8 Signs of Iron Deficiency You Shouldn’t Ignore

Dry and damaged hair and skin

Dry and damaged skin and hair can be signs of iron deficiency. This is because when your body is iron deficient, it directs its limited oxygen to more important functions, such as organs and other bodily tissues. When skin and hair are deprived of oxygen, it can become dry and weak. More severe cases of iron deficiency have been linked to hair loss.

It is completely normal for some hair to fall out during everyday washing and brushing, but if you are losing clumps or much more than normal, it may be due to iron deficiency.
