Hair predicts health

Your locks could be the key to a healthy heart...

Researchers in Canada have claimed that they can predict a potential heart attack from inspecting a single strand of hair.

Apparently the more stressed out you are from love life problems, financial woes or job worries, the more likely your mane is to contain anxiety hormone cortisol.

The researchers discovered through a non-invasive test that people with higher levels of cortisol hidden in their hair were more likely to have suffered from a heart attack in the past three months.

So next time you tease, curl or straighten your hair, just remember to take a deep breath and avoid stressing out those tresses.
