The short answer
Yes. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that getting too little biotin, iron, protein, or zinc can cause noticeable hair loss. Your body has to absorb nutrients to use them, which is why Iisha's assessment asks about digestion, diet, stress, and lifestyle, not just your hair routine. Confirm deficiencies with your physician before supplementing.
Your hair grows out of your body
It's important to remember that hair is part of the body. It grows out of the largest organ, your skin. Better self-care leads to healthier hair. Don't wait until the problem arises. Be proactive and learn a regimen that is right for YOU.
What the research supports
Dermatologists list low biotin, iron, protein, or zinc among the causes of hair loss, and say hair can regrow once the body gets what it was missing. Stressful events, illness, and childbirth can also trigger heavy shedding a few months later.
