Thyroid
Over and under active thyroid can affect many systems in the body. Hair cells in particular are vulnerable.
Pregnancy

Tips From The Pros
Hair Styles
Be careful with braids, ponytails and other hair styles that pull on your hair.
Nutrition
Identify and correct any dietary deficiencies including protein, vitamins and minerals.
Chemicals
Avoid chemical processing like bleaching and chemical straightening.
Drying Hair
Limit use and try to dry hair naturally when possible. High heat causes damage to hair that can be hard to reverse.
