How do the endocrine glands affect hair?
Hormones are liquid secretions of the endocrine glands which very much influence our actions and feelings. The glands are small bodies situated all around the body. The Thyroid Gland, Parathyroid Glands, Adrenals, etc, are all endocrine glands. They produce hormones into the blood circulation that circulates throughout the body and play a major role in regulating how we function. An over or under-production of a particular hormone will give rise to an imbalance within the body. Often the signs and symptoms of an imbalance are obvious- such as lack of body growth, excessive fatigue, and great thirst.However, a slight imbalance might only be reflected in the hair-its growth, loss of texture,loss,- and, if caught in this early stage, might save a lot of problems later on.
