Hair loss?
I'm a vegan and I've been experiencing some hair loss which I think may have something to do with my diet. Does anyone know if I may be missing something that is linked with hair loss? thanks.
Supplement your diet with biotin capsules. That would help and you can take a lot of it without getting sick or overdosing. I've known people who have had success in reversing thinning hair with biotin supplementation.
Also, if you aren't doing so already, start taking a green powder supplement daily. VerdiSyn is hard to beat for this. Perfect Food by Garden of Life is another good green powder. A tablespoon of a green powder a day in water or juice (preferably the former, without sugar) will ensure that you are getting all the B-Vitamins that you need in your diet, as well as some essential enzymes and minerals as well.
By the way, you are right to avoid meat as much as possible and to only eat organic meat once in a while (if at all). The antibiotics, hormones, and other additives injected in regular meat plays havoc on the body, and makes one fat from the hormones, among other things. Not to mention the fact that meat is also hard to break down and often goes undigested for long periods of time, especially among big meat eaters. Pork, pork sausage, and ham should especially be avoided completely, as these are very hard to digest - not even taking into account all the other problems, like the nitrates and nitrites added.
protein and iron. You should be taking a good multi vitamin too if you're not already. ^__^
a traditional belief in my hometown is that 'don't eat too much salty food' to prevent hair losses
the human body was not meant to eat just veggies
Have your doctor do a simple CBC and that might give you some clues. Also---have him check your testosterone level. If it is elevated in women, it can cause hair loss....
same here before...hair loss but i figured eggyolks do the trick...and now...normal falling hairs only for me
Human beings are meant to be omnivorous, not vegan. People who are vegan are depriving themselves of so many necessary nutrients that can only be found (in their complete form) in animal products that it is really difficult to tell which is causing your problem.
get a lot of iron in ur diet, the best method is through supplements(multivit tablets). If you suffer from dandruff as well, try a 2% ketoconazole medicated shampoo and maybe take an antifungal tablet once a week(get it prescribed by a doctor). you could also try elocon(it's a very safe steroidal lotion).
If you are a woman experiencing hair loss, and you think it might have something to with your diet, why don't you consider changing your diet? That might be a clue that it isn't so great. If I ate ALL meat, that would be extremely bad too. B-A-L-A-N-C-E
tak more iron i guess
Hi there - Maybe you are not eating enough or not absorbing vitamin B.
My doctor put me on metformin (glucophage) awhile back and my hair began coming out between my fingers in the shower.
I began taking a 600 mcg dose of biotin (200% of RDA - one of the lowest doses on the health food store's shelf) - and my shedding stopped within a week.
Biotin is vitamin b-7 (aka vitamin h or coenzmye R). I've not read about any side effects from supplementation of biotin - and any excess is excreted.
HUGE supplements are available. I went with a 'lower' dose because I don't want my filtering organs to work any harder than necessary in removing the excess. I'm going to need them later. :)
I've also read that IRON can be a big issue with hair loss - it's easy to get too much or a really upset stomach on it if you take iron supplements - so be wary, I'd shoot for iron-rich foods rather than the pills.
I took one iron pill YEARS ago (prior to hair issue) and it caused me to projectile vomit a silvery substance.
A good way to check for anemia (low iron) would be a blood test with your doctor - before any iron supplementation.

I've never heard of anything missing from your diet making you lose your hair, but I know malnourishment makes you lose your hair, so start taking a multi-vitamin. You must be missing out on alot of vitamins to make you lose your hair. It's always good to take a multi-vitamin anyway if you are a vegan. I bet it will help.
Protien. U can get it by eating protien bars and taking a good suppliment
need to have protiens and iron in your diet.. dont stay too late at night.. get enough sleep.. massage your scalp. reduce the use of shampoo.
I've heard that hair loss can be associated with zinc defiency. I'm lacto-ovo and I take Schiff's multivitamin that's formulated for vegetarians, plus 30mg of zinc daily.
Hair loss can also be hormonal or genetic and there are forms of alopecia that are sort of their own disorder, having nothing to do with overall health. Maybe you should talk to your doctor since it could be any number of things that aren't to do with your diet.

What can I do about rapid hair loss and dandruff?
I'm only 14, and I used to have shiny, healthy hair. Somewhere along puberty I got severe dandruff which just wouldn't go away regardless of whatever shampoo and medication I tried. With the dandruff came greasy hair and slight hair loss, but it wasn't too bad. Somehow the dandruff and greasiness went away, but the rate of hair loss increased rapidly.
I still look OK because my hair is quite thick, but the amount of hair on my bedroom floor is really scary. What could have brought on the sudden hair loss? Is there anything I can do about it?
Here's a blog that totally covers everything dealing with dandruff. Read over it cuz everything from treatments to remedies to cures is covered there. Hope it helps:)

How can you prevent loss of hair without having to use hair oil?
I hate hair oil but isn't there any easy ways to prevent hair loss? I've heard of a couple of stuff and tried it but it never really worked for me.
It doesn't matter whether we use oil or not, for the most important thing to do daily to keep your hair nice and healthy is to drink atleast 2 - 3 lits. of water and have plenty of raw vegetables and fruits.To keep hair healthy, clean and soft shampoo and condition it once in 2or 3 days.
What is the best way to handle female hair loss post-partum?
My husband hates wigs...I can't afford expensive weaves.
What can I do to best deal with hair loss along my front hairline? (I was already told this is normal post-partum hair loss and that it will grow back over time.) Currently, I am wearing twists and have been wearing headbands to cover up the short hair spots.
I remember those days. I lost a lot of hair after I had my son. One way I dealt was to wear bangs to help disguise a slightly thinner hairline. I wore my hair curled and full, to make it look thicker.
My hair did grow back. It is not quite as thick as it was before, but it is still thick.
How do you treat dandruff related hair loss?
I switched hair products two weeks ago and I have allergies so I guess my skin must be sensitive to it because my scalp dried out and then I got bad dandruff which is odd for me as it's never been a problem before. Now my hair is falling out more than normal (a lot more). I read on several medical sites that severe dandruff can cause hair loss, but didn't mention a treatment.
Will treating the dandruff with medicated shampoos solve the hair loss as well? I'll be seeing my doctor in a few days but am interested in how to treat this from any one knowledgeable or has experience in this area.
Thanks!
Washing your hair with a good quality shampoo and conditioner choosing the mildest option is best I think. Don't use baby shampoo. Surprisingly or not so surprisingly your diet can affect your scalp. Alkalising yourself and taking supplements is an option to consider. How's your stress levels. My goodness hair loss sounds pretty drastic at any time dandruff or not. Have a massage. Take a float. Meditate or something. Good luck with the western quick fix or Chinese herbalist or whomever you see.
