Top 5 Hair Loss Red Flags🚩 • 1. Not eating enough protein Hair is primarily made up of keratin (a type of protein) Chronically low protein intake can push hair follicles into the shedding phase. Aim for .75-1g per pound of body weight. 2. Prolonged calorie deficit/weight loss phase Rapid weight loss, restrictive dieting or chronic under eating can trigger periods of hair loss even 4-6 months after. I’m seeing a huge influx of clients on a GPL1 with hair loss. If your body is struggling and needs to conserve energy, hair is not essential and will suffer. 3. Ignoring Scalp Health Your scalp ages 6X faster than the skin on our face so having a routine like you would for your face is essential for healthy growth. Your scalp will give you signs it’s unhappy. Buildup, itchiness, flakes, wrong products…all can cause inflammation. Chronic inflammation can damage or disrupt the growth cycle or damage the hair follicles. 4. Tight Hairstyles/Slickback Buns If this is your daily hairstyle it’s time to let the hair relax. Constant tension on the follicles can result in traction alopecia. If your scalp feels sore or hurts after wearing a hair style, consider that your warning. 5. Treating Hair Loss Blindly Get regular lab work. Check your levels. Taking biotin/collagen is not enough. Using hair growth products that aren’t clinically tested or being hyped up by marketing claims can drain your wallet and your hope. Regular hair shed is 50-150 hairs per day. If you’re noticing more hair in your shower drain it’s time to do something about it. My page shows you exactly how I went from having hormonal hair loss & excessive shedding…to the thickest, healthiest hair of my life without doing anything fancy. I just switched my hair products to ones that were scientifically formulated and clinically backed. And now I’ve helped almost 5000 clients with their own hair🩷 • #hairgrowth #hairloss #hairtransformation #haircare #hairgrowthjourney - @jenronfit
