Why do some people experience hair loss, premature graying, dryness, brittleness, and split ends? Multiple factors can affect hair health, such as irregular daily routines, stress, emotional instability, an imbalanced diet, and hair dyeing.

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, hair is closely related to the kidneys. For example, TCM dictates that “the kidney stores the essence, and the luster of the kidney shows in the hair.” In TCM, “essence” refers to the combination of inherited and acquired components of vital energy, which exists in both men and women.
