Genetics & Diet
10. Genetics
Thinning hair and premature hair loss can sometimes be a part of your genetic makeup. If you have family members who also suffer from hair loss, premature balding or thinning hair then it could be a matter of the genes. This is more commonly referred to as female pattern baldness.
Consult with your dermatologist to discuss a treatment plan but you should know that for mild cases products like minoxidil hair loss treatments like Rogaine may be prescribed for severe cases then hair transplants may be the best way forward.
11. Poor Diet Low In Protein And Other Minerals
A poor diet can also lead to hair loss. Hair skin and nails will usually be the first to suffer from a bad diet. Eating foods high in fat and sugars and not drinking enough water can throw your body into a whirlwind that eventually lead to breakage.
12. Protein Deficiency
When the body is deficient in protein it can lead to thinning hair, excessive breakage and hair loss. As hair is mostly made of protein, eating foods that are rich in ample protein is essential to growing stronger hair.
Protein doesn’t necessarily have to come from an animal source. There are many plant sources that can give you a boost in protein. Plant protein from grains, legumes and greens are more beneficial as they contain also antioxidants and phytchemicals that lead to better overall health.
