Hair loss is a sign you are lacking vitamins in your diet, but has nothing to do with meal schedules. It's a 100 strands per day and wearing your hair really tight pulls on the hair and it breaks off and ends on the floor. Each individual hair survives for an average of 4-1/2 years, during which time it grows about half an inch a month. Usually in its 5th year, the hair falls out and is replaced within 6 months by a new one. Genetic baldness is caused by the body's failure to produce new hairs and not by excessive hair loss.
