Question: I'm losing weight, but my hair is getting very dry and falling out!. Anyone else experience this!?
Looking at my family, we dont' have much a history at all of hair loss!. My hair used to have some oil but now it's just super dry and when I take showers a lot falls out!.
I don't think it's lack of nutrients or vitamins, as I do eat a lot and make a point to eat variety!. I've been exercising a lot for the last year and this has been going on for the last year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I think the nutrient that you are missing is cod liver oil!. It grows hair and nails!. I went through a weight loss and my hair was thinning and my nails were brittle!. I started taking a cod liver oil capsule everyday and my hair stopped falling out and my nails went back to normal!. Cod liver oil by the way is the natural oil from fish!. It's also good for your skin!. Also i would cook with olive oil exclusively, and eat foods that contain Omega 3!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Check your protein intake!. Lack or protein can cause thinning hair (my vegetarian daughter who refuses to learn how to get good vegetarian protein is finding this out!.) If you're watching meat because of fat content or if you're dramatically increased your strength training, you may need more protein!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Are you drinking enough water!? You should be drinking at least 4 16Oz bottles of water a day or 8 8oz glasses of water!. If that does not help you should see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
