    Ladies it’s me again 😂😂 have any of you herd of hair loss do to fasting?? Missing out on the essentials our bodies need I get it, but really hair loss??

    Hair loss due to undereating is definitely a thing. The way hair life cycle works, it generally doesn't happen immediately afterwards though - hair loss yesterday is not likely to be caused by fasting two days ago.

    A stressor from a few months back, for example, undereating, is a more likely cause.

    That said, my time of the month is very hard on me and I do seem to lose more hair a few days into my period.

    Thank you again friends, i use to view fasting as a punishment, but after reading your response the good the bad I look at it completely different know. The hair loss comment came from my neighbor she told me she fasted and for 45 days and 3 month later her hair was falling out due to the fast.
    Again
    Thank you

    Yep, that would, unsurprisingly, result in hair loss.

    That's one of the problems with under-eating - the negative effects may not show up for a while, in your friend's case, 3 months.

    That's one of the problems with under-eating - the negative effects may not show up for a while, in your friend's case, 3 months.

    Or just perhaps, twelve weeks later, the hair loss was completely unrelated.
