Is Weight a Contributing Factor to Female Hair Loss?

hello! i’m a 21 year old female student that has been experiencing hair loss for a couple years now. my stress levels varies, but i doubt that is the reason why i’m shedding. my mom believes that i’m lacking the correct amount of vitamins and what nots. i eat regularly, but i’m 5’4” and only 102 lbs. do you think my weight is a contributing factor? also, what kind of supplements should i consider? rogaine would be my very last resort, so any advice is greatly apprecaited. thank you.

If you are malnourished, then this is a cause of hair loss along with a variety of medical conditions that require a good doctor to exclude in a diagnostic workup. Diseases like thyroid disease can cause weight loss and hair loss. Focusing upon dietary supplements is the wrong focus. You need to know if you are healthy first, and if you are malnourished second. Taking some natural supplements will delay what you need to do. The best students are those who understand and learn about their body. It is a temple, so treat it with respect.
