 2 be related? What can i do to stop all of this chaos?! i'm very worried!





Extra Information:


Im 16 (thats why i'm a bit paranoid) %26gt;.%26lt;


I don't take medicine for anything but i do take vitamins (multi, calcium, b-12...)


I'm not pregnant, and all that other stuff


I try to eat healthy everyday, lots of fruits and veggies





Please help!!!!Why are my nails brittle and peeling? --%26gt; can that be related to my hair loss?
yes! it is possible....





掳anyway as we know hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few.





year ago I suffered from hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.


the things that really worked for me was:





1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





5) also I used herbal treatment - TrichoZed


It is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!





It worked and still works for me!





I do not know if any pharmacies carry TrichoZed but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.trichozed.com/?id=fc7a24





It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) - a major cause of hair loss!





good luck!





not only my and my husband`s own personal experienceWhy are my nails brittle and peeling? --%26gt; can that be related to my hair loss?
Hi. You need to go to the doctor and have blood tests done. You could have low iron, or a Thyroid problem. Both of these can be detected in a simple blood test. The exact same thing happened to me a year ago. My nails started to peel off in layers, and became very thin and weak. Shortly after that, i started to lose a lot of hair ( it fell out constantly ). I got scared, and went to the doctor. She did blood work, and found that i had a Thyroid problem. Don't wait too long. Your body is trying to tell you something isn't right. I lost most of my hair from a Thyroid problem. It's not a fun thing to go through. Hopefully, that's not what is happening to you, but since you have 2 of the symptoms of a Thyroid problem, it's better to get checked to make sure. Best of luck to you :-)
