4 Ways Anemia Affects Your Hair
You know how I often talk about the connection between our health and our hair? Well, anemia is one of those things that can sneak up on us and cause some hair-raising issues.
So what IS anemia?
In simple terms, it's when your body is low on red blood cells, which are like the super carriers of oxygen to all parts of your body. You might be wondering, "How does that affect my hair?" Here's some insight for you:
Slow Down on the Hair Growth Express - Anemia can put a little speed bump on your hair's growth journey. Without enough oxygen reaching your hair follicles, they might take a little longer to grow hair.
Shedding Struggles - We all shed some hair naturally, but anemia can sometimes crank up the shedding game. You might notice more hair in your brush or on your pillow than usual. Don't fret though, we'll get through this.
If you suspect anemia might be in the picture, it's time to chat with a healthcare professional. They can run some tests and help you figure out what's going on.
