I guess that you and I think differently

For me it is not about money. It is all about heart. My husband has a full head of hair, not a lot of money but even if he were bald (which I find to be sexy) and had no money I would still find him attractive

If it is genetic it would be your mom's dad. Since that doesn't seem to be the case, then it may be your diet.

As for food that causes hair loss or gain:

avoid excessive intake of vitamin A
hormone replacement may increase hair loss
steroid muscle building supplements may increase hair loss
avoid smoking
avoid excessive alcohol consumption
spicy foods may cause increased hair loss albeit temporary
avoid highly oxidative foods
stress leads to hair loss *avoid stress*

A wholesome diet, rich in silica, calcium and iron, will help reduce or prevent hair loss. Green, leafy vegetables, especially sea vegetables, are good mineral sources. Raw oats provide silica. Dried fruits and cherry juice are rich sources of iron.


Taking two acidophilus tablets after or between meals (four to six tablets per day) for two months will help.

organ meat, whole grain cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, eggs, dates, and raisins.

soy milk is a good source of soy protein. You can also buy soy shake mix.

Other good sources of protein are: low-fat cheese, eggs, fish, beans, brewer's yeast and yogurt

Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron. Include a good serving of fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Vitamin E is important for healthy hair growth. Eat avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil on a regular basis.

Excessive intake of Vitamin A can cause hair loss.

Eat vegetables such as carrots or spinach in unrefined, cold-pressed seed oils such as flax, walnut or pumpkin seed and sea salt. Take turnips, cabbage, mustard, soy beans, peanuts, pine nuts and millet if there is a deficiency of iodine.

This is a lot of information to digest. It all sounds pretty healthy to me. We eat this way at our house on a fairly regular basis. Both my husband and I have waist length hair which we both ready to cut off. Tired of vacuuming it up.

I, myself, eat a lot of raw foods but don't have hair loss problems, I have scalp problems so pay attention to what I eat. I use a lot of different shampoos and essential oils.
