I have always had pretty fine hair. When I started dieting and exercising I noticed that there was more than normal in the drain every time I took a shower (sorry if TMI). I just noticed yesterday that since I have dramatically increased my protein consumption, it has been a few days since I have even seen any hair in the drain at all! I haven't really noticed it getting thicker on my head yet, but hopefully I will eventually. You have no idea how exciting this is for me! WIN!

    I have noticed that with my increased fat consumption my hair is so shiny. My complexion just glows are well. My Mom says my eyes are brighter (I'm unsure what that means.) Gotta love it.

    i remember my dad telling my years ago that hair is basically proteins (the joys of biologists for parents). didn't mean anything to me as a 9 year old, but i know that when i don't eat much protein, and particularly when i almost lived on diet coke, my hair suffers. the coke caused it to fall out very quickly!

    Thank you very much! I can't say that it was all from the paleo (actually I haven't weighed myself yet since the change, so none of it is), but it HAS been a lot of work! Thanks to everyone else as well for commenting and telling everyone what your paleo advantages have been!

    Same! I was actually losing so much hair that I was worried about thin patches...it was disgusting, and my doctor has no ideas. Its finally slowing down, and my nails don't break as much anymore.

    I've noticed some changes with my hair, too - I used to be able to pull out clumps of it in the shower. My skin is starting to look better as well.

    Not to derail from OP, but have you tried going without nightshades? That was the trick for me, and is a very common culprit.

    Could try cutting dairy.

    I can't see your diary, so I don't know what you're doing, but these are just some suggestions.
