Why is my hair so yellow?

There are many reasons for yellowing hair. Oriental women generally hope to have long black hair. If the hair is relatively yellow, it may be caused by the lack of certain trace elements in the hair. For example, lack of trace elements such as zinc, copper and iron often leads to deterioration of hair quality and causes yellowing symptoms. At this time, you must take in some trace elements in time to improve the condition.

Why is my hair so yellow?

Generally, yellowing hair is a sign of malnutrition. When the body lacks certain nutrients, the hair is likely to become dry and yellow.

1. Zinc deficiency

Zinc is an essential trace element for the human body. It is an indispensable substance in important physiological processes such as human growth and development, reproduction, inheritance, immunity, and endocrine system, and plays a wide range of roles in body metabolism.

When the human body lacks zinc, the appetite will decrease, infections will recur, growth will be slow, and sexual development will be delayed, which is an important reason for the yellowing of the skin. If you are always picky about food and do not get enough nutrition, your hair will naturally become dry and yellow. Foods rich in zinc include: oysters, lean meat, pork liver, fish, egg yolks, etc.

2. Copper deficiency

When hair produces melanin, if it lacks copper-containing "tyrosinase", the activity of the enzyme will be reduced, causing the hair to wither and turn yellow. Therefore, copper deficiency in the body can also cause hair to turn yellow. Foods rich in copper: bran, sesame paste, spinach, rapeseed, cabbage, celery, lentils, potatoes, etc.

3. Iron deficiency

Due to the single nutritional diet and the usual vegetarianism without any meat, the iron intake is seriously insufficient. Over time, it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia, which in turn affects the body's blood supply and causes symptoms such as dizziness, pale face, dull and withered hair, etc. Foods rich in iron: animal liver, animal blood, egg yolk, etc.
