Don’t Ignore These Hair Warning Signs – What Your Hair is Trying to Tell You
Your hair talks.
Maybe not in words, but in signs subtle or loud that hint at what’s going wrong inside.
At Anlon, we believe healthy hair isn’t just about what you apply externally; it’s a mirror of your overall health and lifestyle. If you’ve noticed sudden changes in your hair’s texture, behavior, or appearance, don’t brush it off (literally or figuratively).
Here are 7 hair warning signs you absolutely shouldn’t ignore and what they could mean.
1. Dry or Brittle Hair
What it looks like: Straw-like texture, split ends, dullness, breakage.
- Protein Deficiency: Hair is made of keratin (a protein), so lack of protein weakens the strands.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency: Causes dry scalp and lifeless hair.
- Overuse of Heat/Styling Tools: Damages the hair shaft.
- Harsh Shampoos or Chemicals: Strip natural oils.
- Thyroid Issues: Hypothyroidism slows oil production.
Anlon Tip: Opt for our Keratin-Infused Repair Ritual or the Intensive Moisture Lock Treatment to restore hydration and strength to overworked strands.
2. Excess Hair Fall
What you’ll see: Hair shedding in clumps, on your pillow or bathroom floor.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Affects hair follicle cycling.
- Iron Deficiency (Anemia): Common in women and leads to shedding.
- Thyroid Imbalance: Both hyper and hypothyroidism can cause hair fall.
- Postpartum Hormonal Shifts: Sudden fall after childbirth is common.
- Crash Diets or Sudden Weight Loss: Body diverts nutrients away from hair.
- Stress or Illness (Telogen Effluvium): Causes sudden shedding.
Anlon Tip: Book a Tricho-Scalp Analysis to assess underlying causes. Pair it with our Hair Strengthening Scalp Ritual for visible results.
3. Sudden Dandruff or Flaky Scalp
What it feels like: Itchy, dry, or irritated scalp with visible flakes.
- Zinc Deficiency: Leads to poor scalp health.
- Dehydration: Makes scalp dry and itchy.
- Fungal Overgrowth (Malassezia): Can trigger dandruff.
- Weather Changes (Dry or Cold)
- Improper Hair Washing: Leaving product residue.
Anlon Tip: Try our Detox Scalp Purification Facial a clarifying treatment that gently exfoliates, rebalances, and soothes the scalp.
4. Hair Thinning
What you’ll notice: Reduced volume, widening part, or scalp showing through.
- Chronic Stress: Elevates cortisol, affecting growth cycle.
- Hormonal Imbalance: PCOS, thyroid issues, menopause.
- Low Biotin or B-complex Vitamins: Weakens hair.
- Genetics: Androgenic alopecia (hereditary thinning).
- Excessive Styling or Tight Hairstyles: Causes traction alopecia.
Anlon Tip: Early care matters. Our Follicle Rejuvenation Therapy is designed to boost blood flow, awaken dormant follicles, and prevent further thinning.
5. Premature Graying
Spotting grey strands in your 20s or 30s? That’s a flag.
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Disrupts melanin production.
- Copper Deficiency: Copper helps in melanin formation.
- Oxidative Stress: Free radical damage to pigment cells.
- Genetics: Family history plays a major role.
- Smoking: Accelerates aging of hair follicles.
Anlon Tip: Try our Gloss & Tone Hair Ritual to naturally blend early greys, while improving scalp and strand health with antioxidant-rich serums.
6. Greasy or Oily Hair
Feels heavy? Looks limp or slick hours after washing?
- Overactive Sebaceous Glands: Often hormonal.
- High Glycemic Diets: Trigger excess oil production.
- Improper Washing: Not rinsing shampoo/conditioner properly.
- Stress: Can worsen oil secretion.
Anlon Tip: Our Oil Control Scalp Clarifying Treatment gently regulates sebum levels and purifies the scalp without drying it out.
7. Slow Hair Growth
You feel like your hair just… won’t grow.
- Poor Nutrition: Lack of vitamins A, C, E, iron, or zinc.
- Poor Scalp Circulation: Affects follicle stimulation.
- Build-Up on Scalp: Blocks healthy growth.
- Hormonal Disorders: Especially thyroid and insulin resistance.
Anlon Tip: Boost growth with our Micromist Hair Spa Therapy a steam-based treatment that enhances absorption of scalp serums for deeper follicle stimulation.
