Question:
what am I lacking?
My hair looks awful. Its dry and fly away and my fingernails are breaking down into the nail bed. What am I lacking? — Judy S. (posted on October 5, 2002)

From what I've learned on this website I'd guess it looks like a lack of
Vitamin E and/or insufficient protein. You can try taking supplemental
vitamin E in the dry form (we have trouble with the the oil based soft
gels) and increasing your protein. My surgeon also recommended the use of
flaxseed oil (added to shakes) as he feels the problem is also partly due
to the lack of fats in our diet.
