🌿 Top Reasons for Hair Loss

Hair loss can feel like it comes out of nowhere, but often, your hair is responding to what’s happening throughout your body. 🌿

While genetics and hormonal changes can play a major role, other factors may contribute to increased shedding or changes in hair health, including:

💊 Nutrient deficiencies — Healthy hair growth depends on adequate nutrition. Nutrients commonly associated with hair health include iron, vitamin D, zinc, biotin (vitamin B7), vitamin B12, folate, and vitamins A, C, and E. Deficiencies in certain nutrients—particularly iron, vitamin D, zinc, B12, and folate—may contribute to hair shedding or impaired hair growth. More isn’t always better, though, so supplementation should be based on individual needs.

😴 Stress + lack of sleep — Ongoing stress and inadequate rest can disrupt the normal hair-growth cycle and may contribute to increased shedding.

💧 Your environment — Water quality, environmental exposures, and everyday hair-care habits can all affect the health of your hair and scalp.

The important thing to remember? Hair health is often connected to whole-body health. Understanding what may be contributing to changes in your hair is the first step toward finding the right approach for you.
