Hair, skin, and nails are the bodies outward appendages. They are non-essential for health, so the body will always choose a body emergency related to function, over the hair, skin, and nails.
It is for this reason that hair, skin, and nails are the first outward signs that something is wrong within. In this case. It was the scalp skin. The scalp skin had become dry, scaly, and annoyingly itchy.
Hair, skin, nails – changes mean something is wrong within
Some people will genetically have oily scalp or flaky scalp, inherited scalp psoriasis and the like. But in this case, all these scalp symptoms were new. The scalp itch was so distracting that she confided in a work college about the problem who then recommended a Trichologist.
Trichologist – hair and scalp specialist
A Trichologist is a hair and scalp specialist. Absolique Hair Health Clinic Trichologist uses microscopic diagnosis to look at the hair and scalp symptoms. This Trichology microscopic diagnosis combined with consultation and reading of blood tests, helps get to the underlying causes.
Hair and scalp specialist – blood tests
Absolique Trichologist has trained to read blood tests to pick up deficiency, low levels and aim for sufficiency which is preventative health care. In this case everything was low. We had low iron, low ferritin, the storage of iron, low B12 and history of not holding onto B12, low vitamin D and signs of no Essential fatty acids, EFA’s.
All of this was contributing to the scalp concerns and represent the whole nutritional balance was out of order. One side effect here was the hair. The microscope uncovered the hair was no longer growing to it genetic potential.
Diffuse hair thinning
With all these nutritional lows, the hair had gradually been thinning, this is called diffuse hair thinning because it effects the hair diffusely over the entire head. It is gradual which is why it had not been picked up. If your hair has changed, it is a sign something is not right in the body. Don’t ignore the signs, get some blood tests, and come see Absolique Trichologist. We can help in person at our Brisbane clinic or online anywhere in the world.

In this case we achieved scalp relief in 2 weeks and normal hair growth by 4 months. Hair shine returned along with hair volume and the hair breakage had stopped, and the scalp itch had not returned.
