(female) I am 23 years old and a vegetarian and recently i have noticed my hair has been getting much thinner, everytime i run my fingers through my hair, several strands fall out and it has been feeling much thinner since it used to be pretty thick. I have been growing my hair out for Lock of Love the past two years, I am 5′8″ and my hair length rests at my butt so it i very long. Could the thinness be because of my vegetarian diet, could it be from the length and how long i’ve been growing it out, or could i be balding already? Please let me know. Thanks.
If you are losing hair, the other things that you mentioned probably has nothing to do with it, providing you are getting the full vitamins you need and are not anemic. We often try to connect two facts or events that are not related, because our intelligent nature requires close examination of our health and our lives. So no, you being vegetarian or growing your hair long have nothing to do with losing hair.

Ive done a lot of research on this issue. To be honest havingread that u already have long hair etc, i suspect your diet isnt the cause. Virtually all females i come across that are vegs have a full head of hair. If u were male id say YES as i find they have a higher propensity to hair loss. I used to be a veg and my hair thinned out and i couldnt understand why. DEVASTATING - it took years of research to get some sort of reversal efect going. Diet alone with multi vits DID NOT solve the problem. I have researched this area really heavily so i will shut up now as i could talk at length about it!!
i had a question about what you were talking about above. I’m 22 year vegan male and have been for about 3 years and im suffering from hair loss. I have been trying to figure out what im doing wrong for a while now. I’m taking my vitamins eating right and go to the gym regularly. I do not know what im doing wrong. I was wondering if you knew anything that i can do or read up on i would so much appreciate it. Also, another thing is sometimes my head feels itchy and i have like film or crust on my scalp and to tell you the truth it never happened until i became vegan or any of the hair loss symptoms. It just really annoying and want it to grow back thick and full like it used to. Thanks!!!!
