My girlfriends hair is thinning, could this be due to a lack of protein.  She is vegetarian and does not get?

It very well could be.  A friend of mine turned vegetarian and it caused alot of her hair to fall out--once she started eating meat again the problem stopped.

Vegan teenage girls need to be sure to get enough protein and calcium or their bones will lose their density and their muscles will become weaker and not be able to support the skeleton.  Their hair can become thin and lifeless.  Their skin can become dry and flaky.  To be healthy and vegan a teenage girl needs to eat beans and a lot of soy products.  Get all nutrition from live foods, (fruits and veggies) not from a bag or box.  A teenage girl can be healthy as a vegan if she is diligent with her nutrition.

i think this hair loss can be bc of lack of vitamins. maybe u need supplements, and there are some lotions in the market that u put it either be4 bathing or after specially for hair loss .and about ur hair being dry u can use masques or oil and try to not use the hair dryer much bc it 's one of the reasons that makes hair dry and weak.

YES!  RAPID WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAIR LOSS,DUE TO DEFICIENCY IN ZINC,PROTEIN,BLOTIN. YOU SHOULD TAKE MULTI- VITAMINS AS SAID ABOVE. BUT ALSO PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL STRESS CAN MAKE YOU LOSS ABOVE THE NORMAL 150 TO 300 STRAND OF HAIR WE HUMANS LOSS NORMALY A DAY. GOOD LUCK

My friend had the same problem. Try taking "Greens Plus". Not only does it help your hair, but also your overall health. Good luck! \n\nHere it is, available on Amazon, but I'm sure netrition.com would have it as well:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00012NG5I/103-9979627-7425464?v=glance

Greasy steroid pumped up and vaccinated meat, processed food, refined sugar, dairy, and white bread are wonderful hairloss products...They lead to improper elimination in our bowels and \none day may lead to premature hairloss.

It depends on whether you are taking enough protein and vitamins from other sources of foods or not.\nYou have to eat lot of legumes like peas, beans, soyabeans, tofu, diary products and greens in order to get protein and vitamins.

I'd say veggie; what could be wrong with eating vegetables and I'm sure that there are other ways to obtain protein\n   - I think meat has been linked to heart disease; matter of fact there was an article about the consumption of red meat on the front page of the Washington Post and the affects it has and how it makes women more prone to a certain kind of cancer but of course they will continue to sell it the same way they still sell milk

There may be other factors if your hair is falling out:\nStress\nPregnancy\nPost-pregnancy\nThyroid problem\nIf none of the above, I think Vitamin E helps strengthen hair.

She might be doing something that is causing the breakage.  Is she constantly putting it in a ponytail, overusing the curling iron or hairdryer, or using damaging products?  Does she naturally have dry skin or hair?  All of these factors can contribute to the problem.\n\nMy best suggestion is to use a hot oil treatment for the hair.  Then make sure she uses conditioner every time she washes.  Pantene may be a more expensive shampoo and conditioner, but it works wonders in helping hair get healthy.

Could be a sign of liver problems from all the fast food.  Probably she's not getting enough fiber too.  Take her in for a checkup and lay off the fast food!

I think this is highly doubtful.  You don't need to eat animal flesh in order to maintain your body.  You can not only can derive complex carbohydrates and fiber from plant foods, but plenty of protein and fat.\n\nIf what your friend says is true, I would imagine his problem is unrelated to his diet.

Could be a variety of things. Hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, malnutrition of certain nutrients, or alopecia. I would see my doc to rule out the first 3. Then learn more about alopecia if there is not a medical answer.

You are what you eat .... Taking the food that will strengthen and promote the hair growth is a BIG help ...\n\nSupplement such BIO ZINC daily will help ...\n\nPrescription medicine such as PROPECIA is definetely a good solution (but costly).\n\nThe best is .... Taking care what we are eating ...

fibrous vegetables and sources of lean protein

It probably has to do with the denaturing of proteins within the hair. Check out the website it might answer your question more thoroughly.

These are all good sources of protein:\n• Skim milk \n• Supplemental beverages \n• Fortified milk \n• Low-fat creamed soup \n• Low-fat yogurt \n• Low-fat cottage cheese \n• Scrambled eggs \n• Egg salad made with low-fat mayonnaise \n• Fat free refried beans\n\n-unless you are vegan, then you are pretty much stuck with beans
