Hair that is matted, extra oily, extra dry, frizzy or static isn’t just inconvenient and unsightly. “Bad” hair might be telling you something about your health. Keep in mind that your hair attaches to your scalp, which is a part of your body. If hormonal changes happen in your body, if you make a change to your diet, or if you are under a lot of stress your hair will show it. Your body goes through a series of changes and those changes can affect what goes on in those tiny things we call hair follicles. The follicle is a living thing, and it’s just as sensitive as any other part of you. So before you just treat the symptom (dryness, frizz, etc.) ask yourself what your hair is telling you about your health.

Hair that breaks easily
While black women naturally struggle with dry, brittle hair that breaks easily, if you notice a significant increase in these symptoms, this could be a sign of Cushing’s syndrome.
