Certain details that we notice on our body must sometimes alarm us. But this is also the case with our hair! Indeed, if you notice this change, it may be a sign that your cholesterol level is too high.
If cholesterol is essential for good health, it is important that its level is not too high. Indeed, bad cholesterol (LDL) can accumulate and cause many health problems. It seems that cholesterol has effects on hair. So, if you notice any changes in your hair, you should consider checking your cholesterol levels.
It is a British expert who highlighted this consequence of too high cholesterol levels on the hair, reports Grazia. Indeed, Zayn Majeed, surgeon at the Harley Street Hair Clinic, revealed one of the consequences of bad cholesterol on the hair cycle.
The impact of cholesterol on hair
According to the expert, one of the consequences of too high cholesterol levels would be hair loss. This might even lead to the appearance of alopecia (a disease characterized by accelerated hair loss).
“One study found that women and men with androgenic alopecia had higher levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL,” explains the doctor. “Another study showed that women with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. And it’s similar in men, as one study showed that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol was significantly higher in men with androgenic alopecia. »
So, if you notice abnormal hair loss, you should consult your doctor and check your cholesterol levels.
