Nutrition and hair growth
Hair is not a priority for the body. If there are deficiencies, you often notice it in your hair first.
Important building blocks
Proteins, iron, zinc, vitamin D and B vitamins play a role in hair growth. Eggs, fish, legumes, nuts and green vegetables are good sources.
Supplements
Supplements are especially useful if there is a proven deficiency. After a transplant, you follow the vitamin schedule of the clinic.
Avoid crash diets
Rapid weight loss can cause temporary hair loss a few months later. A balanced eating pattern is better for hair and scalp.
