Nutrition is a really important aspect to hair health so it was a pleasure to catch up with Registered Nutritionist @Lifes_recipe on instagram. There were lots of questions, and a great deal of interest in what can be done for scalp problems, shedding and brittle hair.
There has been a lot of interest in vitamin D recently due to the recent epidemic and it is important to remember that supplementation falls within national recommendation – as 90% is formed by the action of the sun on the skin, and in the UK climate we are unlikely to get enough vitamin D during the winter months.
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with several hair loss conditions including telogen effluvium (hair shedding), alopecia areata (autoimmune) and female pattern hair loss. However further studies are needed.
Stay safe and stay well.
