Extremely dry brittle hair and nails?

[Anonymous]

My hair is breaking... like severely breaking and dry, and today when I was playing my guitar my nails started to crack and break too!

I take multivitamins, I'm a health nut when it comes to food, I haven't changed anything in my exercise routine... So why is this happening?

There can be interactions between vitamins and various types of food and drink. I'm afraid I can't remember any of them so this will be less than helpful but it's stuff like coffee reduces one thing getting absorbed and so on - I recommend looking it up.

It could be so many things. You really have to talk to your doctor about it to know for sure.

you need more protein in your diet...

Does protein help in hairfall?

[MrAssHat]

@YourFutureEx yes.. a lot actually

You might need to add oil to your hair. If you don't have enough oil production coming from your scalp your hair can become dry and break. As for your nails I would recommend a cuticle serum.

Do a blood test to see if it's iron deficiency, and check your thyroid. Also, it can be anxiety.
