🔍 Root Causes of Hair Issues

• Underlying Health: Treating surface symptoms without addressing gut, hormones, or stress won’t help long-term.
  
• Modern Lifestyle: Poor diet, stress, pollution, and rushed living lead to faster aging and hair fall.

🧪 Key Internal Health Factors

1. Gut Health
   
   • Poor digestion → poor nutrient absorption → hair loss
     
   • Fix acidity, bloating, IBS, constipation for hair recovery

2. Hormonal Imbalance
   • Imbalances (e.g., PCOS, menopause) affect hair growth
     
   • Linked to estrogen, testosterone, prolactin, progesterone

3. Thyroid & Autoimmune Health
   • Hypothyroidism and high TPO/ATG can trigger patchy hair loss (Alopecia)
     
   • Often linked with gut issues, gluten/dairy intolerance, stress

4. Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies
   • Check levels of:
     • D3, B12, Biotin, Zinc, Iron, Ferritin, A, E, B-Complex
       
     • Also: Calcium, Phosphorus, Selenium, Potassium, Sodium

🌿 Lifestyle Fixes

• Diet: Prioritize real, whole foods (fruits, nuts, lean protein, seeds); avoid fad diets
  
• Stress: Major cause of early greying and hair loss; manage via meditation, lifestyle changes
  
• Shampoos/Chemicals: Avoid harsh cosmetics; switch to essential oil-based or chemical-free products
  
• Oiling: Regular use of coconut, sesame, or castor oil nourishes follicles
  
• Exercise: Increases blood flow to scalp; yoga and inversions help
  
• Sleep: Deep sleep (“Vitamin S”) is crucial for hair regeneration
  
• Swimming: Chlorine damages hair – wear a cap to protect

Personal Notes and Reflections:

I have been undergoing hair treatment for a couple of months now. It is a combination of PRP, Vitamin Supplements and Minoxidil. I have seen a significant improvement for myself personally.

Though I should have made diet changes I have not been very consistent with this regards. I am still on the treatment.
