Diet and Hair Fall: What Your Plate Has to Do With Your Scalp

Topical products can only do so much if the underlying nutritional foundation isn't there — hair follicles are metabolically active and respond to what's going on inside the body, too.

Protein and Hair Structure

Hair is made primarily of a protein called keratin, so inadequate protein intake over time can affect hair strength and growth. Ensuring enough protein through meals is a foundational, often-overlooked step.

Iron and Oxygen Delivery

Iron deficiency is one of the more common, testable causes of diffuse hair thinning, particularly in women, since iron plays a role in delivering oxygen to hair follicles.

Vitamin D and Overall Follicle Health

Low vitamin D levels have been associated with hair thinning in some studies, making it worth checking levels through a simple blood test if hair fall is persistent.

Diet Supports, But Doesn't Replace, Scalp Care

A good diet and a good scalp-care routine work together rather than one replacing the other. AYHURA's Advance Hair Growth Oil supports the external side of this equation.
