It is important to eat healthy foods and ensure that your body is getting the vitamins and minerals that it needs. Often times the body will show poor health in the hair follicles and finger nails before and actual illness is detected. While it is important to get enough of the right nutrients, it is just as important not to get too much of any one type of vitamin. For example, too much of vitamins A and E, have been linked to hair loss.

Take care

Funny you should mention nails, I've had brittle splitting nails for a few years, too. I thought it was because I've been using nail polish. My toe nails are fine, it's just my fingernails. I take Biotin, and don't think I take too much A or E. I take a daily vitamin, but no extra A or E.

Here's one site with some info on silica and iodine deficiency causing hair loss, and lists foods which can help replace helpful nutrients.

Thanks for the link, I made a note of a few foods to eat more of. I already take Biotin, but I didn't know about the other 2.
