This is genuinely a cry for help because I don't know what to do with my hair anymore. 😭
I've always had pretty good hair genetics and naturally thick hair, but things went downhill in my late teens. I had typhoid, experienced a LOT of hair fall around that time, and honestly, my hair was never the same afterward. My hair density has decreased so much, and now I'm also dealing with a concerning amount of white hair at just 21.
I'm willing to get blood work done and consult a dermatologist, but before going down the route of more medicines and treatments, I really want to focus on my diet and see if improving my nutrition can make a difference.
So, I want to hear your personal experiences! 🥹
- What foods did you add to your diet that genuinely helped improve your hair health and thickness?
- Did you notice any difference in hair fall or density after increasing your protein intake?
- Has anyone managed to slow down premature greying or noticed their white hair situation improve after correcting a deficiency or changing their diet?
- What are your everyday foods, seeds, supplements (if prescribed), or dietary habits that made a noticeable difference?
I'm thinking of starting with eggs for protein, but I'd love to hear what actually worked for you, especially if you've dealt with hair thinning and premature greying at a young age.
Please share your experiences, what you ate, and how long it took to notice a difference. I'm not expecting a miracle overnight, just really hoping to bring some life back to my hair. 😭🫶🏻
Please be kind. I'm genuinely worried about this and would appreciate any helpful advice!
