Hair is a special type of tissue produced by the human body, which is not an organ, so it does not contain blood and nerves, and is mainly responsible for protecting people's scalps. From bottom to top, hair can be divided into four parts: hair papillae, hair follicles, hair roots and hair shafts, and the main physiological roles are hair papillae, hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
However, most people's focus on hair quality is on the hair shaft, which is where the hair strands are located. The color, length, and density of hair are closely related to the stability of metabolic functions in the body, especially the liver, which has a greater impact on hair quality. Therefore, when there are a series of abnormal manifestations in the hair, it often means that the liver function is not very sound, and these 4 conditions should be careful.
1.Yellowing of hair
Hair color is mostly related to innate genes and the proportion of minerals in the body, most Chinese are born with black hair, and black thick hair is a symbol of good hair quality. However, if the hair suddenly becomes yellow and dry in a short period of time, you need to be alert to whether it is related to liver and blood deficiency.
In the traditional Chinese medicine system, the liver is the body's large blood bank, which can play a role in nourishing qi and blood, and nourishing the skin and hair. According to modern medical research, the liver is the main executor of hematopoietic function in human infancy and early childhood, and after adulthood, the liver can still assist in the stability of blood function.
Therefore, if the liver is not good, the blood supply and material delivery in the body will be sluggish, resulting in a lack of copper and yellowish hair.
2.Hair thinning
The number of hairs in a normal healthy adult is around 100,000, and the limit length usually does not exceed 200cm. There are many factors that contribute to hair thinning and loss, such as congenital genetics, excessive stress, and liver loss.
The liver is the main hair germinator, and the healthy liver function can ensure the physiological activity of the dermis layer and hair follicle cells on the top of the head, so as to produce enough protein structure to build hair tissue. If the liver area is damaged, the brain sac cells and pigment cells will not be able to get enough energy, and the hair will become thinner.
If you have hair problems, you may want to try to nourish your liver, which may help you delay hair loss.
3.Dry hair
Healthy hair should be soft, shiny, and strong, but if the liver is damaged and nutrients are insufficient, the hair may appear dry, split ends, and easily break.
Especially for those middle-aged friends who are under great work pressure, if you do not pay attention to the maintenance and nutrition supply of the liver, the deterioration of hair quality is inevitable, please keep paying attention.
4.Sideburns are gray
The formation of gray hair is a relatively common physiological phenomenon, which is mostly related to the aging of people and the apoptosis of pigment cells. However, if you are young and strong, the hair on your temples has turned white, but you should be careful about the health of your liver and gallbladder.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the sideburns are close to the temples and are the most vulnerable center of the skull, so the demand for blood qi will be greater. If there is an abnormality in the liver and gallbladder, the sideburns will also be affected first, showing a whitening trend.
Therefore, if you are still in the prime of life but suddenly have gray hair, you need to check your liver health in time to prevent accidents.
