Have brittle hair, always get split ends. i don't want to cut it anymore. i want it to grow. could this be a nutrient/vitamin/iron defiency? can my doctor order a hair test for me?

Brittle hair: I honestly feel that a skilled beautician can offer you more help than your physician could for this problem. A dermatologist can be helpful with diagnosis of any pathology and testing if you still have concerns.
