Does lack of iron make your hair fall out?

My grandmother used to make us curry leaf powder with hot rice to prevent hair fall. But when my hair fall became severe, she told me to go to the clinic. The doctor found my ferritin levels were very low, and prescribing iron supplements was the only thing that worked. Do consult your doctor.

In our times, we also saw children and daughters lose hair due to weak blood, which we now call iron deficiency. Don't worry, child, once you improve your diet and take proper iron tablets for a few months, the hair always grows back. Have patience and eat healthy meals.

Haan babu, iron ki kami se baal bahut jhadte hain. Hamari bahu ke bhi baal bohot toot rahe the, phir doctor ne khoon badhane ki tonic di. Ab uske baal bilkul theek hain aur chehre par rounak bhi aa gayi hai.

It definitely does. If your body doesn't have enough iron, it channels oxygen only to vital organs, leaving your hair follicles starved. Make sure you are getting enough green veggies or lean meat, and don't skip your workouts as it helps improve blood circulation to the scalp.

Yes, low iron is like the biggest secret enemy of your hair! 😭 When your body lacks iron, it can't carry oxygen to your hair roots, causing them to fall out. But the good news is it's totally reversible once you get your iron levels back up! 💪
