I'm vegetarian, and lately because of my lack of nutrients my hair has been falling out. There's also the problem that I've dyed my hair several times, and I straighten it a few times a week. I love my hair and I've been trying to grow it out. How can I stop it from falling out?

Take vitamins to replace the nutrients that you're missing from your diet. I wouldn't dye your hair for a while and cut back on straightening it, because that damages your hair even more. Also you might try talking to someone at a hair salon and see if they have any tips for you (they know more about hair than I do)

STOP BEING VEGETARIAN

whats more important, your health or the little animals ?

if god put animals here and when you eat them you're healthy they're obviously here to eat

LMAO! good one Kate but i dont think people can just stop being vegy , my friend is one and i have tried about everything to get her to eat meat but she wont so w/e.

Yeah go to a hair salon and ask for tips =/ and lessen on the straightner and dying yer hair.

I'm a vegetarian and I had the same problem (although mine was stress-induced and not because of my vegetarianism).

First of all, up your protein intake. Eat the whites of a couple boiled eggs a day, stock up on Boca and Morningstar Farms products that are filled with soy protein, or make some stir-fry with tofu. Nuts and seeds are also good sources of protein although you have to watch out for those because they have a lot of saturated fat.

Secondly, go to the pharmacy and get some protein supplements. If you're confused about what to get, just ask one of the people working there to help you.

Third of all, STOP STRAIGHTENING YOUR HAIR SO MUCH. Only do it when you need to.

Fourth of all, go the salon and get a trim, just to liven your hair up a bit.

Lastly, don't wash it everyday. I know that sounds gross, especially if you have oily hair, but washing your hair every day dries it out and causes it to be more prone to breakage... which, combined with your hair falling out, will make you hair look ever MORE unhealthy.
