We all wonder how did Rapunzel have such lovely hair? Well we might need to ask her to answer this question , but here we can help you understand the causes of your hair fall, and the real reasons behind it.

1. Nutritional deficiency: If you are on a diet or crash dieting then that will result in a nutritional deficiency. So, your hair growth is dependent on all the nutrients you are feeding your body. At least 50% of the women in India have iron deficiency. That means they suffer from iron deficiency that could result in tiredness, easily getting fatigued, breathlessness and many other symptoms but one other thing that can also happen is hair fall. So, getting all the vitamins checked by a doctor is something which is recommended.

You can also add foods like spinach, beetroot, broccoli, tofu, shellfish, oyster, liver, meat, pumpkin seed, apple, banana, and pomegranate to your diet to combat nutritional deficiency.

Note: Do not consume any of these things if you are allergic or have any medical condition.
