weakening of the hair
"This anomaly causes weakening of the hair..." www.therapyofhair.co.uk/hajhagyma.html
"In alopecia areata, this process causes damage to the hair follicles, which then causes a progressive weakening of the hair shaft resulting in fractures" www.thymuskinuk.co.uk/types-of-alopecia.php
It is the hair shaft which is weakened. Flu attacks in more ways than one!

weak or brittle hair
It says pseudo flu symptoms so hair loss may be included as it is a reaction.

: It's definitly "brittle" - a search for [flu symptoms"brittle hair"] yielded 1,200 examples. "Weak" is OK, too, but not as common.

are many cosmetic side effects that may occur while on antiviral therapy. In general, women appear to be more concerned than men about these potential side effects. These issues will now be discussed.
Hair Loss
Interferon can cause hair thinning, hair loss, hair breakage, and can change the texture of hair. However, some women are under the impression that interferon therapy will cause them to lose all their hair. (Well, that’s what Pamela Anderson stated as one of her main reasons for not starting therapy!). This is a total misconception. In fact, hair loss while on interferon therapy is infrequent. If it occurs at all, the amount of hair lost is often minimal and usually unnoticeable to others. Women on interferon do not experience hair loss in the way that a cancer patient on chemotherapy does. Hair loss from interferon appears to be most frequent in Caucasians with black hair, and in Orientals. It typically occurs around the third or fourth month of therapy. Hair loss may continue for up to three months after treatment is discontinued. Hair loss is more common among women then it is among men (as well as less socially acceptable).
