Re: Why is my hair so dry and brittle?

Hi Lise,

I don't know what Shelly will say, whatever it is, I am sure it is right. I also have had that happen, my hair would be shiney and soft and then get dry and dull. It seems to happen when my system gets down, adrenal/thyroid are tied into each other and when my system goes off, that's one thing I will notice.

The liver plays a huge role in the thyroid, it converts T4 which is the inactive form of the thyroid to T3, the active form. If the liver is sluggish, it doesn't convert as well.

Digestion, adrenals, thyroid, liver, EFA, for me, all play a role.

As for conditioners, anything that has perfume in it or petroleum based products can be a problem for skin. Look for ones that don't have any synthetic fragrances.

Hope this helps some and Shelly will add a lot to this I'm sure :)
