Dry brittle hair can break easily. Causes of dry hair include a lack of iron, zinc, or omega fatty acids. Also, dry hair can be caused by lice, fungus. Rarely dry hair comes from a thyroid problem (weight gain, sore leg muscles, exhaustion, thickened skin). It can also be caused by birth control pills, anti-seizure medications or steroids. Modern medicine has few answers.

Natural perspectives for dry hair come from a nutritional deficiency and can be corrected by zinc, iron (if low), or omega fatty acids. It can also be poor hormonal health. Always clean up the diet and remove tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea, and sodas.
