Hair Loss and Health
The condition of hair is usually a very good indication of the general state of your health. Some doctors can tell a great deal about someone just by a quick look at the hair. Hair analysis has for a long time been big business in America where you can send a sample of hair to a laboratory to be examined for the lack of minerals and protein.
You will then be given a detailed report telling you which vitamins you are deficient in. This service of course makes the companies vast amounts of money, but in reality your doctor could tell you the same thing by a quick examination. Now there are a few clinics in this country which have started the same service. It costs around seventy pounds to have the hair analysed to ascertain how the body is operating internally, the vitamin and mineral levels, bowel toxicity and general dietary efficiency.
How much this will tell you about stopping your hair loss is open to question, and is probably not worth the paper it is written on.
Hair analysis is very open to debate as often a similar sample of hair can get totally different results depending on who is carrying out the tests. These clinics then usually want to sell you the vitamins or minerals that you are apparently deficient off.
Be very wary of the usefulness of this type of analysis as it is only going to cost you money and will not really tell you anything.
