While some cases are linked to genetics, others result from stress, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or harsh hair treatments. Scientists are now developing innovative treatments to combat the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Dermatologists suggest several strategies to slow down hair loss and promote regrowth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Increase Protein Intake:<\/strong><br \/>A protein-rich diet can support hair growth. Vegans and vegetarians may need 40 to 60 grams of protein daily through sources like beans, eggs, and Greek yogurt. \u201cYou can drink your protein; you don\u2019t have to eat it in a food substance,\u201d says a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take Vitamins:<\/strong><br \/>Deficiencies in vitamins A, B, C, D, E, zinc, and iron can contribute to hair thinning. Supplements such as biotin with zinc, saw palmetto, calcium, and selenium can support healthy hair. \u201cLook for supplements from a reputable company,\u201d advises the dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow the Mediterranean Diet<\/strong>:<br \/>A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein supports hair health. Restrictive diets can cause nutrient deficiencies that affect hair follicles. \u201cYou may lose weight, but restrictive diets often lack essential nutrients for hair growth,\u201d the dermatologist explains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintain Scalp Health:<\/strong><br \/>Avoid harsh hair treatments, including dyeing, bleaching, and heat styling. Tight hairstyles, such as ponytails and braids, can cause stress on hair follicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Causes Hair Loss?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hair loss can result from multiple factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genetics<\/li>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n<li>Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)<\/li>\n<li>Damaging hairstyles<\/li>\n<li>Harsh haircare routines<\/li>\n<li>Medications (chemotherapy)<\/li>\n<li>Medical conditions (thyroid disease, fungal infections)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A dermatologist recommends working with a specialist to identify potential triggers. Health history, medications, and lifestyle habits are key to determining the cause. \u201cShedding hair is an indicator that something\u2019s wrong,\u201d the dermatologist notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can Hair Loss Be Reversed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reversing hair loss depends on its cause. Some forms, like cicatricial alopecia, are permanent, while others caused by stress or medical conditions can be temporary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the trigger is removed, hair will recover within four to six months to a year,\u201d explains the dermatologist. However, early intervention is crucial to improving outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen\u00a0to\u00a0article Hair loss, or alopecia, affects millions worldwide, impacting self-esteem and confidence.
