If you’ve been noticing grey hair and experiencing hair fall recently, it could be sign that you are taking more stress than you should. Stress can damage the pigment producing cells which cause premature greying of hair. Intake of vitamin B12 and indulging in relaxing activities can help.

Protein is important for healthy hair growth and if your hair is becoming thinner by the day, it could be due to the protein deficiency in your body. Consult your doctor and include protein-rich foods like eggs, spinach, nuts, avocado and berries in your meals.

04. You might have skin issues

Skin problems like psoriasis and seborrheic eczema can make your scalp flaky and could be the reason you are struggling with dandruff. If your scalps appear dry, red, or have white scaly patches, consult a dermal and get it treated right away.

05. You may have a hormonal imbalance

A very common cause of hair loss, which women tend to avoid, is hormonal imbalance. Shedding of hair strands and change in the appearance of hair is a result of fluctuation in hormone levels caused due to stress or any health problem. Proper medication can help treat this condition.

6.White or Yellow Flakes Could Mean You Have Dandruff

 

Yellow or white flakes in your hair, on your shoulders, and even in your eyebrows are a sign of dandruff, a chronic scalp condition. Dandruff doesn’t usually indicate a serious health problem, and it can usually be treated with over-the-counter specialty hair shampoos or a prescription shampoo.

According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most common causes of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis. Those with seborrheic dermatitis have red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. A yeast-like fungus called malassezia can also irritate the scalp. Not shampooing enough, sensitivity to hair care products, and dry skin can also cause dandruff. (Dandruff is usually worse in winter, when indoor heating can make skin drier.)
