Common Causes of Hair Loss

Poor Diet

Just like any parts of the body, your hair needs essential nutrients and vitamins to grow and remain healthy. Thus, having a poor diet might damage the scalp and lead to hair loss. The same can happen when you have a low level of iron or experience unexpected weight loss. All of these conditions might result in temporary patchy hair shedding. For this reason, make sure to adopt a well-balanced and healthy diet with a lot of biotins, zinc, iron, and protein. Legumes such as lentils and kidney beans can be great options to start. [3]
