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.3 -
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.

Yep, that would, unsurprisingly, result in hair loss.3 -

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.2 -

Or just perhaps, twelve weeks later, the hair loss was completely unrelated.4 -

Nope, that's a pretty normal length of time for hair loss from malnutrition to start showing up. It can take months for the ill effects of chronic under eating to become apparent. By then, the damage is done (including to rather important organs like your heart).5
